Extreme Veteran 353  New York | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread I'm getting psyched to ride OUTSIDE this weekend for the first time! I am looking for hills. Papson, I would let you see my logs, except I don't have any online. I had a breakthrough with swimming yesterday, and it was welcome because my swimming has been SUCKING lately. The only difference was that on the way to the pool, I used my asthma inhaler a couple of times. Wasn't having asthma, it was kind of a whim. Well lo and behold, I swam two miles, easily. I was shocked! Took 55 minutes. Previously I would swim a few laps then stand in the shallow end trying to catch my breath. It was frustrating and freaking me out. I had this image of never actually swimming the whole distance, or even half of it, without stopping, then getting to race day and having a panic attack. Now it turns out the pool/chlorine was giving me asthma and that was why I could never get enough air. I think I'm going to do the 2.4 miles every couple of weeks, increasing to once a week as it gets closer to race time; then do the interval workouts on the other swim days. Being able to swim the distance easily and often will do a lot to calm me down on race day. Now I just need to find some people to elbow/punch/kick me in the head/swim over me while I do it... |

| Member 108 Upstate NY | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread Yep glad for the warmer weather and outside rides, but let's bring that sun up a little bit earlier so I can get my bike rides done outside in the morning. Still nervous to bring my new bike outside, still using my old road bike outside. I'll have to suck it up and ride it outside sooner or latter. |

How about - Take another crack at IM Japan I had switched from a Perpetuem/Gu combo to a GU and Cytomax. It seemed to work better for me as I liked the taste much better and I felt better throughout training. However, some of my training sessions I would have some slight GI trouble a few hours after I finished the long workouts. Since it was always 3+ hours after I finished and I never had problems while I was out training I didn't worry about it. Guess I should have because the same GI problems arrived early on race day. I have since switched to Infinit and the problems have not been back. |

I skipped the sushi the night before, it does take some getting use to knowing that you wont be able to find the things you're use to eating. Goto, Nagasaki is a tiny island, but I had been practicing eating curry and rice before long workouts as you can find that anywhere in Japan. You should have seen the dried fish breakfast they were serving race morning... I passed there too. |

| Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread PennState - 2010-03-18 7:59 PM Personally I think I am going to take an ironman break in 2011. I'm not sure of this and certainly don't hold me to it. Just thinking that 3 straight years of ironman are a bit much and I would like to focus of the HIM distance. I think I'm going to do an UltraMarathon early next year; then the Boston Marathon, then Plymouth Rock Iron distance in September. Edited by Dream Chaser 2010-03-19 7:15 AM |

Just asking how do sign ups work for people doing the race? either sign up Saturday or wait in line Monday? Do you get preference Monday with the volunteers? just curious, I could see myself waiting to see how it plays out Sunday, this wont be my last IM, but I could see myself waiting, maybe doing a race that doesn't sell out so fast, like louisville.... |

| Master 1588 San Francisco | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread Not likely I'll do IMLP in 2011. I'm more interested in trying all the different races than repeating. Maybe St. George or New Zealand and Canada next year. |
