Ironman Arizona : Official Thread (Page 28)

Mirg #1092

I'll be wearing a DURAPULSE jersey and tri shorts on the bike and a full DURAPULSE tri kit on the run. Have a great race everybody!

I will be arriving Tuesday afternoon, with family coming in on Thursday night.  If anyone is interested in a get together let me know.  [email protected]

Taper is so weird, after doing all the work feel like I'm fading into nothing now   Know it's not happening but hate that feeling.

Will be sporting my Tron race suit, so hard to miss.

Here's a list of bib numbers as posted in this thread. Please verify yours if it's in this list and feel free to copy/paste this into another post to keep it up to date. Also, if we're going to have people out there stalking us I thought it might be helpful if they knew what we would be wearing (if you want to)...up to you.

OK, let me try this and see if it formats in here OK.  I may have to fiddle with things to get it to work correctly:

I also included my Excel file as an attachment.  If there are any corrections or additions, or I have your name incorrect, just say so and I'll fix it.  I sorted it by gender and then bib number (age grouping).

I'll try to look for as many of you as I can on race day, but it's such a crap shoot that I can't promise much.  I'll get as many pictures as I can if I can spot you.  Or if you happen to see me, give a yell!  I'm 63 years old, I've got a shaved head and both arms are loaded with pinup girl tattoos.

Added two more...dieathlon and Javamom from the Arizona local forum here.

Please ADD #836  Female, tri fit, 50-54,  Mary Ellen   Wearing Landis Tri Club green!!! I'll keep an eye out for you!

Got it....thanks for the updates!  It'll be a nightmare trying to spot everyone, but with some large digital capacity in my camera and lots of batteries, I'll just take thousands of shots and weed through them for any BT-ers.  Last year I was fairly lucky at got shots of at least 15 of you....hoping for better luck this year.  I'll try and be on the open flat dirt section of the run course, after it leaves transition and before the first aid station, I think it's just a couple miles out.

Got it...thanks Brittany!  That should be easy to spot, I'll be looking for you.  BTW, last year I stationed myself on the bike course, just as you leave town and the crowds start thinning out.  There is a median section to the road and most times I found it convenient to stand on the median as I could catch riders coming both ways.  I hope to set the camera up on a tripod as well, so if you see me when you go by, give a wave and a yell.

Here's the latest update:

please add me

1396    M    35-39    Nick     Blazeman tri jersey

Last "long-ish" ride today (50).  I'm glad I did it.  I needed the confidence boost.  90 min run tomorrow and a 45min swim.  Then it's coast till next Sun.

Got you in there Nick!  Here's the latest update:

I did a 2.5 OWS today and got a huge confidence boost after finishing in 1:06. That was the first time I've covered the distance straight without stopping. All my other long swim sets have been broken up by 1K or 2K with :30RI's. I'm hoping that I can shave a couple of minutes off with a few thousand feet to follow. After the swim my team-mates and I rode just over 50 miles on the course. Coming down the Beeline was super fast but we had a pretty strong headwind going back up.Other than that, conditions were perfect. Let's hope we're that luck next weekend.

I was supposed to ride 35 today but I got on the bike and noticed in the first mile that one of my spokes was broken. My wheel was a bit damaged in a crash back in June and it's been out of true a few times since then so my guy at our LBS said he was doubtful that it would hold if they fixed it. Ended up springing for a whole new wheel set that is a lot lighter and more aero than my current set.

Not happy about the $$ for the new wheel set but happy it happened now rather than next Sunday! 

Nice!  Sounds like you had a good speedy swim pace.  You'll definitely benefit from catching a draft if you can hook up with a group in your pace range.  I hope the bike conditions are better than they were last year with those gusty winds and hard rain squalls.  Let's cross our fingers that you'll have perfect conditions!
