Veteran 176   Sun Prairie, WI |  Subject: RE: Ironman Wisconsin : Official Threadmndiver - 2009-09-04 3:31 PM I'm not so sure swim socks are legal. I'm pretty sure they are not. Might want to look into those first. I was thinking about wearing them for High Cliff and emailed USAT. They are USAT legal now (weren't last year), but individual race directors were allowed to say "no", or something like that. Might just skip it. No need for the hassle. |

Expert 868 CALEDONIA/MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN | Subject: RE: Ironman Wisconsin : Official Thread Hey prospective Ironman Wisconsin Finishers!!! I did this event in 07 and it was very well done. The concern about the rock on the exit. No problem. There is a rubber mat at the finish, and people do hoist you out to land. As far as the start. Just get in the water, you'll be glad you did. The time in the water goes fast, and with a wetsuit, it is no big deal. You hardly use any energy while waiting. Have a great race! We lucked out at Ironman Louisville with great weather and it looks like you will have good weather too. Go for it!!! Peace, ~Sam |

Master 1303 Mishicot, Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Ironman Wisconsin : Official Thread So I did my stupid taper behavior of the season. I was pounding some nails in and hit my thumb dead on on the nail. Nice and black and blue, swollen and throbbing. So much for finding a "safe" taper project to do. |

If it doesn't "propel you forward or injure other athletes" it's fair game. Just wanted to share in case anyone smashes a foot between now and next Sunday  Good to know...I seem to get ALL the injuries. The PF is coming back. ugh, I am off to the ART guy for some pain. Wish me luck. Do you want to meet me in T2, with a flask of bourbon and we can boot up and walk a long, painful, pathetic marathon together??? Could be fun! |

Pro 4608 Brooklyn, NY | Subject: RE: Ironman Wisconsin : Official Thread mndiver - 2009-09-04 3:32 PM If it's like that I may not do some pre-swims in the lake. No sense risking GI distress until the big day. I'll still show up at 8:00 on friday though. I swam in major pea soup in Monona, actually the beach was closed and I was am out of town moron and didn't know. And it didn't give me the crapfits, but my throat was on fire for days. The good news is that it doesn't hit until several hours later. Since I'm a big fat DNF I can even get the crapfits and be fine Yummy. Bring it on. |

Pro 4608 Brooklyn, NY | Subject: RE: Ironman Wisconsin : Official Thread I dropped my bike off for Tribike Transport shipping today on crutches with my friend Debbie carrying my gear bag and pushing the bike. The guys at the shop were a little perplexed, I think they thought I was insane. It could have been one of the most depressing moments of my life but my friend made it easy. We spent 12 hours together eating, shopping, picking up my walker boot, drinking, eating and drinking some more. Not having to train is certainly giving me more free time See you all in Madtown. I'm arriving Tuesday and expect to be entertained   |

Pro 4608 Brooklyn, NY | Subject: RE: Ironman Wisconsin : Official Thread Bad juju? I think a big benefit of having an almost certain DNF coming my way is that I can forget all the pre-race superstition and go hog wild at the expo buying IMWI gear. It's not like it's going to bring even further bad luck right? |

Extreme Veteran 477 | Subject: RE: Ironman Wisconsin : Official Thread Let's say the weather forecast stays what it says right now...68 and showers. What do you wear? I have been planning to wear my tri shorts and top. Would you just add arm warmers for the bike and possibly a jacket for the run...maybe a jacket for both? What about a long sleeved Under Armour under the tri top...would that be okay under the wetsuit? 68 really isn't that cool...but with rain...it is such a long time to be wet and cool. I know the forecast can/will change but it is at least a possibility I need to prepare for. |
