Ironman Arizona : Official Thread (Page 22)

cullyatt - 2010-11-08 10:53 AM Question on the Athlete Dinner: I know the little chat after the dinner is required....but how many of you go to the dinner? Just wondering whether I'd be the only one who did not spring for the extra $30-a-pop for family to go. Do you go? Do you bring your family?

The first year I did an Ironman (Lake Placid) I went to the dinner and the "required meeting" afterwards.  It turned out that yes, the food was mundane at best, and the information given at the meeting wasn't anything that was not already covered in the athlete guide.  So the following two years I didn't bother with the dinner or the meeting.  There were no repercussions.  I'm not sure how they can prove you attended or not.

That sounds very cool but how does it work..Im certainly not carrying my cell phone with me during the race..does it follow your race chip???

I just printed out the athlete guide and noticed that the last available time for athlete check in is Friday at 4:00.  WTF?

My flight doesn't land until 11:30.  If I have any delays or transportation issues, that could get interesting.  Why wouldn't you have any available check in times late Friday or even early Saturday?

As the results are made available when you cross the various timing mats on the course it will send those results automatically to the contacts you have setup.

duutri - 2010-11-09 10:09 AM If you have an Apple product there is an app called Pele that does a great job on tracking athletes as well. We tracked 3 friends at IMFL on our phones this weekend. And it worked perfectly.

hockeyhands - 2010-11-12 8:24 AM Yup, that weather sure does look great!  My favorite part is the 0% chance of precipitation through Sunday.  I don't think I've ever seen that on a Massachusetts 10 day forecast.
