IM Wisconsin Training Begins (Page 4)

I put it on my iPod today.  Nice motivation.  I'm looking forward to the bike and run as well.  Thanks!

Starting to "ratchet up" the training preparing for Ironman Wisconsin.  I am enjoying knowing that I won't have to wait till November (when I did IMFL) to do my next Ironman.  I can hardly wait!!!

As long as you and the bike are ok (generally speaking), that's a good thing.  Was it just a freak fall?

I had a tough bike this weekend.  I did a 45 mile roadie ride and then did a 2 hr hard interval workout directly afterwards.  I was fighting off a BONK for the last 5-6 miles.  Never good!  Gotta work on my nutrition. 

12 more weeks!  Can you believe it?

Mike - glad to hear there wasn't any major damage to you or the bike.  I had some cars pull out in front of me yesterday that were too close for comfort for me - I'd hate to see anyone have to drop out at this point.

12 weeks out.  Kind of great and scary all at the same time.

80 days....Guess I better start training.  I hear the bike course is real easy.

2 halfs under your belt already?  You're training...it might not be focused completely on IMWI, but you've been training.

It's late October right?  And it's only 140.6 miles....can't be that hard...right?  Anything they give you 17 hrs to do is possible right

80 days...Wow...nervous time baby!

No time to be nervous.  We will own that course.  We are Ironmen!

Marvarnett, I think it's time to post some ride ideas for your weekend out, right?!

 I've got the bikes from July 1st until the 3rd. 

Anyone want to ride the course this weekend?

Will have groups of various speeds.

I started an entire thread but nobody loved me!  Sad Dan...very Sad Dan.

Here is the jist: 

This is a semi-formal invitation to ride the IM MOO course on Sunday, July 2nd.

My friend James and I are flying up to do a true preview of the course.  We will be staying with AJFreddy because she is Kick A$$.  Here is the big picture.  We are going to get there on Saturday and will try and get in a swim and short bike that day and maybe the same thing on Monday.  The only thing that is concrete is the bike on Sunday.

Figure we can meet up at 8 in the Park where the start will be.  Since we all will be out of the water in under an hour, this will mimic race day as much as possible.  It's not going to be race pace or anything like that, but a nice group pace line would be nice.  The more the merrier!  Bring your firends and family. 

And being the good Triathletes that we all are, we will be running directly afterwards too...maybe!  Best case, we can make it a 112/4 workout.

So...who's with me?
