| New user 7 | Subject: RE: Silverman - Full Ironman I would love to get out there for the next ride but not sure it will happen. I am a little concerned about my pacing on the bike course and I am surely not looking to blow my run by going too hard on the bike. For comparison I was looking for someone who has done the race and mabe what they do on an avg half iron bike course and then their Silverman bike time. My last two half iron bikes have been 2:33 and 2:28. Both a little hilly but fair. Rover |

| Mesa | Subject: RE: Silverman - Full Ironman I'll be there but will be riding to the full turn around and back. To do the exact course, you are going to need to have to get a ride to the lake from Henderson or a ride from Henderson back to the lake. |

To do the exact course, you are going to need to have to get a ride to the lake from Henderson or a ride from Henderson back to the lake. I could be talked into that! My plan has a 5:30 long ride that Sun, but I could do it Sat. I was thinking about getting out there to do the long course turn around and back from the swim location or Boulder Beach. Not sure how fast you go, but I could try to keep up. Not sure how far that is, but it should be about 5-6 hours I'm guessing. BTW, do we need to sign up for it? |

| Mesa | Subject: RE: Silverman - Full Ironman You just show up and ride to do the pre-ride. You can throw anything you want carried in Frank's vehicle. He will have water so all I did last year was bring some powder and some energy gels. It is 107 miles if you ride to the turn around and back. Last year only a few of us went all the way to the turn around. I just picked this up on Friday.  |

Need to stick to the west side of town on Sat. Have a good ride people... |

Sensei Sin City | Subject: RE: Silverman - Full Ironman I know - got Sunday plans Need to get some more hills in on Sat. Want to go? You can do two long rides!!!! Have fun... BTW - are those the Xlab wheels. I know I have seen them before on line... Edited by Aikidoman 2008-10-01 1:18 PM |

| Mesa | Subject: RE: Silverman - Full Ironman Yep, Xlab wheels. They actually are not making them anymore. They are only making their 50mm rim w/spokes wheels and a solid disc. Have you seen that they have a 4 Spoke Version of the wheels out there for the clydes? I'll be driving up on Saturday. Going to show a guy from my tri club the run course and probably do a OWS @ Lake Mead. We are going to camp out at Mead and then get right up for the pre-ride. |

| Mesa | Subject: RE: Silverman - Full Ironman I don't know if any of you are members of the Las Vegas Triathlon Club but I must say that I am very unimpressed with the club because they bailed on and did not support the Silverman Pre-Ride as they said they would. They said that they would be at 20 miles and then would be at 30 miles and would be there supporting the ride for 5 hours. They mentioned that everyone should turn around at 2 1/2 hours and so we did. We only saw them at the 20 mile marker when it really wasn't needed and then they were gone and we never saw them again. They took off with the supplies that we left with them never showing face after the 20 mile marker and they weren't at either marker on the return trip either. Had to do 93 miles on 3 bottles. I ended up making it ok and paced drinking my last bottle when it seemed like they had bailed. There were some other riders out there that were hurting and really really needed to get fluids, etc. Last year Frank (the RD) ran the pre-ride and it was 1st class. So BOO on LV Tri Club. Not happy with them. Edited by chile7473 2008-10-05 9:57 PM |

Not happy with them. That freaking SUCKS! You need support out there. I did 80+ miles on Sat out there, and almost died without support... (an exageration). But I can see where people could be hurting... That is borderline dangerous.... |

| Veteran 144 Vienna, Austria (temporarily) | Subject: RE: Silverman - Full Ironman Hi all, The Silverman will be my first ironman distance race. I did the 5430 long course in Boulder this summer. I was wondering if any of you have done both the 5430 long course and the full Silverman in the past and how your times compared? I am trying to get an idea of approximately how long the Silverman will take. Thanks! |

However it appears that you are from Los Alamos. I grew up there. The bike will probably take 45 minutes to an hour longer than you might normally do a iron distance ride in. It is all according to how you deal with hills. Since you are from Los Alamos, I am sure you are very well rehearsed at hill riding. |

I have gotten used to the hills here in Los Alamos. Do you know what the road surface is like? I am hoping that it is not the chip seal stuff that they use around here. Thanks! |

I have gotten used to the hills here in Los Alamos. Do you know what the road surface is like? I am hoping that it is not the chip seal stuff that they use around here. Thanks! The roads are super smooth for about first 37 miles of the bike course. At about mile 37 to the turn around at 53 it is rough in spots but manageable. There are some spots in there that will launch water bottles from behind the seat drink holders. So there is about 32 miles of not as nice road. Once you get back on the super smooth road you'll feel spoiled by the road again. The bike path is nice as well and then the roads in Henderson are in fine condition too. I would equate the rougher part of the road to riding the back gate in Los Alamos from the lab down past Bandelier to White Rock. |

I am riding with a friend up to the race so I'll be pretty much at the mercy of the driver. I will be up there Friday until the awards ceremony. |
