Ya think!  I woke up the other morning on my CT with drool all down my front tire.

Whoaaa, I called dibs first on those french manicured piggies

I would not worry about it too much.  I volunteer as a Lifeguard in 08’ and was not contacted until two week out from the race.  Didn’t get very much info then as well.  I think they wait until who show up to really get into the details of the assignments.   

 

Thank for volunteering! 

I will be the guy ahead of gopennstate on the swim.  That’s Jenn with 2 N’s.

You need to work on that nutrition and stay hydrated.   

gopennstate - 2010-01-04 5:00 PM

tasr - 2010-01-04 5:09 PM

Okay then.  So Jenn (with two N's) is gonna lead us into the whirlpool.  James is gonna grab onto her pink-painted piggies.  Mike is gonna grab onto Jame's stinky old-man feet. And I'm gonna grab onto Mike's hairy oink oinks.  Cool.  It's a plan   We'll make a human chain and blast right through that whirlpool!! We'll be the BT Peloton!!

It's on Like   IMLP Training has Commenced!!

gopennstate - 2010-01-05 3:42 PM shhhhhh, my money is on Daremo for first BTer out of the water.actually, it's on the slippery, skinny little fishies named jazz and jorge.

^^^ James (Tasr) is on the Computrainer right now.  Aside from an occasional bathroom break, he'll likely be on the CT to the wee hours of the morning when he passes out and his wife then changes the Saline IV Bags.  So he'll probably answer you tomorrow after he 'comes to'.  That boy old man is going to Kona.  I'd bet money on it.

Mcluvin22 - 2010-01-05 6:08 PM Tasr I see that you have completed IMLP before and finished with a great time. What was your time on the bike? I am wondering how much time I should be spending on the bike during base to make sure my legs are strong for the climb back into LP? I participated in a training camp in LP this summer and that long climb was rough. It got to the point that I was talking out loud to myself (pretty funny). The funniest part about it was that someone was starting to ride up alongside of me which I didn't realize and caught me mid sentence. His encouraging words helped, but it was embarrassing.

Oh, I have also been in the gym working out my legs a couple of times a week to help develop more strength too.
Thanks

PennState is absolutely correct.



 

I went 5:36 on the bike at LP.  IMO doing hills training is really going to help you.  Long low-medium 6-8% grade of 3-4 mile is a good workout for LP.  Throw is a couple of short 1/4-1/2 mile 10-13% grades would be a bonus.
