Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Florida : Official ThreadThe Cube - 2011-04-28 7:11 PM jbjb110.... I did Westpoint last year a week AFTER Rock-n-Rollman Half in Macon. Talk about HOT!! (Bakin in Macon) I hit mile 8 of that run and was done. Needless to say, I had some dead legs for Westpoint but really didnt feel it until the run over the dam...in full sun. Remember the lake was 88 that morning?...crazy!! Cube, Can't believe you did West Point Oly after R&R Half - Macon. Craziness at West Point. On mile 4ish of the run there was a short hill and a paraplegic athlete asked me to push him up. Now, I was already already out of gas, but how could I say no! So I did, he said thanks and wheeled off, and I seriously almost passed out. Managed to drag my rear to the finish line. Dangerous though. I hear some experienced athletes were in the med tent. I am an 47-year old age grouper and don't need to inflict serious bodily harm - I do this for fun. btw, my right glutes tightened up on Tuesday at mile 6 of a 10 mile run. No choice but to lay off running from now until the event. Doing swim and light bike, stretching and Alleve. As if I didn't have enough to worry about for my first HIM!
