SBR Utopia ~~~~ Permanently OPEN!! (Page 52)

Just discovered that CDA uses a TT swim start now (didn't in 2009).  Not sure what to think about it.

Sounded like a gauntlet being thrown down.

So you got a whole year to work on your swim.  

The swim is just about all I have left........ 

My fastest IM bike was 5:29 2010 Lack Placid 

My run......well lets just say a lot of people pass me.   

All I can say is Mont-Tremblant…

I did throw down a 2:38 bike at Mont-Tremblant 70.3 in 2013, so it can be a fair race Jim…..

Nicole, I hope they can work something out for you.  Surely you won't be the only one in that situation and they can come up with something.

You guys are killing me with all the talk about registering for IMMT 2015   I seriously cannot get excited about signing up for CDA but I'll just suck it up for a year.

Here is some motivation for you Jim.  Sign up and see if you can catch me.    btw we are in the same AG 

did you guys hear what I think I just heard??

Arend...I think you should reconsider the IM next yr. Id train really hard to match your swim time if you did

Kick sets?  25 x 100?  

I'm not a fan of them either but CdA's swim without it was an absolute brawl.

Arend, you know you want to race and beat your last time.  

Just think how much better you'll do.  

Give me 4 mins on the swim and I'll race you there.....  Lets drag Marc into this for a rematch at a real endurance distance.....

Make one for Leadman...LOL

Rusty are you going us?  

Nicole, really hoping you get that worked out!

3 swims so far this week, about 3,000 each. Think one of them *might* have gotten up to 1,000 total free in the workout.

Thanks, everyone!  The thing that's most irritating about this is the lack of communication -- I'd just like to know if they will hold the packet, let someone else pick it up for me (thanks for the offer, Marc!), or if they're going to tell me tough shite.

Nicole, have you tried PM'ing sportstats on ST?  He is the RD or assistant RD (something like that) for the race and may be able to get you a better answer?

I haven't -- thanks for the suggestion, I'll give that a shot. 

Nicole, hope you get this figured out in the next couple of days so you don't have to deal with the extra stress.

Today was the conclusion of my biggest week in the last 2 years.  Looking at the schedule for the next two weeks things really start to drop off, although I still have a big run on Wednesday.  I was up North this weekend and drove a little further on Saturday morning to ride the Muskoka course - I obviously wasn't the only one who had that plan as there were a lot of Triathletes in the parking lot coming and going when I arrived and when I came back from my ride.  2 years and you start to forget how difficult a ride can be, but I got a good reminder yesterday.  That said the ride went well, and I hit the targeted power numbers - but wished I had that 28 for the last couple of climbs.  Not sure that I'm going to get the LBS to muck around with the bike just 2 weeks before the race, as I've had issues before after doing that and I'd rather not give myself something else to worry or stress about.
