Ironman Florida : Official Thread (Page 83)

The condo is ok. Not outstanding, but not bad. Parking was not a problem at all. The lot was never completely full. I never had to look for a place to park. I loved being this close to everything. It made the race that much more enjoyable.

Awesome!! Glad you got in. Looks like it sold out in 20 minutes according to Facebook.

Congrats to everyone!!!

I was looking for Kathy on my last run loop. It was dark but was looking for 606. I heard someone with a Northeast accent giving encouragement and happen to catch part of her race number. Had a chance to say hi very briefly as we passed. What a great encourager and example.

I have no complaints with my race. First goal was just to finish, and I did that. My second goal was to beat 15 hrs. I came in at 13:51 so I was very happy.

This has been an awesome journey and I appreciate all the support and advice from all.

Congrats!!

You will get all different answers on this subject. I say do whatever helps you the most mentally. If you do your IM training you will be physically able to complete the run portion. If it helps you mentally to complete a marathon first then go for it. I did a marathon 2 years ago. This year the most I ran was 17 miles. I had no issues on the run because I was faithful to the training plan.

Dear Jasha,

Congratulations! You are now registered for 2012 Ironman Florida. Please check the event's official website for updates: http://www.ironmanflorida.com/

go there and you can set up an email to notify when ready - or go to ASI web site in a few days - it usually only takes a few days to get them set.

Thank you just registered.

There are a few one or two cog shift hills in the back park, but it is pretty flat compared to the rest of the country.  Even on our group ride from Covington throgh Washington Parish has ALOT more hills.

I REALLY hope all the construction is 100% finished by next years race.  It has been going on for forever.

Let's see your new TAT. Here is what I got on my left calf.

Congrats everyone!  I had a great time cheering you on and helping out all the ladies in the change tent.

My glutes now feel like I did a few hundred squats and lunges.

I have a question concerning the results...

The official results show 2,439 people starting the race but both the unofficial results and the participant list show 2,921.  Is the difference (482 people) the number of people who signed up but did not start?

Had a Blast at the Race. It was so much fun meeting everyone. I did not sign up for next year, as I already have 3 Ironman on my schedule. I would do this race again. The ocean swim was the best ! We left on Sunday and headed to Tampa. Went for a short bike ride today and long long walk on the beach. Fabulous weather here.

Last loop I said something to everyone or every group I passed. Glad you knew it was me...it helped me a lot with encouragement from others.

Way to smash your goal!
