Ironman Arizona : Official Thread (Page 44)

First 3 groups of numbers are Pro Men, Pro Women then I think Communtiy Fund. After that, it's by age group.

If you choose "list all participants" and sort by bib number, you can see how many racers in your AG. (450 racing in the 35-39 Men!!!) Also, the higher bib number you are in your AG, the older you are in relation to your AG.

If you are doing the Janus Charity Challenge or did the Community Fund then you will have a low #. 
I got a note back and the lady said we'll figure out which of the two me's will be racing on-site, that it's no biggie, so if I have a choice, I like 101.

514 M40-44, looks like my AG is now the largest in the field. Was 35-39 in 2007 with nearly 500.

My hubby Scott and I had to pack our gear bags to send with our bikes today...here 's a list to make things easier.  We had it in a spreadsheet so we could check things off as we packed.  Thought I'd share this will you all! Swim

very nice of you canadanrn! for that i say thank you.

and rats on so many 40-44 men. however, double rats on no clydesdale division in IMs anymore!!

Weather is looking promising. It's very warm today and this week, getting chilly for a few days over the weekend, and then warming back up into the 70's next week. Hopefully morning temps won't go much below 50.

No, I signed up on site as well last Nov.

It's going to be awesome to watch you beat at least 511 other athletes!  :-)

I'm talking to a couple of BTers to see if we can start and coordinate a IMAZ watching thread.  Hopefully doing it a little earlier than IMFL we will catch all the folks racing so we can watch on line and see your guys progress.

When we get the details worked out I'll post.

I had planned on coming out to volunteer and sign up but things changed so I'll be home instead and next year IMFL for me.

Thanks Kathy! You guys rock.

Thanks Kathy!!!!!!

FYI- I started my IMAZ packing list, if anyone wants a copy, PM your email address and I will gladly share   It may seem crazy, but having a list and checking things off as you pack makes it sooooo much easier!  The less stress you have during taper, the better!

you are either young and male or a charity racer.....or a pro

  Go for 101 that was my # at my first IM

Skarl and I will be doing IMAZ watching thread. More volunteers welcome to help out let us know if you'd have time to help on race day.

We'd love to have all of you racing listed so we can track you.

Please PM me the following:
Bib #
BT Name
Real Name- first and last name
What # IM this is for you
Goal

i recorded it some time ago and have watched it like 10 times. my family hates me putting it back on whenever they go to the toilet or something haha

ive not hear anyone chime in about altitude. do us foreigners need to be concerned?

Well, only if you think 1200 feet above sea level will put you in oxygen debt! I must say, this "issue" being raised is a first!

Yikes. 1200 feet. I may need an o2 tank! where do they have them for sale near the course?

Alright. I just turned my bike in to TriBike Transport...and realizing that this time next week I'll be on a plane is making me a little stir crazy.

The IMAZ Watch thread has officially been started by Kathy on the other side of this forum.

I'm kind of dumbfounded that it's been nearly a year since I registered for this race.

We.Will.Do.This.

I've been obsessing over the weather report for Tempe.

As of today, the extended forecast has W,Th,F with a high of 77 degrees but dropping on Saturday to 74. Hopefully that means the water will be in the mid to upper 60s but the high air temp will be in the low 70s. Wind has been very mild lately.

It's going to be in the 60's fo a high this weekend with lows around 45. Brrr! But warming back up into the mid to high 70's with lows around 50 for the week, all the way up Saturday the 21st as of todays 10-day. Sunny, of course. Winds, well, they will be what they will be, really no good way to forecast that.
