Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread (Page 21)

Yeah, yeah…..KQ 10:30 the goal.  Win AG the dream.  Beating you, well the Dream of dreams. 

I need to go back to quietly training.

Forget

Can’t stop think about the LP bike course.  What a course!!! 

I think my favorite part those first few steep hills.  Get the HR up and the sweat to start beading.  The second favorite part is the turn out of Jay and that steep little section.  Make me what to grab the top and pull it up to make it steeper. 

My least favorite part is the Haselton Rd out and back.  I really don’t know why.  Maybe b/c seen everybody.  

Hey was http://www.ironmanusa.com/ web site was changed?

LP 2009 was my second Ironman distance.  1^st was the original course back in 86’.  I KQ at the Windward HIM in Kaneohe, HI and didn’t go b/c of funds.  So I join in with a group of 10 guys to do the original course on Oahu.  We had to have our own support vehicle and medic.  I finished and my support team was completely wasted.  They were all Army buddies. 

I see your point/s.  Although I don’t subscribe it’s just math or science.  I believe it’s a lot more and a LOT of heart.  I do believe you still have to train hard nothing getting around that, but there are plenty of miracles in this sport.  I am one, without divulging.   

You know DC you are going to do a lot better than you think. 

I had a drill sergeant tell me about losing your virginity, one time.  Basically it was take the twenty out of your right hand place it in the other, then…..Wait wrong use of context.

Wait I have tried to add a more favorable content to this thread.  Check some of the more recent post. 

I am sure IMLP will still out do any flat landers.

You know what, James. You are right. Shame on me for forgetting the own IM miracle I was witness to. A forty something year old mother from Greenwich, CT, who overcame a skiing accident in 1972 that nearly killed her and almost left her paralyzed who made it to the Ironman in Kona in 1984 and set an AG record. I am nothing compared to her, I would be nothing if it wasn't for her. I love you, Mom. ..ok, smack talk back on.

God bless your mom Bryan!

How funny would it be if Jorge through down a 9:19 ... anyway,

I'm gonna start a new Category: BT Ironman Virgin Category.   I'm gonna thrown down the gauntlet and predict I will take 3rd in this Catergory.  That's right, I'm going to Podium it baby!!  Any questions?  I didn't think so

That just reminded me of that scene from Biloxi Blues!  You know the scene

bryancd - 2009-12-16 2:40 PM Times won't matter as the courses are so different. Overall placing and AG placing will determine who is King of the IM's. Right now, there is ONE person doing this race that I think has a very legitimate shot at beating my 35th OA and 3rd in the AG. Anybody want to take a guess?

What about Jorge, Bryan you going to hurt his feeling cause he is not inculded. 

No hard feelings at all, it is all good old fun and everything is fair game, after all it is just smack talk with our crazy uncle! Besides, Bryan is correct, it is impossible to have high expectations, throw a big talk and to be able to deliver by performing well at the ironman distance in your rookie year. I mean, it is not like any AGer can prepare by doing the adequate training for him/her, have realistic expectations and throw in a perfect executed race on your IM debut getting to the big island on your very 1s try, that is just CRAZY talk... unless you are ummmm Bryan

Jorge, it’s all good but just incase there is DC BT Ironman Virgin Category if you’re interested.
