New user 5 | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Racine : Official Thread Just signed up! Racine this year. Madison IM next year. I started the goal on New Years Day 2008. Knew I needed to work through a sprint, olympic, 1/2 marathon, marathon, 70.3 and then full IM. This 70.3 is my last event to get me to 2011 Madison. |

Veteran 121 Madison | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Racine : Official Thread First HIM for me as well. Did the sprint there last year for fun and to check out the course for this year. I will probably head up there a couple of times before to do the bike course and run. |

| Expert 821 Golden, CO | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Racine : Official Thread Howdy - first half for me. I grew up in Racine so I will be embarrassing myself in front of family and friends..lol. Hopefully my altitude training will help me out..probably not..but at least I will be able to drink more afterwars. |

I am looking to go up and bike in Wisconsin more this year as well, since Illinois is just sooooooooooo flat! Maybe we can organize some "first 1/2 IMers" rides???

Master 1467 Small Town | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Racine : Official Thread Wow, lots of first time HIM'ers. So are you all in it because it's now an IM event or is it the venue? This was my planned year to do an HIM and for me it is one of the closest IM 70.3 events. I've heard great things about the venue. What are your goals/dreams for this race? Anyone hoping for a Clearwater slot? |

I plan on riding the course a few times and would definitely be up for a BT group ride. This is also my first HIM and indeed, it will only be my second triathlon (I'm planning on doing an Oly in spring). I'm doing it simply because it is the closest 70.3 to Chicago. I had entertained thoughts of doing Steelhead, but that falls on my bday and I figured that if I bonked or performed poorly it would be a pretty rough way to spend a bday. As for my goals, I am doing this first and foremost to get myself fit. Performance is also a top priority- I will be racing and have a certain time that I will be trying to crack. Someone mentioned that the run goes through a zoo. I did not know this...if its a hot day, can you imagine having to run through pockets of elephant dung stench?! Seems like a good way to get participants to puke... |

Master 1563 Chicago | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Racine : Official Thread daviddclough - 2010-02-04 10:11 AM I'm in. It will be my second time at Racine. Missed last year due to a little bike accident. I am looking forward to getting back. Hi numbers! Hi to you Mr. For those of you unfamiliar with this race, let me tell you one thing from having done the sprint the last 3 years... THE WATER IS REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY COLD!!! 2 years ago, it was 56 and last year, it dropped to 53. It feels like glass, but surprisingly, the pain does go away eventually after a few strokes. And I am a huge wuss in the water, so trust me, if I can get through it, I'm sure you all will be fine. I am REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY hoping that the winds shift this year (as that is what I was told controld the water temp) and we get the water temp back to how it was my first year, totally fine, but the 3 foot waves are what made that swim challenging.

Extreme Veteran 1074 | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Racine : Official Thread JHagerman - 2010-02-03 8:13 PM Wow, lots of first time HIM'ers. So are you all in it because it's now an IM event or is it the venue? This was my planned year to do an HIM and for me it is one of the closest IM 70.3 events. I've heard great things about the venue. What are your goals/dreams for this race? Anyone hoping for a Clearwater slot? 1st time here. Couple years of olympics and want to try longer. The race is an hour from home, you can't that.....Zip in, zip out, just like going to Wisconsin. goals and dreams are to finish. I would definitely be in for a ride at some point up there! And also am definitely preparing for lake at any temp. |

| Veteran 585 Kenosha, WI | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Racine : Official Thread I'm signed up for this race too. First HIM. The bike course is a nice ride, I did it a couple of times last summer. Jumped in the lake new years day... waters fine... Hoping for a 6hr race... I'll be happy with any time as long as I wake up the next day. |

| Extreme Veteran 396 | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Racine : Official Thread My goal for this race is to finish around 5:45- That's the cut time to qualify for Nationals for my age group. I don't have plans to go to Nationals, jut to get that time. In order to do that I will need to step up my run. My Swim and bike are in pretty good shape to reach the goal. |

Master 1832 Elgin, IL | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Racine : Official Thread Hi everyone, first HIM for me too. I was going to sign up for Steelhead, but Racine is closer. The run is my stuggle Would love to meet up with people to ride the course, swim in the lake, etc. I chose this race cuz it said the run was flat and being that I am a horrible runner, the flatter the better!!! Hope to actually make up time in the swim and the bike so that I actually finish the race in the allotted amount of time (Yep, that is how bad my run is, more of a jog actually) |

New user 23 NE Illinois | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Racine : Official Thread Reposting this from the other Racine 70.3 thread: First time poster. Pulled the trigger today and entered Racine 70.3. Did about a half dozen Oly distance tris 20+ years ago, when they were the Bud Light Triathlon Series. 5 marathons and multiple half marathons in the past 4 years. Back in the pool for the first time in 18 years...feels amazingly good. Anyone in Lake Co. IL or Kenosha Co. WI looking for a riding partner on occasion, let me know... (FYI I'm not Lance or a Kenyan, but I hold my own for a 50 year old guy...Chicago 3:47, Cary 1:44, bike 17-18 mph by myself just for fun...) |
