Ironman Coeur d'Alene : Official Thread (Page 49)

Has anybody else been as unproductive at work as I have been?  Between constantly checking the weather, watching this forum, and going over my packing list a million times.  I might as well have taken off this entire week.

I can't wait to get there.

Mark,

Thanks for posting about the OWS at 7am on Friday.  Can you please tell me the name of the local tri group and if there is a website with more information as I'd like to share it with some of my non-BT friends?

Thanks,

David

Same here!  I think my head's already on the airplane.  My body will catch up on Thursday.

If the forecast holds and it warms up into the 70's and even 80's this week, the water will be at least 58 degrees, maybe a little warmer on race day.  That's warm enough to be tolerable even for those of you coming from warm water climates.  No worries!

That makes me feel better, thank you!

DITTO.  I've put myself in a huge hole trying to finish what I promised my clients I would do.  Yet here I am, reading the posts and checking the weather.   

I am supposed to be actually working at work this week?  I can't focus.

Yep, and I don't even have the added stress of traveling.  Starting to get that "bouncing off the walls" feeling already.  My co-workers were already pretty sure I'm crazy, now they're positive. 

Not a workout but, I believe we are meeting at 1 on Friday to do a drive of the bike course.

it is just a group that gets together every once and a while and talks about glory days. sometimes we train together also. There is no wedsite or anything like that. A facebook group page was made and I just clipped and pasted it to this thread.

I don't know never been there, I figured it would be where the race starts

Good to hear semi-officially. I assumed when they were trying to fill volunteer positions for next years signups the renewal was a done deal, but still hadn't (haven't) seen any official announcement. I am so in for next year. Good luck to everyone!

Yee haw!!! That's what I've been waiting to hear... I'm in for next year.

I've been lurking here for the last year, following the amazing journey you've all set out on - best of luck and Godspeed on Sunday!  I'll be volunteering at the finish line... can't wait to see all your smiling faces

According to the FB Event Page:  Open Water Swim Practice - We are meeting at Indepence Point at Mudgey & Millie on the corner of the steps. It was suggested we have a mass start for practice, so please be ready to start swimming at 7:15am

They are serving hot coffee afterwards so there will be people on shore to watch any bags you might leave.

Just to confirm 7:15PM swim start on Thurs, right?
