 Swim
Comments: water nice and warm. sarted to rain a little, but that stooped after the swim What would you do differently?: stay more to the outside. rounding the bouys and the end of the first leg were a slugfest.  Transition 1
Comments: as soon as we got out of the water they had volunteers to pull off our wetsuits. A great thing! Altough the run back to transition felt like a marathon in itself  Bike
Comments: Beautiful course but hard course! What would you do differently?: train more Transition 2
Comments: Volunteers were great! As soon as i got off my bike a Volunteer took it from me and racked it for me!  Run
Comments: tough course. I ran for twelve minutes and would walk for two. turned out good. I endded up passing a lot of people towards the end of the run. Post race
Warm down: limped back to my hotel room with a wide smile on my face! Event comments: Great Great race! They treat this race like it was another olympics! The whole town gets involved. Tough course for my first ironman but i don't regret it one bit! i also have to give props to the training plan I used here on beginner triathlete. the program worked out great! I finished feeling like I had come prepared for an Ironamn Last updated: 2006-07-24 12:00 AM

Member 30 Plainsboro NJ | Subject: RE: Ironman USA Lake Placid Yup. I looked and looked for a training plan on the internet and couldn't find one that didn't set me back at least $400.00. I come from a marathon background and had no trouble finding free training progrqams( Hal Higdon, great site), but ironman and triathlon programs in general were hard to find at a reasonable price. Got my gold membership here and followed the program. It worked out great! |

carbo loaded and waited for the race to start. Ironmans are different from other races I have been involved in. We had to be there early friday and sweat it out until race day on sunday. Times aren't up on the internet so I can't get age group results yet.
No warm up needed I had all day to warm up! By the way my wife is marta I'm Matt
