Has anyone found a direct comparison of the UT IM bike course and WI IM? I heard UT has big climbs but are the are tough at WI?

Saturday, February 6, 2010 08:16 PM Host: 37.sub-75-206-95.myvzw.com

It's filled ups as fast as a few hours. I'd suggest if you're in the area that you drive up and register in person. That way you'll be guarenteed a spot. If not, you're risking the online options and that's a gamble.
Good Luck

I'm planning on signing up in Sept. for the 2011 race. Can anyone tell me how long it took for this years race to fill up? Does it fill as fast as FL, or do I get a few min./days to get in? Thanks all!

Ok everyone...Let's get some life back in this page. We definitely need to help each other stay motivated...especially with snow on the ground and 6 degree weather. If you haven't started training, when are you going to start?

Who out there is trying an IM for the first time? Who has done this before?

Curios minds want to know.

P.S. I started my training this year with a Polar Bear Plunge in Lake Michigan on Jan. 1st. Yikes. Nothing takes your breath away more than that!

Sunday, January 10, 2010 12:25 PM Host: 83.sub-75-204-139.myvzw.com

Intensity! I've gotten comfortable with what I've be doing for so many years. With the higher intensity and the stresses on the body, probably incorporate more days off. Thats been a problem in the past.

Additionally, I'll try to work in more long distance rides (over 100 miles) and definately more running miles.

My best time is 11:16 and I'd really like to break 11.

And everyone else?? What are your changes for this new year?

Steve:
Read your earlier comments and as former flatlander now living in Colorado I can appreciate your indoor trainer rides. My one question for you is regards to your previous times and your goal time. What are you going to do different this Ironman to elicit a different outcome?

P.S. great to see some activity on this site. As one of the original posters back in 2002 it has been disheartening to see "the page" slow down over the years.

I read on the IM Racine website that the swim is point to point. does anyone know if you swim north or south. it would be nice to know where the waves will be coming from. I know it is not the ocean but waves can get bigger than the local pool.

It's the last day of the year and my official training season begins tomorrow. I've calculated the number of training hours I need to put in between now and Sept. based on bike speed, running pace and available swimming times. I haven't tried this before but if I come close the the goal hours I'll put in more miles than any year before. I know running, especially, I really need to increase the milage.

Since I can't bike outside and running is sometimes prohibitive, I'll still calculate in training hours on the stationary bike and treadmill if necessary.

Can't wait to get started!!

Steve seems like i decent schedule
i live in the netherlands and also starts biking in april outside. I do not
use a indoor trainer . I attend 2 or 3
spinning classes ( 1 hour session) each week.
MY run average is about 40 miles per week, and i bike each year about 6000 miles. Swimming 3 1 hours sessions each week.
Ironman time about 12 hours , best time
11.17 whwn i was 50 years yound , no 15 years later i am slower

So i think you are on the right track , in my opinion i do not think you have to swim 10 miles per week. the swim part
is comparing to the other parts ( biking
and running) much sorter so why spent to much time swimming

train safe

I begin my actual focused training in January. I log hours on my indoor trainer and keep track of swimming and running.

For biking, how many outdoor miles does the average triathlete ride? Here in IL, I really can't log many miles until April, and from April to Sept I try to get in 2500 miles.

Swimming is a weekly avg. of 10 miles and Running is 30 miles.

I'm creating a schedule of 4000 bike miles and 40 to 45 running miles.

My average IM time is about 12 hours. I've been as fast as 11:15 and would really like to break 11 hrs.

So, what's everyone else doing?
