Great Floridian Triathlon : Official Thread (Page 2)

I would say that you are way faster than I am.  I took 6:58 to get around three times.  I did want to be conservative though and spent lap 2 and part of 3 riding with others and probably would have gone faster alone.  But not that much.  I was what I expected.  The wind was there and the heat and I hope they are diminished on race day.

My bike time is not that important to me, I want to run the marathon.  I can make up hours if I run instead of walking for 26.2 miles.

My Garmin reports 3,628 feet of climbing on the day.  Not bad for Florida.

two weeks prior is this weekend.  I rode the first two loops again last Friday and am going to try and do it again this weekend.  It may be Sunday though.

Is anyone considering a wetsuit?  I understand that they are generlly allowed, the temp. is low enough.

there is not much shade on the run.  somewhere betwen 1 1/2 miles and 2 miles there is a little but otherwise its open.  since the run was moved to the trail there is also a hill that you have to run up on the way back to the lake.  consider it a bonus.

I did the 1/2 ironman there and we ran that path, it will be a little longer and there are three laps instead of 2, but I didn't mind it at all.  It was OK and there won't need to be as many aid stations this way either.

see you thursday at the pasta dinner.
