Veteran 225 | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Racine : Official Thread I would consider myself better than the avg. agegroup (sprint) triathlete, but with this being an official ironman event. Will I get completely blown away? I mean yes I figure so much but wanting to know before getting there and figuring it out first hand. Edited by Decatur217 2010-02-13 10:31 AM |

Member 28 Muskego | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Racine : Official Thread This is my first HIM. I am super excited to try. I was at Spirit of Racine last year as a spectator and looking forward to being a participant this year. In the market for a wetsuit. Anyone have any suggestions? The swim is my weakest link. |

Member 54 | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Racine : Official Thread I am thinking the same thing!!! Training does keep me out of trouble! I try not to stress about the race too much. My focus is Ironman MOO! next year this is just a stepping stone. ( A big one!!) I am going to be doing a lot of bike work. just let me know if you want to do any group rides! |

I found that the entry level suits are better for beginners. You can check out MOX or Exterra wetsuits. I bought a one online from the "wetsuit man" on Ebay and a sleeveless from Exterra. My first wetsuit was a Zoot from MOX. Be prepared for some tightness!! |

Expert 1121 Chicago | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Racine : Official Thread For people coming from Chicago (or northern burbs), any thoughts about driving up early the morning of the race vs. getting a hotel in the area? |

Member 52 | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Racine : Official Thread I have not read the details yet, by typicaly in manyIronman events you have to check in your bike the day before. If that is the case I would think coming the day before is best... if not I enjoy drivin gin the morning to wake up, but if it is going to stress youout then I would come up the afternon before.. |

Regular 247 Waterloo | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Racine : Official Thread I am in for this year. I'll be using this race as more of a status check for my A race (Rev3 full IM at Cedar Point). I was wondering if anyone is aware of what the packet pickup/bike check-in situation is for this race? Being it is IM branded, I assume the mandatory overnight hotel stay(s) are part of the deal? |

Veteran 427 | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Racine : Official Thread Just signed up this morning. Definitely excited and am just looking to finish in a decent condition. Planning on doing the full IM next year in WI so this is one of the final baby steps. Time to get busy... |

Being it is IM branded, I assume the mandatory overnight hotel stay(s) are part of the deal? I just booked my room. I didn't come across any mandatory 2 night stay, however most of the less expensive hotels are booked unless you are willing to stay farther away from the venue. I waited too long. |

Veteran 427 | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Racine : Official Thread Yea....I'm a little further out at a Super 8 (about 4 mi. West of the race). The Radisson right off the lake is booked (which would have been nice since it's close to the race). |
