Ironman Florida : Official Thread (Page 53)

Historic weather averages PCB for 11/5

Is it to early to put up goals?

Anyone want to make an excel file or Google document of all the BTers racing with screen name, real name, and race number?

Yes they have mini aid station with fluids. I do tuck it up my left sleeve as I'm a right handed.

I get it out as I stand up and try to have finished by time I get to sand and can take in water from volunteers.

Gel will help as I won't be taking calories in for ~2.5 hours if no gel.

I feel better today.  Ran 14 miles yesterday and the run made me feel better.  Maybe its just stress. 

I am kinda worried about your mathematics about calories etc.  I am shooting for anything sub 17.  I have some simple stuff I do for food but its not set with alarms or anything.  I just eat the same gu, perform, pretzels etc throughout the bike and when I run.  I just kinda eat and drink the whole time.  Its not an exact thing each time.  Ya'll got me worried.... 

As with anything.  Give this method a couple of trail runs to ensure the gel isn't going to just just sit in your gut and start GI issues early on.  I know some a few people who can't take gels during the swim and it bloats them up. 

Goals are to enjoy my first IM  from start to finsh no time set but less than 17. The thing that keeps me going  through training and going through my mind about the race is 1) Call myself an ironman and 2) the oh so sweet 90min massages.

The alerts on the watch just keeps me in check to make sure I pay attention to drinking and eat and not get caught up  on race day hype and bonk(wal-mart timex $15 put on writst or strap on bike). My simple plan is finish all my food and gels at 56 miles and then have the same stuff maybe a candy bar in my SB bag for the rest of 56 and finish that before the run. This way I know I got the cals in to take me through onto the run and live off the course till SB run and have me Snickers and Redbull as a treat.

Luv the trisports 25% discount they having now  because I just got me some recovery 2XU compression long tights for after the race.

sorry

Put in HARVEST99-E in the coupon box NOT gifts box

HA!  I think we will all be sporting those!

Well we will be living together for almost a week and eat, sleep and drink together and why not wear the same tights we Family now lol

here is the link for our IMFL 2011 spreadheet, it is set-up where any of us can edit, feel free to change it as you guys find necessary....right now its "screen name" "race day name" "preferred name" "bib #" "race goal"

If anyone has spare time, they can go through this thread and pick out BT name and bib number to add to document.

Not every one checks this thread 15x a day or is that 15x an hour..shocking I know..who can stay away.
