Ironman Wisconsin : Official Thread (Page 20)

  Don't know.  Wife got one for Louisville. I used it.  A lot like gatorade in taste.  But now I want my own "free" case.

Coldplay Viva la Vida was on there, can't remember the other. I was really bummed about the change in the download. They handed out DVDs the year before so we got the same music, but with the download they don't have the rights. If you ever buy a DVD of the NBC Kona coverage it's the same situation.

We got them for IMLP about two weeks ago. Maybe they only sent them for the first couple races?

I emailed them and got the following.  We are SOL.

Matt,

Thank you for your email. Athletes who are participating in the 2010 Ford Ironman Louisville, Ford Ironman Lake Placid, Amica Ironman 70.3 Rhode Island and Ironman 70.3 Racine will receive a complimentary case of the new Ironman PERFORM. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.


Best wishes,

Anybody doing HHH this weekend?  I think I may give the 200k a shot.  If I can survive that then IMWI should be a breeze. 

rode the course today with a buddy. we both flatted on the blacktop on garfoot just off mineral pt rd. nothing on the road just hot and that was what punctured our tires.

OVerall, how are the road conditions looking out there?

Road conditions between Verona and Mount Horeb are poor. Be-careful of potholes on the downhills.

One other word of warning to people planning on swimming in Monona in the near future. The lake is almost in flood stage - i.e. poor water quality.

Doing HHH-100k is enough for me, especially that last monster coming back into the state park.

IMHO I think the 200K HHH is harder than Ironman WI

***Important update to this!!  The Dairyland Dare folks are having to CAP this ride at 1500 folks....AND, they already have nearly 1000 people signed up ....so sign up soon or miss the FUN!!**

Another IMWI 2010 Training Opportunity:

OKAY BT-Nation! I am sending out a reminder for the Dairyland Dare/Verona loop cycling "Camp" that I am presenting as part of my coaching service "Ironbrick Training".

 I have rooms blocked out in Verona but space is somewhat limited....I've made arrangements for water and a porta potty on the Verona Loop and obviously the Dairyland Dare is a supported ride........
The camp will include a bit of "classroom time" on Sat evening to review race strategy and do a Q&A about what to expect at IMWI.  I have volunteered there enough times to have seen plenty of examples of good and bad plans/executions so let me help you plan for a great race!

Details of "camp' are on my website:

Low key....good chance to ride the tricky part of the course as well as put down some serious miles the day before......

Hope to see you there!

Did anyone else have a telemarketer call because you were signed up for ironman this year?

First a racket on the drinks, now IM is selling phone numbers.

I'm doing HHH 100k tomorrow....although I've rode the actual course multiple times, this thing makes me nervous....

100k here and questioning my sanity.

200K at HHH for me for my 3rd consecutive year.  All I can say is take it easy and drink lots!  Don't forget your sunscreen.

Cool, thanks for the link, end of July may work better for me

If anyone is interested in riding the course July 17 let me know! We are road-tripping it

Gotta love the ironman spirit in some of the locals, sounds like IMKY last year

Hey Suzi, nice to finally meet you at CapView!

I'm always tossed up about whether to report these people as it might aggravate them even more.  I do know that police take *very* seriously anything thrown from cars directed at other cars or people.  If you give them a good description they will track them down.

Maybe it was the new Ironman Perform SAG Vehicle delivering nutrition?

Something weird always seems to happen on Hwy 92 or KP.....with my new geeky side view mirror at least I know someone is coming up behind me. 

I reported something similar to the cops last year when a cement truck ran me off the road on KP and they told me unless they saw it there was nothing they could do.

Great to meet you too....doing the next aquathon?

you just need to mile back at those people and show them that doesn't phase you...works for me!

Huh...and I thought only the rednecks on the country roads here in Indiana only did that!  Geez...

I usually switch to riding in the drops when a car comes up behind me and I give a little wave as they go past.  I don't even know if they see it, but lately I haven't had as many people yell at me as they went past.
