Ironman Wisconsin : Official Thread (Page 8)

omg... too funny...those little critters are out there on the bike course tooo-.... BEWARE

I figure I'll start a 16 week plan in late April. 

Moo will be my first IM, I'm doing my first HIM in May.  Did my first Marathon yesterday.   Hard time getting off the couch today....and 'run' is my newest four-letter word!

Linda - not only did you do your 1st marathon, you smoked it!  Congrats on qualifying for Boston in your first attempt!! 

So until last week, when I tried the swim distance for the first time all the ironman nightmares were about the swim. 

Last night...I finished the swim and started the run.  I was so happy when I realized I was almost done the run and it was only early in the afternoon, then it dawned on me...I had accidentally skipped the bike portion.  So I finished the run and got my bike, but there was a big arguement about doing it in order and I think I got DQ'ed.   

I'm jealous! I did 50 miles on the trainer yesterday. I'm building up mental toughness for sure.

Anybody planning on hitting the bike course memorial day weekend?  The mrs is doing the madison half mary on sunday but thinking of sneaking in a bike on sat, either verona loop or from the start, one loop around verona and back.  hoping to get there before as well, but just throwing this out since its a travel weekend and folks have extra time in theory.

Or a numb azz.

Numb azz is an understatement. I did 60 miles on Friday!

I thought I was getting serious.....how much more serious am I going to need to get? 

32 miles on the bike - into the wind, but SUNNY! on Weds.  1,25 hours in the pool and then a 6 mile run with my 13 year old training partner Thursday.   In prep for IM Moo. we're doing Wildflower HIM in 5 weeks- and he's doing the relay (run) with his dad and brother.  Truly a family event!

That's soooooo cool that your boy is into this!

A little more, I would suspect.

Wow, that is chilly for a century. Impressive!
