Ironman Florida : Official Thread (Page 33)

At FL the volunteers are kind of unorgainzed.  If you are a nurse you most certainly can work the med tent (I was the doc there from 4pm til midnight in 2007)  Day before the race go over to themed tent and volunteer.  They will love you.  Try and sign up on line and go to the volunteer meeting if possible

I'm also hoping and praying for calm water at IMFL this year.

 This will be a busy training weekend for a lot of us. Stay safe and have a great weekend.

T-SHIRTS:
Folks, ABSOLUTE LAST CHANCE...if you have not yet paid or mailed your check and told me that you mailed your check, you're about to get left out. We have to order it and I'm sending it to Jay on Friday when I get to DC for the Army 10-miler.  If I was rich, I could vouch for you if you said you wanted a t-shirt.  I've PM'd everyone, and the emails aren't in my outbox, so you've received it.  We can't hold out for a couple of folks if we want these made and mailed prior to race day.  That's all! For those who have paid, THANKS!

Is anyone else using Tribike Transport? I just coughed up $300 to have my bike and gear bag shipped down.  Perhaps I will try and figure out a total cost of this IM and see how much it costs per mile over the entire race.  Any guesses?

Happy training, stay healthy, strong and focused! Taper is comin soon!

Only one more workout today and the weekend is over! Yes! Rest day on Monday.

2.4 mile swim on Thursday, 8 run and travel on Friday, 102 bike (hilly course) followed by a 4 mile run on Saturday. Sunday- 3hour run completed. One more medium swim workout and I'm done for the day. Yipee.

Hubby told me this morning he thinks I'm ready for the IM. That just made my day! What would we do without our support crews?

bleh. had a crummy ride today - new bike fit needs to be tweaked for sure.  Did have a nice long run on Thurs. but today was crappy - one of the "what did I get myself into" kinda days....tomorrow is a brand new day.

heh...I sweated off 13# on a 90mile ride a few weeks ago.  frightening I know.  I took in 160 oz today.  I upped my sodium intake and its helped with the fluid shifts a LOT.  I could give you a dissertation on this.......

It can't possibly be this hot 11/7.......but I supposed you and I will be well prepared if it is.  We should go do IMChina. 

Good Training weekend... 16 mile run on Sat and a 1 hour river swim.  Rode 125 hilly miles today.  I will be glad when 11/7 finally gets here (and so will my wife)

Everyone have a great week!

More rain = 6 hours on the "drainer" today........DAMN!

33 Days 2 hours 24 minutes!!!!!! 

DUDE - 6 hours on the trainer OMG. I need 4 a few weeks ago and was ready for a padded room.

This was recovery week for me, so I'm feeling great except the little things such as planter fasciitis and a pulled muscle in my neck J
