Champion  8766       Evergreen, Colorado |  Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official ThreadI would be down for a shirt! I have no idea if I will have any dedicated supporters, but would be up for at least a shirt for myself for the pre race stuff. And I would pass the info on to anyone that ends up coming.I would say that it would be nice if we can get the shirts as "last minute" as possible. I think folks missed out last year because they were ordered kind of early (IMHO).But whatever you do, don't let the poor chick in Iraq get stuck without one, mkay?  Someone please hit me over the head if you are placing the order and I haven't responded. I don't get to check this thread as much as I want to!p.s. The pool here is better than my pool at home. Sad, eh? |

Veteran 287 | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread Well it's almost march and spring is in the horizon ! Yippee, I'm looking forward to bike training outside.

How much did your V Dot go up? That will make a big potential time gain in a IM. |

Veteran 287 | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread My VDOT went from 36 to 41. Yeah, i'm prettry excited. It's early too in the season so who knows how fast I can get. It's exciting ! Something really clicked in my running this year. I think it's a combination of things but interval running and testing I think really helped. I was also doing a 3-4 mile snowshoe race ( in very hilly park) every other wednesday . Whatever it was I will continue. I need to up my goals though and even though I tested really well I now will have even harder workouts. It's the way it goes if I want to improve. Like at EN we say "Work..Works". Hopefully keep injuries away this year !! Thanks Kathy and btw I'm glad your mom is doing better. Nathalie |

We need would need to see if jccbulldog, our official IMFL BT shirt guy, check with printing place to see if other suppliers have hot pink in wicking shirts. I asked a lady here that has done printing on t-shirts for me. She can get wicking material, but no hot pink. She has a light pink but I don't think that would stand out as well. Not sure on pricing from her for the wicking. Hot pink may be hard to find. |

Expert 1139 Austin | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread Personally I don't care if it' a wicking shirt or not. I have plenty, and I'm sure I'll accumulate a few more before IMFL gets here. |

Veteran 405 Memphis, TN | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread I'd like to consider yellow. We did orange last year and I think the IM logo in red on the front of a yellow shirt would look great. Also, the ordering last year was done about as last minute as possible. We've got to get the quanities, the printing co has to order the shirts, then screen them (which they wont start until they have the order), then I have to mail them in time for everyone to get them before they come to FL and some folks are in Canada and some go down almost a full week in advance, etc... Shirts need to be ordered probably by October 1st. |

Expert 1139 Austin | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread Alright here's this month's totals with a percentage comparison of volume to last month.
Bike: 134.8% Run: 104% Swim: 214.9% I definitely need some more gains in the run department in March. | |

The bicycling is coming along nicely. Unfortunately I bent my foot and haven't been able to run while it heals. Yoga and skiing are good additions though. (call it cross training ) Um, about the pool... | |

Champion 19812 MA | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread Given all that went on this month with my Mom and traveling to MN, I am pleased. My run is building and did a 1/2 Mary today and did big negative split. I will bumping up weekly miles and frequency moving more towards 5x a week. Swimming working at swimming hard to improve my speed after spending 3 months on technique. Biking is taking back seat now as it is my strength have been doing FTP and VO2 max intervals. I need to get outside to ride more as I'm doing a HIM in about 8-9 weeks.

Expert 885 | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread February's totals: Bike: 11h 25m 03s - 186.43 Mi Run: 14h 31m 53s - 84.09 Mi Swim: 5h 21m 39s - 14500 Yd Strength: 10m Yoga: 2h 00m Finally got outside this weekend for a 51 mile bike ride. Felt great to be back outside, but I do need to get outside more often. The trainer helps your rear get use to the seat, but my legs could feel the hills. |
