Ironman St. George : Official Thread (Page 21)

Definitely. Consistent sleep has eluded me lately with whacky family schedules and work stuff. I have no problem sleeping when I get the chance though and I'm doing my best to get as much as I can. It's very important, especially during these heavy training times.

lol- that's awesome. Did you get dizzy?

Hey Cody, the plan is to have us all meet downtown near the finish area and then my son will drive the 4 of us, bikes, gear, wetsuits, etc out to the lake. He will wait for us to swim, collect our swim gear, and then drop that vehicle back at the finish line. Trying to make it as easy as possible.

Great job.  Curious to hear your personal time goal. 

March in the books.  Training going pretty much as planned through week 26 of 30.  Feel healthy (for a 41 year old) Another tough weekend.  I did a 20 miler in Friday, 110 on the bike today with a short transition run, and will do a bike/run brick tomorrow.

How did the Texas race go for you?

Damn.  That would put you in the first few AG finishers.  Very cool.   

Great.  It's a dead flat course so not a real prep for IMSG, but it was a nice test for the wheels.

Whew. My peak week is now in the books. I've felt good all the way through this build the last four weeks, but the last few days I've definitely felt the cumulative effect of it all. My long run today was on very tired legs, but I'm healthy (knock on wood) and looking forward to dialing it back to let my body bounce back leading up to the race.

I hope it's going well for you all! Cheers,

Brad

Great feeling I bet.  I'm another week or so out before taper bliss. 

Ok - that sounds great. I really appreciate you letting me tag along. If I get dropped on the bike, I'll just see you on the run somewhere. I'll email you mid-week to get exact meeting time/place.

The rumor raging around St. George is that this will be the last year. Info is from multiple people in high places. The city has the option to have it back next year but as a 70.3. It was fun while it lasted. Can't imagine the city turning down the 70.3. Lots of dollars at stake.

Hey Cody, I'll talk to you mid-week. You won't get dropped. We leave no man or woman(especially woman) behind.

I think that is where it will go if they are planning on another IM. Vegas was in the running with St.G originally when we got the nod.

Interesting to hear the rumour mill, glad I'm getting a shot at the toughest IM in the US before it goes to a 70.3.

On an unrelated note, I'm out with a cold which I picked up Saturday. A few days of rest and then it will be back onto the trainer.
