Champion  6656     |  Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official ThreadRJohnson1979 - 2011-05-04 2:58 PM I'm curious about what everyone has on tap for training this weekend??? Getting to be that time of training when we start going lonnnnnnnnnng! 5hr ride on Sat and a 15km run on Sun. I finished my long run of the week today because I wanted some more time in between my long run and my HM on the 15th. The 5 hr ride might be split between inside/outside depending on the weather... Oh looooooooonggggg rides... |

June 5th is my first of the season and that still seems like an eternity! Nick, are you doing Keuka? Looks like the lake is going to be pretty chilly. At least they fixed up 54A, so that will help a little. John... nice looking ride, enjoy!!! Edited by glazebal 2011-05-04 7:54 PM |

Regular 69 Silver Spring, Maryland | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread Did a modified tri today, 46 minute swim, 3 hour bike, 1 hour run. Didn't push the pace and felt somewhat easy, quite happy with that. Planning a 5 hour ride and 1 hour run on Saturday, Sunday is Mother's Day so plan to treat the mother of my 2 children to a nice day and maybe squeeze in a swim. |

It will be chilly water indeed, but it'll just make us swim faster because we wanna get out, right? |

I figure I weight more than enough to make it worth my while to play that game once in a great while. |

Regular 118 Grand Rapids | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread To round out my birthday (I turn 45 on May 6 - I age up this year!) my wife is taking me out for Thai and beer! For a tri geek like myself it doesn't get much better than this. Happy early birthday IronBubba. My birthday is also May 6th, as of right now I am planning on celebrating with a swim and a bike. But if I finish early enough I might be able to get out for dinner too. |

June 5th is my first of the season and that still seems like an eternity! A few of my friends laughed at me for doing a Mini Sprint a couple of weeks ago, and I was like hey - I haven't done a Triathlon in 10-months!! That's 10-months too long! As silly/crazy as it sounds, my main focus now and has been for my 70.3 race June 5th. That is and has been my main motivator. Once I complete that race and Recover, then I can fully focus on Lake Placid. |

Getting to be that time of training when we start going lonnnnnnnnnng! I'm booked solid with Family obligations this weekend, so I'm taking off from work tomorrow to get an 80-mile Ride in. Saturday morning I am planing a 12-mile medium-Long Run. This is as long as I 'll ride from now till after my 70.3 June 5th. As soon as I'm recovered from that, it'll be Century Ride time  which will probably start the weekend of June 11th. |

Fri/Sat - 2 day 220 mile Tour de Skyline with 25k of climbing and then a long run on Sunday. First big week of the year for me with many more to come. |

Really schweeet ride!! Congrats on the new steed. In 3 1/2 years when I turn 40 (if I'm still in this sport - hopefully) I plan to buy myself a new bike for my birthday, and right now it's a toss up between a P4 and Trek Speed Concept. AWESOME RIDE!! Congrats |

Regular 124 | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread RJohnson1979 - 2011-05-04 4:58 PM I'm curious about what everyone has on tap for training this weekend??? Getting to be that time of training when we start going lonnnnnnnnnng! 105mile ride from GW to Harriman Loop - round there a couple times and back. Nice and Hilly. Taking Sunday off, I feel like I have been training too hard and all I think about is the IM ~ plus both hamstrings are bothering me. Going to Placid for the long w/e in May and torn between two options - thoughts and suggestions welcome: 1 - Do the bike loop twice (so 112mile non stop) 2- Do the bike loop once and run loop once I'm leaning towards 1… Running is running right, and there is probably more to "learn" about the 112mile ride... Happy Birthday Birthday People... Hopefully you get to unwrap some new tri gear. Oh - anyone doing Rev 3 HIM in CT 5th June? Previous times look long. Maybe it just cause it is early in the season but I think it is cause it is brutal. |

Member 51 | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread I'll be riding 4+ hours on Saturday in the Essex County and 1 hr run on Sunday...Have a Jerseyman Half coming up in two weeks. Yeeehhhhaaaaa! Has anyone tried Carb-Pro mix??? I am planning on using it on my bike ride tomorrow...hopefully I'll get a boost out of that. Also, placed an order for this book, should be very interesting http://www.amazon.com/Im-Here-Win-Champions-Performance/dp/1455502677 |

Member 73 Buffalo, NY | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread I use carbo-pro for all my training and racing. Just converted this year and I barely use anything else for my calories while training except to get used to what's on course at each race. Not a single complaint, stuff works great. |

Oh nice! Where are you staying? For a 2 hour run I like to run along the canal tow path from Georgetown out west. Its flat, shady, pretty, not crowded, soft turf, and theres a boathouse to stop at for gatorade or water if you need. Or you could do rock creek park path / trails if you want hills. Otherwise you could always run the bridges, National Mall, Hains Point area! Hope you have fun here!!! |
