Ironman Wisconsin : Official Thread (Page 22)

Last year they ran out of tickets by the time I went through registration.  Wanted to buy an extra for my wife.  Had to wait until about 7:00 when they started selling them again the night of.  I would advise getting to registration as early as possible to get an extra ticket right away.

If you don't purchase the ticket at time of request/registration, dinner/brunch ticket information won't be known until they open the doors for dinner night, as Bryan mentioned, above.  Sorry.  I was a volunteer last year and tried to help Firstnet911 with my connection at the time to see if I could snag one for him for AmyJo, but couldn't.

Would this be the same girl that I got to help massage some tired, cramping legs right after the finish?

Are you guys really telling me that a couple of teeth really make that much of a difference with climbing?  That going out and changing a cassette would really make that ride easier?

Yes - easier for hill climbing and not wasting as much energy, making you more efficient.

ummm...maybe...but you guys can massage my legs no matter what size cassette I have!!

I mean what size cassette SHE has

Congratulations Linda.  Immpressive achievements.

velcromom - 2009-08-20 9:43 AM Every Wednesday, I do a group ride with a bunch of cyclists (some pro) who are much faster than I am.  My goal is always to see how long I can hang with them  before they drop me.  Today, not only wasn't I last, I averaged 18.7 mph for the entire ride!  31.5 miles, about 1800 feet of climbing!  I feel like I broke a big barrier - just 4 months ago I was only going 14 mph on this ride....WI, here I come!

sorry for the 'brag' - nobody around here 'gets' it, and I had to tell somebody!! 

I "get it".  I do the same thing with my Saturday ride.  Most of my team are trying to qualify for Kona and I am just doing my first IM.  Last week, I made it to the end of the ride with them and didn't get dropped.  Feels amazing eh?  Congratulations on your great ride.  Keep pedalling!!!

Oh, believe me, I do "get it", regarding the statement.  Now, on a different note, I "don't get it", and that's a WHOOOOOOLE different story.

Hmmm...20,000 posts, not gettin' it....cause/effect?

You're insinuating that I'm not getting it is due to posting, but, actually, it's the reverse.

I wished I'd have had sleevless last year also.  Might try and find one this year. 

HA- last year I wore my sleeveless and I was fine...although I bought a full for this year in hopes that I am faster   good thought- huh?

Wow, if reading the athlete guide didn't make it feel more real, I don't know what will!

Getting your bib number.
