Regarding lodging: Has anyone ever stayed in the camping area? I haven't called yet but that sounds like fun to me! My buddy has camped and we are planning on doing it again. He said it is pretty nice. Nuttin' fancy of course but... |

| Regular 1025 | Subject: RE: Timberman - Half Iron : Official Thread The camping at Gunstock is great....You'll also be able to take the shuttle from there on Race Morning, very easy in/out of Ellacoya. S'mores and music around the campfire each night, too. Of course, you gotta like camping  |

Nothing like an ice cold beer after a race. If I get organized enough and I have the time, I'll brew 5 gallons of some summer wheat beer in time for the race. Thats roughly 24 champagne bottles worth of beer....or almost a 50 pack...I think that should cover everybody? |

Pro 4828 The Land of Ice and Snow | Subject: RE: Timberman - Half Iron : Official Thread How is everyone doing?? I am still mucking around on my own, training lots but with no particular structure. I have decided that a coach is too much $$$ (1/3 of a Cervelo!!!!) so I'm thinking of using one of the plans here on BT. What are you guys doing about training plans? |

As far as training plans go, I have been loosely following an Olympic plan on here (minus the running because of IT band problems) I am torn between "Beginner HIM" and "20 Week HIM" plans on here. I uploaded the Beginner plan last night, since initially I thought the 20 week had too much volume, but I reviewed it again this morning and it wasn't as bad as I thought. Whatever I do I need to figure it out soon! |

Pro 4828 The Land of Ice and Snow | Subject: RE: Timberman - Half Iron : Official Thread I really have to get my butt in gear and check out the training plans.........to be honest I am afraid that I will NOT enjoy actually following a plan. I love to train but like to decide what to do each day based on a whim. But I know this is not going to serve me well in the end. |

Expert 1060 Weymouth, MA | Subject: RE: Timberman - Half Iron : Official Thread Seth, that's awesome! I will definitely be heading up to NH to ride the course at least once. I plan on making a long weekend sometime and camping at Ellacoya to swim, bike, run parts of the course. I have uploaded the 20 week HIM plan and will follow that. I backed in from race day until June 15th though due to a sprint in mid June (Hyannis). I'll be training with a plan I made for base in April, speed for May and early June, and then immediately after the sprint start following the 20 week plan. If we all use the 20-week plan maybe we can all nag each other and keep each other honest by following the plan together... |
