I told you so! Great. Now you guys are making me reconsider. Dang i want a pink bike. And painting it pink is stupid b/c it drastically limits the resale population. Would look much better with the dress and compression socks I plan to rock for my sub-12 debut.  oh wait, i think i'd actually have to train for that, so forget that. |

Expert 770 Long Island, NY | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread If you still like riding the DA, why not have a graphics place do up vinyl decals to cover some/all of the Felt graphics with a different (pink) design. Super thin so it's less like a sticker. The possibilities would be endless and you can have them do up the wheels while you're at it. When you want to sell, pull them off and you're back to stock. |

Expert 770 Long Island, NY | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread http://www.taigraphx.com/Taigraphx_main.html He did the decals for my Hed wheels. Fast (work and as a triathlete) and a pleasure to deal with. Lots of guys over on the "other" site have used him with good results. Shoot him an email with what you have in mind. He'll know if it can be done well and work on what you had in mind designwise. |

Extreme Veteran 398 Sea Isle City, NJ | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread Tire question for the group. I am using the Tufo S3 Lites. I know nothing about tires other than these came recommended. The tires on my wheels now are 700x21. I need to order 2 spares for the season and I found a great sale online for $54 each. They don't have 21mm in stock and only have the 19mm. Is this a big deal really? I am sure there is some 5 page article somewhere debating tire size and wind resistance and rolling resistance. I am thinking it is not and especially since I am hoping these to be my spares (unless I have a flat prior to LP). Again, don't know anything about tires but kind of think I am making something out of nothing here. Thoughts? The wheelset is Blackwell 100mm tubular both front and back if that matters. Thanks! |

I have Wildflower on May 1 not too much going on at work today so im kinda bored... I have a half marathon this Sunday, another half marathon May 2nd, a HIM (Harryman) May 22nd, REV3 HIM June 5th, and a few sprint Triathlons sprinkled in. The last three weeks in June will be all about Build Period. Both my HIM's have wicked hills which will be race-specific LP training. Edited by Dream Chaser 2010-03-23 5:16 PM |

| Master 1920 Ann Arbor, MI | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread Ryan (yeats) and I are doing the American Triple-T in Ohio in late May. It's 4 races spread out over 3 days: super short sprint day 1; olympic in AM of Day 2; run-swim-bike olymipc distance in the evening of day 2; then a HIM on day 3. Should be great training for IM!! And we get to race as a team, instead of against each other |

| Master 2468 Muskego, Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid : Official Thread You guys and all your warm up races are making me jealous. There's another drawback to living on this tiny island...there are virtually no triathlons between now and July. Per year on this island there are only about 5, and those are all super sprints or sprints. The one big one is called the Izenna 88 and it gets cancelled frequently with no refunds. Everything else is a plane ride away.

I'm sure you will still do well though. Probably hard not to have access to a local tri community too? maybe you have one in Japan?You guys and all your warm up races are making me jealous.

There's a bit of a tri community but most of the guys and gals on this island are military so they deploy and relocate often. Mostly they do a lot of talking online and meet up at the few races on island. |
