Vineman Full Ironman : Official Thread (Page 8)

Don't know about this year, but last year for the 70.3, I swam at 8am the day before the race and there were a lot of people there doing the same thing.  Now, that was a Saturday, not a Friday, but I don't know that the beach was actually "open" then.  Probably worth swinging by there with swim gear if you want to swim then.  Worst that'll happen is a brief waste of time, I guess.

Live tracking will be at Athletes Lounge: http://www.athleteslounge.com/results.php?eventid=2710 and if you search your name, race numbers are out!

Hey...looky there:  Bib #410.

(Easy to remember:  That's the time I'd like to get to on the run if my hamstring injury doesn't blow up.  **fingers crossed and knock wood**)

Nearly everyone runs their bike up the hill and starts riding. At least that was how it worked last year.


I'll be up there on Friday... leaving tomorrow and doing the majority of the drive. My buddy isn't going to race anymore so I am on my own and may be up for dinner.

Here is my ride... ready to race... Bring on the bumpy roads... I have carbon this year!

People can follow the race on Race day....

I'm #212.  Poweredbyfear is #272.  668 total participants.

Andy, nice ride!

accuweather says 84 degrees now for windsor.

Sadly, could be looking at DNF on the run--or at least very long day.  Hamstring injury not doing well on very short runs last two days.  I'll be resting it, etc., for the next 48 hours, but it hasn't come around as much as it looked like it would after the first week of rehabbing it.  Oh, well...it is what it is at this point.  Just sucks to have a freak, non-overuse, injury get in the way like this.

Hoping to not DNF here because of the calves, we shall see, I have been staying off them. 

So how do you find your bib number?

Go to the athlete tracking link and enter your name.

I have to admit my knee's been bugging me for the last week or two.  I've been icing it 3 times a day and taking ibuprofen to try to keep any swelling down.  C'est la guerre.  We're a who's who of the wounded and we're still more fortunate than those who won't be able to toe the start line.

As everyone posts their Bib numbers someone should make a list of them all...so we can track you guys!

Hope all those niggly little injury issues improve quickly!

Safe travels everyone..have fun out there!

#103

The number is so low, I feel like an elite!  I doubt I feel the same way when I come in just under the wire, but a guy can dream

#323.

See you all out there, and good luck (that is, as long as you are not in M35-39;  if you are, then, umm, well, break a leg or something... )

#277

Good luck!!! I'll be somewhere behind you, making sure the lights are turned off.

Hoping for race-day magic to cure the pains and aches for you all.

The race number app doesn't seem to be working with IE7, but works with IE8 and Firefox, and requires Flash.

My number is 239.

Here's a list:

And 333 for Barb's Race.  So over 1000 people on the course this year.  Big jump in the numbers from last year, if I'm not mistaken.  Crap economy seems to = good times for non M-Dot IMs.

<--- technologically  impaired can't find my way through the link to the race number or the place to enter  my name.

It could be your browser. It seems to work in IE 8, Firefox, and Safari, and requires the Flash plug-in.

If it's working, you will plainly see a magnifying glass, the text "Enter Name or Bib #" and a "Go" button.

Good luck to you ALL!!  I hope to race it next year, so I will be looking for your RR. 

Patrick

try entering your last name only.  when I entered my first name it did not work

#104.  I will be at the expo for the pre race meeting as well.  Hope to see everyone there.  Good luck! 
Just drove the course...the run is no joke!

I am #224

Good luck everyone.

I am 285.
