We did a short run along centennial trail then dipped our legs in the lake. Brrrrrr. I think this morning we'll actually swim and then bike. Oh yeah..... ate at Capones last night. It was AWESOME! |

We're renting a car, so I'll just need to hustle them into the car and get to the site as quick as I can. |

I figure a 26mile ride will be a good easy spinjapewang - 2012-06-19 3:18 PM Has anyone got a recap of all the group workouts that are going on this week up at CDA? According to my notes, there are swims at 7am on thursday and friday. I'm going to ride the run course after picking up my bike from TBT on thursday. Anything else going on? Not a workout but, I believe we are meeting at 1 on Friday to do a drive of the bike course. |

Ugh, why does my life have to be like the end of a Back to the Future movie? It's only about a 45 min drive. You should be OK as long as you head directly to the packet pickup area. |

Member 45 | Subject: RE: Ironman Coeur d'Alene : Official Thread When I did my last ironman in AZ in 2010 I used a company called tritracker or something. You put in your friends phone numbers and it sent you texts as you completed the race. Last I heard from the company was Ironman was ending their relationship. Is there something else out there like that or through Ironman? |

Champion 7347 SRQ, FL | Subject: RE: Ironman Coeur d'Alene : Official Thread Just a bit of advice about the practice swims. Being in cold water depletes your glycogen levels a lot more than being in warm water. Your body will burn more calories just trying to keep warm. So while you might take a nice easy swim you are expending more energy that you think. It's not a big deal to do a practice swim (I did one before the race). Just don't overtax yourself and remember to replace those calories with good sources of energy. IMHO 3 practice swims is a bit excessive. One is enough to get you used to the shock of the cold water. Good luck! I'm excited and I'm not even racing this year... |

Veteran 305 Springfield/Branson | Subject: RE: Ironman Coeur d'Alene : Official Thread Good luck to everyone racing this year. I was where you are now last June. Looks to be similar race conditions. Enjoy your journey. Don't forget to pack some warm clothes for you and your family as it does start to cool off pretty quick after the sun goes down. Wish I was there with you guys. CdA rocks! |
