Master  1790     Tyler, TX |  Subject: RE: Timberman - Half IronLaurenSU02 - 2007-08-14 4:16 PM Is anyone else so excited they just can't contain themselves???? Yeah, I'm so distracted I'm wasting all kinds of time at work thinking about the race and spending hours during the day on the web looking at BT, ST, Timberman, Ironman, etc. They should really block all the tri websites at work to keep my my productivity up. Wait....I'm the boss....I could do that! |

Veteran 249 Long Island, NY | Subject: RE: Timberman - Half Iron Did a swim at Elacoya early this morning. Water felt pretty warm compared to ocean back at home. There were a few local triathletes swimming as well and stated the water should be calm at race start (started my swim at about 8:30 and water was pretty choppy...local triathletes said later waves might have to deal with it, but normally lake is pretty calm).

| Regular 1025 | Subject: RE: Timberman - Half Iron lake's usually really calm in the am, gets choppy later due to boat traffic. Last year was the exception. The front came in, which made for a miserable day, weather-wise. Quite a bit of chop. We've been down there swimming in the early am, and it's been glass It's normal to be excited about the race. I know we are!!!!!! Truly, seeing everyone down there training every weekend gets us fired up. I usually run down to the park every weekend, just to see how many people are down there. It's pretty inspiring to us, to see how important the race is to everyone.... Good luck to all!!!!! |

Thanks for the update. I am swimming on Friday morning. I hope to get in there early, but can't say for sure as I am getting into town Thurs night and am not familiar with the area or anything. |

To have a class organization such as EnduroFun organizing races in the New England area is like gold for the local endurance community. BTW: Can I have "ShowMeURT!ts" as my race bib name?

Expert 938 Haddam, CT | Subject: RE: Timberman - Half Iron Groovy, me neither. Wasn't planning on it, but reading about it in the athlete's guide made me think twice. I don't think that this race is "long" enough to warrant me needing anything for that last 1-1.5 hours. Edited by lobstergirl 2007-08-15 6:47 PM |

The aid stations for the the run are pretty well stocked with just about everything you need to get through. I don't think they carry lava salts......but I don't think a special needs bag is needed. |

| Champion 6539 South Jersey | Subject: RE: Timberman - Half Iron Hey everyone, I'm heading up to NH now. I'm not taking my laptop, so I won't have BT access. I know how to get in touch with a few of you, so hopefully I can find out about the BT dinner if one is planned today or tomorrow. If I don't see/speak to anyone before Sunday, GOOD LUCK and HAVE FUN!!!! |

| Regular 1025 | Subject: RE: Timberman - Half Iron the special needs bags are only used by about 75 athletes, usually...It's just an added perk. We'll have endurolytes on course...Run aid stations have: Gatorade Endurance Formula Lemon-Lime, water, defizzed pepsi, clif bars, carbboom energy gels, pretzels, salt and vinegar potato chips, fruit, ice, and jelly beans. 4 of the spots have sponges, and there are 2 misting tents on course as well.... You'll be WELL taken care of!!! Good luck everyone!!!!! |

Expert 938 Haddam, CT | Subject: RE: Timberman - Half Iron Okay, I'm narrowing down choices for food... May I suggest Camp (in Meredith, Exit 23 off of 93), 20 minutes from Ellacoya (from the park), you take 11B through Weirs Beach/Laconia up to Rt.3 in Meredith. http://www.thecman.com/Menus/CMP/CMP_Dinner.pdf (or) closer to Ellacoya (12 minutes), but missing the fun atmosphere and menu, Fratello's in Laconia http://www.fratellos.com/dinner.htm Discuss... |

Veteran 249 Long Island, NY | Subject: RE: Timberman - Half Iron Did a swim at 7:30 this morning. Lake was flat and calm. Spoke to a few triathletes who were also swimming and once again all I heard was great things about the race. I have never been to any other race and heard so many people speak so highly of an event. I really can't wait to Sunday. Good Luck To All and have a great time. |
