Regular  5477    LHOTP |  Subject: IMLT shapen up to be a doozySnow and overnight cold temps. Ugh. That's a tough way to start a looooong day. Thinking about you racers--stay smart and have a great day! You will most certainly have stories to tell :) |

Master 3205  ann arbor, michigan | Subject: RE: IMLT shapen up to be a doozy I'm looking out the window right now and watching the snow fall. By morning the forecasts call for a brisk, but pretty nice day. Running a marathon in the mid 50s to low 60s should be nice. The swim and bike might be a little eye opening  The current plan is for an full IM that I will be telling stories about forever. Hope it really happens...... |

Regular 5477 LHOTP | Subject: RE: IMLT shapen up to be a doozy Good luck guys! "Spudone" Bib 2114 (Mark) "Wannabefaster" Bib 1782 (Jason) Who else here on BT is racing today? Word is 37 degrees, low wind, and sunny. Patchy slickness on the roads, but that should be cleared up by the bike.

Master 8247 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: IMLT shapen up to be a doozy Watching with interest....It's reminding me of my first HIM attempt, when the upper reaches of the bike got snowed out and I wimped out of the swim and switched to the du. Air temps in high 30's and water temps in high 50's is nasty for the uninitiated--speaking from experience. Hopefully everyone has the necessary gear ready and is able to go through with it despite the cold conditions. Note to self: If it ever possesses me to do an IM, never ever sign up for IMLT. Love high-altitude running and Tahoe is glorious, but I would freeze solid in those conditions. |

Apparently, it's not 37, it's 31. Thinking of the swim makes my teeth hurt. |

Glad I could help :) I'm at work doing an experiment with lots of down time. This couldn't be better entertainment. I'll be here all day... I was just looking at the swim times for everyone. Plenty of really fast swims. Lots of women right around an hour. Daaaaang. Verity Breen (45-49 F) laying down a 51:30 swim split. Cripes! |

Regular 5477 LHOTP | Subject: RE: IMLT shapen up to be a doozy just notices that out of 19 female pros who are listed on the start list, 4 don't have swim times. Does anyone know if that means they DNS or if they didn't finish the swim? Only 1 of the male pros doesn't have a swim time. ---- I guess it's now 45 at T2 and already 60 at some of the lower spots on the bike. That sounds pretty good... |

Regular 5477 LHOTP | Subject: RE: IMLT shapen up to be a doozy That second peak in the first set of climbs is dropping the male pros to below 9mph for that 2.2 miles split, women are about 7-7.5 mph there. Woooo-eeee. |
