Expert 1010 Greer, SC | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread ryceelliott - 2010-07-24 7:39 AM Massive bummer!! It is official, the left knee is not happy and is demanding some time off. This weekends training is shot, I'm going to try some light running on Monday, but the long ride tomorrow is out. That will leave just one long ride before the race to make sure that nutrition is nailed down and ready. Definitely get that knee better. I can certainly relate. I had some kind of calf injury about a week and a half ago. All I could do early in the week was swim. During the middle, I threw in some light biking and am now back to running. Ice and Advil are my new best friends. |

Member 56 Little Rock, AR | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread Brick today. 75 mile ride -- 4 hours, 37 minutes 6 mile run -- 1 hour, 8 minutes Big confidence booster today. Heat index of 108 with the sun blistering, and still managed to get my full workout in. Feeling great. Edited by BenDoesLife 2010-07-24 7:41 PM |

Expert 1146 Johns Creek, Georgia | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread Oh, for it to be in the 80's on race day, how I pray! All this heat training would be a bonus. Good job out there folks on a hot day! |

Expert 1010 Greer, SC | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread Nice job guys. I wimped out. I only got in 83. It was just too hot and I didn't feel it was safe. It was 87 when I started and 103 when I finished (110 heat index). I couldn't consume enough water!! I'll get my run it later today when it cools down into the upper 90's. I am happy that my legs felt pretty good though. |

Elite 3658 Roswell, GA | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread cchurch40 - 2010-07-26 2:59 PM Hello All, How fast are you? Speedsuits are faster, but they aren't necessary. You might save 2-5 minutes with a speedsuit, but you could hurry through the transitions and save that much. hopefully there are some fish on here who will chime in, but I would bet tri shorts and a shave would get a guy pretty close to the speedsuit. I would be careful wearing a shirt that has pockets or is baggie. |

Extreme Veteran 331 Latonia, Kentucky (near Cincinnati) | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread Broke down and got the Xterra speed suit. Gonna do a Olympic this weekend as a "dress rehearsal" for THE RACE, just to get my head on straight. I'll get a feel for the suit and capture "the mood". Should be interesting. Putting up some huge numbers this month that may be a personal record. It's getting kinda crazy. |

| 2 | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread Thanks for the advise. Swimming is probably my worst event of the 3. I probably will just do it in tri shorts if the savings is only a few minutes. my tri shirt is a very silky tight black tank that I believe is meant to make the swimmer faster. probably beter than shaving my entire chest, for me a big job. legs will probably have to get shaved, never did it before but it seems all the serious athletes do it. |

Expert 708 work, road, bike, pool | Subject: RE: Ironman Louisville : Official Thread 5 weeks out. I have a question on what i should do this weekend. there is a century ride on sunday in my area. I am planed to do a 5:45 ride that should be about a 108 miler for me on saturday and on sunday Im supposed to do a 4 HR 1 HR brick (74 miles and 7 miles). should i do the brick on saturday and do the century plus some on sunday or do the long ride saturday and then do the 70 mile option at the century ride and a 7 mile brick? Im also supposed to do a 3800 swim sunday. |

Typically the training plans I've seen / use have a long ride and ~4-8 mile brick run Saturday, and long run on Sunday with either some swimming or biking. When is your long run? I've never thought of following my long Sat ride with a medium/long brick on Sunday. I don't know what the rest of your week looks like but it sounds like a plan with a heavy focus on the bike. |
