Champion  6962      Atlanta, Ga |  Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Threadgopennstate - 2010-01-22 12:23 PM One more thing to add to this. Even though you drop off your transition bags & bike the day before the race, you can access everything race morning. And x2 to the Zip-lock bags. It may rain overnight as well as during the race. Special needs you do not drop off until race morning. It is down past the swim start. I hung up my morning clothes bag with all my stuff in it, walked to SN to drop my bags with only my wetsuit, cap & goggles. It was kind of a far walk on the road with bare feet. This year I will either walk up & drop my SN bags before I put my shoes in my morning clothes bag, or I will buy a cheap pair of flip flops and ditch them at the swim start. The bolded above may not be true. Now that WTC has all of the IM races they have implemented a rule that you cannot access your Transition bags after you drop them off the night before. I know at IM KY and IM FL this was the case. Just read the rules when the athlete guide comes out. It's a minor detail really. |

My advice, if you're a fast swimmer and can hang on to a quick clip for the first 25%, take off like a bat outta hell. It thins out signficantly after the first turn-around. If you're not as strong and are willing to sacrifice a minute or two, just hang back. In 90 seconds, a lot of people are already 100 yards down the lake. 90 seconds if you're an average AGer....not so much time if it will make your day better. |

Wow. It's funny, cause it seems like half of the triathletes I know on Long Island are doing LP. The fact that 3,076 are signed up just confirms that there are A Lot indeed signed up! This motivates me more to make sure I get in the pool. Hmmm... last year 2258 finishers. This year, potentially, 3,076. That's only an 818 increase or ...26.5% increase!!!! |

Jenn what would you classify as a "quick clip" 1:15 per 100 or faster? |

Expert 1023 Malvern, England | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread Jenn That is fantastic advice, thank you! In 2007 it was OK but I still got bashed about a bit and it was, obviously very crowded and this year I would love to stay out of trouble as much as I can, especially with increased numbers. I swam a 1:07 and am hoping for a 1:05 - do you think I'd be OK at the front to try and do what you suggest? I guess it's not just how many sub 1:00 swimmers are there but also how many macho slower swimmers place themselves up front even though they will do a much slower time |

| Master 1572 PA | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread tasr - 2010-01-27 4:51 PM Mmmm. Not sure. For me it's whatever feels hard. My first couple hundred was probably the RPE of my 1:15/100 pool pace. And then I'm guessing my RPE was probably around 1:20/100 pool pace for a good while thereafter, like at least another 500. As it got less crowded I backed it off to easy pace and just chilled out and enjoyed it the rest of the swim.But dude, don't take my advice, you had a faster swim than I did! You obviously nailed it! Jackjack...1:07, yeah, i say go for it. I started towards the right though. I have no interest in starting in the middle. I'll swim the extra 25 yards on an angle to cut in closer to the turn around.gopennstate - 2010-01-27 2:48 PM versed2mg - 2010-01-27 2:20 PM as of january 1st there are 3076 participants in IMLP 2010... thats gonna hurt in the start!!!

| Master 2468 Muskego, Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread Anyone using the Lake Placid Spinervals DVD? Love it? Hate it? There's no way I can take a training trip to LP to check out the course so I was wondering if this would be a good representation of the course. Any feedback or options are appreciated....as always. |
