Ironman Wisconsin : Official Thread (Page 6)

#2 for me.

Should be a lot of first timers on this thread.  Last year at the IMWI dinner I think there were over 1000 people doing their first IM.  I would bet at least 35 of the 74 here are 1st timers?

I'm not only a first timer, but it will be my 7th or 8th tri ever. I've only done 3 so far and have an HIM and a few shorter races before IMWI.

Nice! You're doing IMNO 70.3 too. I won't get much outdoor biking in either, but I'm hoping for a few rides. This has been a tough winter for sure. Good luck!

Thanks for this! I just watched the bike video and it's great to see a preview.

Having know both, the thrill  Of a IM finish and the Heart break of  a DNF . I would like to bring up an often overlooked  part of IM racing and training. We spend countless hours training the body, But very little time on the mind. To quote the man himself "Many triathletes still don't do any mental training, and among those that do, most only do it in the final days or hours before big races. Metal training needs to happen year-round" Dave Scott.......... 

I am again reading The Triathlete"s Guide To MentalTraining.. By Jim Taylor & Terri Schneider      any  suggestions of  a book or feed back will help us all......

P.S. I lost My MOJO at IMOO last year so if you have seen them let me know.They Must be reunited.

a reward of several  pints of Guinness after IMOO is being offered                                                     

this is    MO          and             JO                                                                                 

Workout ???                                 Who me ??? 

I'm also a first-timer!  My first HIM will be Wildflower May...my first marathon is Napa in March.  2009 will be a very big year for me....one way or another!

IMMoo will be my first after a disappoint injury during training ended my IMKY training last year. 

 Winter has been hard for me but I feel I am finally out of my winter funk and I am back training.  I even thinking about seeing if I can ride my tri bike on the trainer over the road bike. 

 I am fianlly getting excited again and good news is I start the year about 30 lbs lighter than last year.

X2. Winter is crushing my motivation entirely. I'd take even 45 degrees at this point.

Moo will be my first IM...did someone say May bike weekend? 

 Let me know when, and I"ll pack....except not mother's day weekend, ok?  My mom needs me....and I have a half marathon that day.

This will hopefully be my second. I did Louisville in 2007.  Not much time left on my knee, so hopeully I can make it through the training. After that I can walk if I have to.
