Ironman Cozumel : Official Thread (Page 2)

Thanks.  I'll probably need some support along the way. 

I'm in again for 2012! I had a rough training year last year with multiple injuries and mono for half of the summer leading up to IM Coz 2011. I had to readjust my goal to just get to the start line, so I was thrilled that I made the bike cutoff by 1 minute 14 seconds, but I had to take it really slow during the marathon due to fatigue from the mono. I DNF'd after 22K or so because at that point, I knew I wouldn't have time to finish and I was proud of what I managed to do given the circumstances. I was so happy I made it that far that I didn't even care. But NOW, it's on!! I am bound and determined to have a healthy season and get out there at 100%!

I absolutely LOVED everything about the whole experience and can't wait to do it again!

Glad to see you are going to go back and settle some unfinished business down there in Cozumel. I am looking forward to watching you push forward towards your IM goals.

I have already signed up, it will be my second Ironman (Louisville 2009). I have been working on my speed over the last couple years doing several 70.3s and I`m ready now for another Ironman. A coulpe other endurannce events this year for me are a 24 hour road bike race in June and in September I will be doing my fist 50 miler trail run. Should have a great base by November

Cheers

HI Nate,

We'll definitely be having a good group heading down there. You will definitely have a good base on you by then

How did you toured the course? moped? auto? bike? everything you expected? 

Little excited? when are you starting your training? 

Toured via rental car. 

Course is what I expected.  I've been diving in Cozumel for 15 years so I am pretty familiar with the island.  Just hadn't been on the exact roads in quite a few years.

Base training now till the snow thaws, and actual plan will start sometime in May / June.

Swim:  Warm and has high visibility.

Bike:  Mostly flat and exposed.  Pavement looks pretty decent the whole way.  Serious crosswinds on the leg from Punta Sur north to the cut across the island. 

Run:  Pretty much flat.

Others who have done it can give more specifics or you can get more info on the course home page.

Golfpro...what do you mean ...."when are you starting your training?"    haven`t we all started already??

cheers

Nate,

I meant asking specifically when does training begin for Cozumel? 20 - 24 wk Full IM training plan.

Yes, I've started training as well since I have a few races scheduled from May through the summer and having Coz as the "A" race.

lol, I was jk golfpro....golfpro...golfpro....golfpro....  

I just completed my first 4 hour bike ride on a trainer...It went by pretty good, watched 2 movies I hadn`t seen in some time. I have a new trainer coming in this week...Tacx Vortex with the computer program. Im so looking forward to it.

Im just maintaining my running right now at 3 times a week ~40 to 45 k depending on how I feel.

I need to get in the pool, I just dont enjoy swimming so Im finding it hard to go.

Hope everyone else is doing great

Cheers

good god 4 hours is a great effort. I managed 2h30min a few weeks ago and i felt really tired and really bored.
