Congrats on the bike! Post pictures when you get it.

Scott, congrats on your race. You are still looking at sub 13 hour IM finish. How was your nutrition? Even though you are not in too much pain, take it easy the next few days. There usually comes a crash, and it's not always the day after.

Have a great week guys. My back has been a little screwed up, but I think I am going running sometime either today or tomorrow. Wish me luck. I have 2 weeks until my marathon

Great race report. Very detailed. You took in 1700 calories on the bike? How did you feel? Get used to the rain, Lake Placid rains almost very year, I think. This was good practice for that.

Don't worry about doubling your distance. Everybody is concerned about that. Think of it this way. You won't feel much worse at mile 139.6 as you did at 70.3 and at 139.6 you'll only have one mile to go, so that is the easiest mile you will do.

1700 seems like a lot of calories for that long of a ride. That would translate into 3400 cals for your IM bike. Most people would be in the 1800-2400 range. If you can handle that, then even better for you and the run.

Very nice bike! That reminds me, I need a new bike

Have a great ride this weekend

My groin has been bugging me. I finally got out and ran on it a little this weekend. It feels fine. I will give it go for the marathon this weekend. She be fun. I am running with a coworker who is not in the greatest of shape, so we will slog it out and have a good time in the process, I think. Some of our other coworkers will be out there supporting us, so we are going to make a fun day of it.
