Wow My race day breakfast is probably going to be exactly what it's been for a few years now: 4 SouthWestern rolls http://www.samsclub.com/sams/shop/product.jsp?productId=182334with 4 cheese sticks.

Haha wow 4 Southwestern rolls? That's amazing.  I bet I would feel that the rest of the day.  It's amazing how people are different.

I don't eat much the morning of an IM, lately I've been stuffing down 2-3 Ensures and maybe a Clif Bar.  Maybe I should switch it up a bit this time.  I'm not going to like getting out of bed so early. :-(

My October got pretty screwed up.  I actually trained more in September...  Anyway, Oct. totals for me were:

Bike:29h 05m 28s  - 316.34 Mi
Run:18h 24m 23s  - 144.34 Mi
Swim:11h 10m  - 32677.12 M


The bike includes a lot of trainer time.

As for race morning breakfast, I don't eat a whole lot.  A half a bagel with almond butter, some sports drink, a gel before the swim.  If I ate 1500 calories I'd be puking halfway through the swim.  And I have no idea what a Southwestern roll is, but I suspect it would have the same effect on me.  Daniel's post definitely illustrates one thing: what works for one will not necessarily work for another.

Yeah, uhm, I like those Southwestern roles. For lunch. When I want to have heartburn for a few hours. They are delicious but I would have some interesting GI issues if I took those and did some exercise.

I suspect no one's going to raise their hand, but I'm just a-wondering. Anybody plan on running w/a "discrete" MP3 player?

It sure seems like it's going to be REALLY quiet on the run course, everyone is going to be spread out.  It gets quiet enough on a M-Dot run and that's 2-3 times more people.  Can anyone who has seen this race on the run, comment?

I'm not even considering it. I don't run with one, I don't bike with one and have no use for one on the course. Well, in all honestly I have no use for one other than on the rollers for rides over about an hour.

When I'm suffering, I can't stand to have music in my ears.  Drives me nuts.  I do use an iPod for some of my easy runs, but for speedwork and long hard runs, no way.  So no, I won't be using one on race day.

I agree with others here.  I don't swim, bike, or run with an IPOD.  It is to distracting for me.  If it helps you go for it.  But for me it is to distracting and like someone else says really distracting when I am pushing a hard effort.

Not racing this year BUT from last year---no ipod/mp3 for me but definitely saw a few on the run course---some trying to be tuck them under hats/visors others with them out in the open...then there was the girl with the mom/friend (not sure who she was) "pacing" her on a bike with a radio strapped to it..........

Yeah it does get pretty quiet out there---especially through the park near the water---the "end" part of the out/back is into/through a park and it gets quiet and dark there before sunset even---lots of trees/shade...

swim 31600 yards - 13:53 hours
bike 714.3 miles - 34:33 hours - mostly on a trainer to simulate aero position
run - 129 miles - 17:01 hours - all roadwork - i hate treadmills. 

oh - and i am in agreement with everyone else - no IPOD for me.  can't stand them.

Wow DG, that's pretty nice.  That makes me all the more concerned that my bike is sitting next to the fireplace with handlebar tape falling off and a flat tire that's repeating and not been resolved...

Why do you need to be on a trainer to be in aero position?

Hmmm. Are MP3 players allowed? I'm not seeing anything on that. I guess now that I asked, I'm thinking maybe it's not a bad idea.

good question - i have a lot of hilly areas to ride in my area and i wanted to simulate the flat race course and the aero position.  i am not in aero when i am climbing.

Daniel - are you concerned about the wheels against the wind. i had heard somewhere that the wind was so strong that folks were having problems with those disc type wheels.  the cross winds were causing havoc with the disc wheels. 

i don't know....just wondering....

I did B2B last year with a 808 up front and wheel cover/PT wheel on the back without any problems!!!  I've also used that combo on some race days with much stronger winds then at B2B without a problem....I wouldn't even give it a thought.

Seeing all of your numbers, I confess I've been feeling really crappy about mine. This morning however, I tallied mine & now I'm feeling OK. Thought I'd share:

September
Bike: 840m (325 of which were commuting to/from work)
Run:  119.5m

October
Bike: 529m (160 commuting) 
Run: 67.5m 

Due to logistics, I swim intermittently. OK, now I'm hopping on board w/everyone else: Let' get it on!
