Oh if you park in the meters make sure you plug it! I got a $15 dollar ticket as I forgot to plug in more quarters when we went to breakfast!

Thank you for the offer. I have a couple single packets but, like you said, worry it wont be enough. I'll spend the $20 if I have to. All a wash in the bucket at this point.

If you are standing at the swim start staring at the lake look to the left. There is a bike shop at the end of the parking lot. Machinery Row I believe. I know I've purchased it there in the past.

Tonight - eat well at the dinner.  Get a great night's sleep.

Tomorrow - relax, get your last-minute schtuff planned out and gathered and ready to go, and get another great night's sleep.  It has all been worked on, modified, tweaked, improved on/upon, fixed, etc. by this time/point.  You ARE ready!  You WILL do well!  You WILL have a great race!

Sunday - RACE YER AZZES OFF!!  The day will be a beautiful day with a high of about 72 degrees F (from the weatherman) - great conditions!  GOOD LUCK!

Here's a picture of our morning swim/breakfast group.  It was great meeting everyone.  My wife Misty (mrsuwood) took the picture.  She's not racing Sunday but did the OWS swim with us.

Black tie and compression socks.

It's typically casual - everything from running gear to jeans to slacks. Think I saw most people going the jeans/t-shirt (Ironman t-shirt of course) route.

Everywhere in Madison is casual.  Even in the best restaurants, jeans and a blazer/jacket is fine.  Shorts/sandels/t-shirts a perfectly fine for tonight.  Jeans and kakais are perfect fine, but not necessary.  Wear a shirt to support your local bike shop/training group/best race/home city or state...great conversation starter.

How many splits, as in what is listed online or for family following their athlete?  I think there are four to five for the bike and run if I remember correctly for family tracking online.  No splits listed on the results page for years past.

Splits for the live tracking.  I'm putting together a spreadsheet.

 

On that note - does anyone have the ambiguous BT gmail log it for google docs?  I can probably find it (eventually).

Where you tri-suit under your wetsuit.  It will show everyone that you mean business.

so I created a separate gmail account to post the sheet with - [email protected]  password - Wisconsin2012.  Not sure where I should post the sheet - on here, on the iron distance forum or on the regular forum?

 

Thoughts? 

 

Sheet is already uploaded if anyone wants to go in, add themselves, edit the sheet or whatever.

How do you access the sheet?  I think putting it on the iron distance forum makes the most sense.

I was assuming you'd post the sheet on here.  I haven't given it much thought for where else you may post it.  In any event, I'll be watching to see what happens.

 

Thank you for putting the time into it!

I recall in past races the watching threads were in Tri Talk.  Most people watch that thread pretty close and the more participation there is the more fun it is for everyone.
