Regular 106  SF Bay Area, California |  Subject: RE: Ironman Arizona : Official ThreadStill building as I was out of action for +5 weeks. Back injury is not letting me swim yet. Saturday: 40M Bike at 19.0MPH and 3 Mile Run. Sunday: 5M run and strength training. Monday will be an 8M run. Trail marathons are truly a challenge, well done! |

Regular 87 | Subject: RE: Ironman Arizona : Official Thread This weekend was a long brick for me Saturday, great way to spend the birthday, eh? 4 hour (70 mile) ride followed by 2 hour (almost 12 mile) run. It was a long day, and I made some mistakes but I ended up learning a lot about nutrition and pacing for a long run after a long ride, so better to learn now than race day right? Took a nap and found a little bit of time to myself after training to celebrate the bday with friends. Sept 19th is int'l talk like a pirate day if you didn't know, and I found some pirates to celebrate with, pics to come later 2 mile ows swim with Dolores on Sunday, my longest swim so far, it's a long time to be in the water but I feel a little bit better about the 2.4 miles now. |

Champion 9600   Fountain Hills, AZ | Subject: RE: Ironman Arizona : Official Thread Saturday was a clinic with my coach and all his athletes. 45min of open water swim drills, a 93 mile bike (felt great, averaged 21+ mph) and then a short 4 mile run. The bike went up the BeeLine for a section. Sunday was an 18 mile run, felt great after the first 9 miles, averaged 7:18 pace. |

Extreme Veteran 459 | Subject: RE: Ironman Arizona : Official Thread End of my recovery week. "short" stuff both days except for the 2 mile swim I did with Faeron. Wetsuit was good and swim was good too. It's LONG. Everything is LONG these days. Oh and I had a bike fit Friday night. I don't know about anyone else but I wouldn't cry if the race were this weekend. Bring it. Let's do this thing. |

Veteran 273 Virginia Beach | Subject: RE: Ironman Arizona : Official Thread Nutrition is so key on the bike. For myself I take in 300+ calories an hour. I accomplish this by mixing a half bottle of Gatorade (fruit punch YUM!) half bottle of water and 2 scoops of Carbo Pro. I also have a faily sensative stomach and the cutting of the gatorade with water really helps. Carbo Pro as mentioned is tastless and mixes very well, you wont even know its there. I am no trainer by any means but my personal suggestion would be to start at 300 calories an hour (liquid form) and if that is too much for your stomach, back it down until you find what your stomach can handle and go from there. Good Luck! molly@rosenblumlawlv - 2009-09-20 12:47 PM Need some guidance...I did a 75 mile ride yesterday in under 4:00 but if you asked me to go another 40 miles+ there would have been no way. I have tried perpetum and it made me sick. I've been alternating water/gatorade and throwing in some hammer gels and cliff bars along the way, but I know that it is not going to get it done for IMAZ. Some suggestions for bike nutrition would be helpful...thanks |

I just finally got to start the LONG stuff in the past couple weeks so I'm loving it, but I'm sure by the time taper comes I'll be ready to get on with it already! |

Expert 1226 Chicago | Subject: RE: Ironman Arizona : Official Thread Exceptionally challenging weekend for my mentally...and it affected my performance all around. Friday: 2500 yd pool swim. Saturday: 2 mile OWS, 3.5 hr run (of which I was so upset I pretty from things that threw down earlier in the day that much walked the vast majority of it) Sunday: 3.5 hour ride with a crosswind the whole time followed by a 5 mile run. Sunday was significantly better and I think I've gotten my poop in a group mentally now. |

Extreme Veteran 483 Pacific NW | Subject: RE: Ironman Arizona : Official Thread It sounds like most everyone had a good weekend! Barb, way to push through the mental stuff. That's what will get us through on race day. I had an okay weekend with a long swim and 2hr run on Sunday, and OWS and long bike on Sunday. Unfortunately the ride was cut short due to a crash. I wiped out going too fast on some railroad tracks around mile 25. My front tire slid on the metal, spun sideways, got stuck in the rut, and I was bodyslammed to the ground. I should have called it a day after that, but decided that since nothing was broken that I should suck it up and try and finish the ride. Today I can barely move my head and my back/shoulders are really tweaked. F*&%. I have my tune-up half ironman on Saturday. Hoping to be able to just get through it now. |

I'm glad nothing is broken. I did the same thing on a sandy corner and hurt like a mofo the next day. Hang in there and if it's still sore call your doctor. We want you in one piece for Arizona. |

Expert 1076 Las Vegas, NV | Subject: RE: Ironman Arizona : Official Thread I checked into the wristbands from the idea I proposed earlier about wearing them during the race for BT id and photo's. If there is enough interest I'll order a hundred or so and we can distribute them at the pre race get together for particpants and support crews. I'll sponsor these (or take a 75 cent donation per) if we can get enough of a group that will wear them. How about the following style with IMAZ 2009 debossed into it:  We could go with a single color also, but the vendor I checked with offers the three color red-white-blue at the same price as the single color. Comments? |

Expert 1076 Las Vegas, NV | Subject: RE: Ironman Arizona : Official Thread Also going to bump the T-shirt post in a bit. Anyone with some graphics ability want to do some work on the design proposal? We should really get something as a final design set for consideration in the next couple weeks if it's going to happen. |

Extreme Veteran 357 Ft. Myers, Florida | Subject: RE: Ironman Arizona : Official Thread I like the wristband idea and I also like the red/white/blue. I think it would be more easily identifiable and unique than a solid color. |

Veteran 215 Las Vegas, NV | Subject: RE: Ironman Arizona : Official Thread quick survey of everyone's running shoes...I've been running in asics landreth IIs since the beginning of time and pretty sure that I own the last pair of size 7s in the entire world...I just ran 13 miles this morning and know for sure there is NO WAY these shoes are getting me to the finish line...I have considered Newtons but was told that for a full iron distance Newtons are no good because unless you are Craig Alexander or similar to him, nobody can hold that running for 26.2 miles...I talked to someone else who said Newtons are awesome and saved his legs, of course he has never done a full IM...so my thoughts are Avia, Zoot or Newtons...input is much appreciated |

Master 2411 Goodyear, AZ | Subject: RE: Ironman Arizona : Official Thread I wear Asics Nimbus. I also have been given Zoot Ultras and Avia Avi Lites but have never ran anything over 3 miles in them. I guess I'm in an Asics rut. |
