Expert 1148 Santa Fe, New Mexico Silver member | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread I'm definitely in for the swim. Helps me keep calm on race morning. I arrive in PCB on Tuesday afternoon late. Haven't rented a car yet. I lucked out last year and my bike case just fit in the trunk with the back seat down.
This month was kind of light - especially in the swim department. Perhaps I should get in the pool. Last week was tough, I pretty much screwed up my previous recovery week, and paid for it last week. I just need to get back in the saddle. Lots of time left eh? Anyone else freak out this morning when they turned the calendar page to October? Right there on the same page, peaking out at the end, is IMFL! I should go ride my bike now. or something. | |

Extreme Veteran 688 | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread I would like to do the swim. I get in Thursday AM. I can't decide if I should have a recovery week this week and train hard the next 2 weeks with a 2 week taper. Or train hard the next 2 weeks with a long gradual taper 3 week taper. Thought anyone? |

I vote option ! because 3 weeks is a long frigging time to taper!!! ALso if you re feeling a bit tired rightnow, and who isn't the following 2 weeks after a recovery week you will feel great |

Regular 173 | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread Socks - 2012-10-01 9:51 AM I will get in on weds. Ok it time to think about BT swims!! Traditionally we have met on the boardwalk at 8am thursday and friday. Whacha think? I would love to get in the ocean before the race--yes, I'm on the seacoast, but we're talking Atlantic here |
And a group would make me feel more comfortable!| 2012-10-01 7:37 PM in reply to: #4434780 |

Member 186 | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread MRDAVIDALEXANDER - 2012-10-01 6:58 PM I really can't give you a great answer with just that info. But without asking you a million questions I will assume a few things. You have been training moderately for several months, you have a good base, you are a bit tired from all the training but not exhausted, you have done several long rides and long runs, you are "almost" getting adequate sleep and you have a few 70.3 races under your belt. Depending on how hard you have been hitting it for the last 5 or 6 days I would take a full day off and then hit it HARD for a week. If your not that tired hit it hard now for a few days, rest a day and then hit it again. Personally I prefer a peak and then a very gradual decrease in volume over 3 or even 4 weeks. Everybody is different so trust your body. I would like to do the swim. I get in Thursday AM. I can't decide if I should have a recovery week this week and train hard the next 2 weeks with a 2 week taper. Or train hard the next 2 weeks with a long gradual taper 3 week taper. Thought anyone? |

| Veteran 867 Vicksburg | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread I may be up for the kids trick or treat also. My wife is going to wait to see how my daughter is doing in school before she takes her out of school for 3 days. They may come down on Friday so I will let y'all know as time gets closer. I also will have 5 training partners down with me that are doing the race. We will definitely be up for cruising the course and shooting the bull. Two of them are members of his post, I'll warn you know thee are slow ; ) |

New user 82 Gallatin, TN | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread Rough patch. Ankle bruise. Looks like I have to bag a few runs. Substituting some biking - and a little worried about the run at this point. |

| Member 35 | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread My wife and I were just talking about the trick or treating scenario. The one thing I do know is that you don't want peewee anywhere around your kids and trick or treating. He'll eat all of their candy. |

Master 1704 Charlotte | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread I am up for a swim but probably not until Friday morning. We are driving to from NC to Navarre (near Pensacola) so my daughter can trick or treat with her cousins on Halloween. After a quick visit with the brother-in-law, we will head over to PCB on Thursday morning but highly doubt I will get there in time for an AM swim Thursday.

Expert 1164 Roswell, GA | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread Ill be arriving Wednesday afternoon and hope to make the swim on Thursday. I actually had a bit of a trail running accident on Sunday and gashed my shin up pretty good. Though I dont think anything is broken, I am black and blue like you wouldnt believe. Going to try and test some running today, but honestly I am not feeling too optimistic about it. |

Expert 1164 Roswell, GA | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread Socks - 2012-10-02 9:13 AM 5-Get tinted goggles. Across the top of the swim on race day the sun will be DIRECTLY in your face and clear goggles will not cut it Just to add to this, after doing an ocean swim on site last month, I went out and bought some polarized, tinted lenses. Those have really helped to cut back on the glare of the sun, and glare in the water. You can definitely see better with something like that. |
