Ironman Coeur d'Alene : Official Thread (Page 22)

I'll be at the moose statue at 7:30 AM on Thurs

I'll be there for the swim Thursday and Probably Friday.  In CDA already right now.  Anyone else here already?

Flyboy, I'd love to drive the bike course with you.. I'll pm you.

Did we decide on a swim time for Friday?  I can do 7:30 or 8:30 whatever works for everybody else.  I'll have a Zoot wetsuit on and I'll wear a blue Chicago Cubs hat until we get ready to into the water. 

It sounds like there is an early group and late group on Friday.  I'm swimming at 8:30, look for the red-head in the sleeveless Promotion wetsuit with green trim.

I swam in CDA last night in my sleeveless wetsuit.  The water felt real good.  IMO this will be the warmest IMCDA swim ever. 

For those worried about the cold water I would say that I saw lots of kids playing in the lake last night without wetsuits.  You're about to do an Ironman.  You're tougher than a 5 year old in a swim diaper aren't you?

On the bike and run - yes. 

Good Luck to all the CDA'ers out there.  I can't believe I've been sitting on my tail a year already.  Guess I need to sign up again.

Tip:  If you have someone meeting you at the finish line give them your flip flops.  They will be worth three times their weight in gold when your done.

Have fun and enjoy the catered workout!

I have never had to produce this number at athlete check-in (at least at WI), and I don't have it with me this time.  Should be no problems

I've never seen anyone needing it.  If they assigned you a number they must have you as being registered.

I think we're looking at rain for race day.  We got poured on yesterday when we rode the course!

Water temp is perfect, and as long as it's dry, the air temperature is perfect as well.  I didn't beleive that I'd need arm warmers, but I had to buy some today!

I forgot that my wetsuit was packed with my tribiketransport gear bag so couldn't meet up at the 7:30 swim.  I swam at 1:30 PM and it was still pretty choppy.  Hope to see some of you Fri morning.   Pro sightings so far include Heather Fuhr, PNB, Michael Lovato, and Jim Bonney.  Word is that Desiree Ficker is racing but no visual yet!

I am going to be a little late to the 8:30 Friday swim as I need to get my wetsuit from Tri Bike.  I don't think they open until 8:30.  I'll try and catch up with everybody.

I am liking the vibe in town.  See everyone for a little swim tomorrow!  I'll be there at 8:30 and will be wearing a BT shirt. 

I'll plan to swim at 7:30 (look for us in BT shirts) and hang around for a little while at 8:30.
