Expert 950    Ann Arbor |  Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official ThreadWow, I think I might be the only person going into this sans plan. Well, I will be in a few weeks once Jorge's winter cycling program ends. |

Regular 69 Silver Spring, Maryland | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread I'm doing the Ironfit 30 week plan. Have been a little short on training duration so far but this is my busy time of year for work. Am getting more excited daily, can't wait for spring to arrive. |

Veteran 274 State College, PA | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread 24 weeks. I started my 24 week plan today, with a rest day. Not a very auspicious way of starting. I'm using the level 4 of Fitzgerald's Ironman training plans as a base. I intend to keep the weekly intent of the workouts the same but I'll have to move the daily workouts around to deal with my work schedule. Still dealing with some knee issues from my skiing accident last month. Its not really affecting any of my workouts but I still have a major overall lack of lateral stability/strength in it. I have an appointment later this week with medical to evaluate the need for physical therapy. |

| Expert 950 Ann Arbor | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread I am chomping at the bit for the winter weather to end so I can finally log some long bike miles. I'm headed to Florida for spring break in 2 weeks with about a dozen of my teammates. Some of us plan to ride as much as we can while we're there. |

| Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread Okay, maybe we'll push the "BT Mirror Lake Meeting" back to late-morning Friday. I think we have a little time to fine-tune the exact time. Hey, it's 15 degrees in Lake Placid right now! It's warming up!! |

Champion 19812 MA | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread Last three Ironman's I've done we have had a standard time to meet up at swim in the days leading up the race. The day that most folks make it is 2 days before the race which would be Friday. I'll likely swim Thursday and Friday morning. I like to meet and visit first then swim. The BT swim meet ups is often the only time we actually meet some of our on line friends. We have in the past organized meals as well. Something like everyone interested meet at Lake Placid Brew Pub day after the race at noon. |

Master 1410 White Plains NY | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread I got outside yesterday on the bike for over 2 hours. It was 38 degrees with some wind. Not too bad. I was mostly warm, except for my feet which were solid blocks of concrete by the end of the ride. Not the fastest ride, but my sit bones had no issues and climbing hills wasn't that hard for the first outdoor ride. I felt strongest by the end. I guess I have had a good transition from 6 weeks of indoor trainer to outdoors this year. Unfortunately full time out doors riding is 6 weeks away still  Fingers crossed it continues to get warmer and stays dry from here on out! |

Champion 19812 MA | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread I've been looking for the elevation gain on the IMLP bike course. I've seen various numbers thrown around. Here on BT the route tracker is often way off. I've done some google searching and haven't found it. Anyone know? |

I'll take it. |

I did a ride in Nevada this week that I climbed 2600 feet in 16-17 miles and trying to do a little comparison. |
