Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Golfpro......I will probably sign up but I need to complete another kind of race at the moment! I am almost done with chemo and radiation...wooohoooo....I was dx with cervical ca 10 days after Louisville IM last year (sounds funny to say last yr). I have kept as active as possible but my body has taken a beating! So I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that I can recuperate well with not many long lasting effects from radiation! Happy training to you and run some extra miles for me :-)......Alicia |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() golfpro - 2011-12-31 4:41 PM sarahswhere - 2011-12-28 4:51 PM I am sorry to hear about your Dad- we'll be there with you all the way!ThomasAnd not to get too terribly sentimental, but the race is on my dad's birthday, whom I lost this October. I'm racing in his honor and for Type I diabetes awareness. He became a diabetic at age 11 and suffered with it for 45 years, so it only seems appropriate for me to suffer for a day. Thanks. I'll probably need some support along the way. |

Member ![]() ![]() | ![]() I'm in again for 2012! I had a rough training year last year with multiple injuries and mono for half of the summer leading up to IM Coz 2011. I had to readjust my goal to just get to the start line, so I was thrilled that I made the bike cutoff by 1 minute 14 seconds, but I had to take it really slow during the marathon due to fatigue from the mono. I DNF'd after 22K or so because at that point, I knew I wouldn't have time to finish and I was proud of what I managed to do given the circumstances. I was so happy I made it that far that I didn't even care. But NOW, it's on!! I am bound and determined to have a healthy season and get out there at 100%! I absolutely LOVED everything about the whole experience and can't wait to do it again! |

I am looking forward to watching you push forward towards your IM goals.

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Toured via rental car. Course is what I expected. I've been diving in Cozumel for 15 years so I am pretty familiar with the island. Just hadn't been on the exact roads in quite a few years. Base training now till the snow thaws, and actual plan will start sometime in May / June. golfpro - 2012-02-08 5:51 AM leapdog - 2012-02-06 11:16 AM Toured the bike and run courses while on vacation last week.

New user![]() | ![]() what's the course like? |
![]() ![]() |
Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Swim: Warm and has high visibility. Bike: Mostly flat and exposed. Pavement looks pretty decent the whole way. Serious crosswinds on the leg from Punta Sur north to the cut across the island. Run: Pretty much flat. Others who have done it can give more specifics or you can get more info on the course home page. mindiswilling - 2012-02-08 3:48 PM what's the course like? |

![]() | ![]() I'm taking the plunge come July- really due to work obligations. However my build is different than most- slowly getting back distance, then speed. Marathon with wife in March, century ride for completion in April, state time trial in June to relive cycling days of speed, then focused build up to Cozumel. |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() lol, I was jk golfpro....golfpro...golfpro....golfpro.... I just completed my first 4 hour bike ride on a trainer...It went by pretty good, watched 2 movies I hadn`t seen in some time. I have a new trainer coming in this week...Tacx Vortex with the computer program. Im so looking forward to it. Im just maintaining my running right now at 3 times a week ~40 to 45 k depending on how I feel. I need to get in the pool, I just dont enjoy swimming so Im finding it hard to go. Hope everyone else is doing great Cheers |

New user![]() | ![]() good god 4 hours is a great effort. I managed 2h30min a few weeks ago and i felt really tired and really bored. |
![]() ![]() |
Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I found the first 35 minutes to 55 minutes tough and the last 30 minutes, but other then that the movies were a good distraction. Now that I have the vortex it should make my rides even more fun. Everything came in yesturday so all I need now is a converter as I bought the unit from europe. |
