Rev3 Cedar Point - Full Rev : Official Thread (Page 2)

Training week 2 of 20 and all is well, so far. Hows everyones training going? Is there a facebook group page for this race yet?

The web site said: Park tickets are NOT included in the price of entry.  Discounted tickets will be available for athletes and their families.

It doesnt say much more about it.

You people are quiet! lol. Our forum for IMLP was always hopping and exciting last year! Let's rev it up!

Curious to where everyone is in their training plans right now. What is the longest swim, run or bike you have done to this date? How many hours are you training? Last year I swam 3 times a week when training for IMLP, but I can only seem to get in the pool twice a week this year. I feel like I need to pick it up, but would rather focus much more on the run and/or bike. I don't think my swim is going to get much faster anyhow.

Last year I swam twice a week and it ended up fine. As long as I get at least two in a week Ill be happy. Maria and I are in week 4 of the BT ironman plan. So far its been about getting the workouts in but next week we start the build. My longest bike so far has only been 50 miles, but that all changes next week. Im concerned that the bike leg of the race will be my toughest one yet. Beach to Battleship and IMFL were both pancake flat. I see hills in my future.

Looking at the elevation gain for the bike and it says to be 1411 feet, which won't be too bad. It also says to expect wind to be a factor. I wonder what they consider to be a factor? Living out in NC I wont be able to make any of the preview rides.

Training is going smoothly. Im in week 7 (of 20) which is 4 swims 4 runs and 3 bikes. Ill do 4 bikes, 4 runs, and 2 swims, and 2 core/strength. Next week is recovery week, whew hew. I regret not being in better shape when I started the plan. Luckily Im not feeling any major injury related issues.

New BT takes some getting used too but its not bad at all.

I noticed no colas. I like a couple swigs on the run to calm my stomach. I REALLY like the chicken broth. When I buy it at the store It doesn't taste near that good . Good luck finding the bib numbers. I cant even find the participant list. Thats probably more me than them though. I think I'm ready for this thing. My only concern is what the swim conditions will be, but whatever they are we all will get through it.
