Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official ThreadI started my New Years Resolution / LP Diet Saturday ... and I'm down 5 lbs already Anyone else (especially guys in the M35-39 AG) feel free to eat, drink and be merry throughout the New Year. Heck don't worry about training or diet until mid-Spring. We got plenty of time. Really. ![](https://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/images/emoticons/smile.gif) ![](https://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/images/emoticons/smile.gif) ![](https://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/images/emoticons/wink.gif) Question: Has anyone done both the Rhode Island HIM bike course and the IMLP bike course? And if so, how would you compare them? The reason I ask is because I've done the RI HIM course twice and after "watching" the Lake Placid Coach Troy DVD, the courses seem very similar. The first 1/4 of the RI course is flat, but then it's rolling hill after rolling hill, with lots of false flats and long gradual climbs. |
