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?

#636 Steve Subject: IM WI fill up
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 |

#635 Teggs Subject: WI signup
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!

Steve, here's motivation for you...come to our camp & break that 11:16 PR--in Boulder a week long camp that will donate to charity while you live & train like a pro (on the same roads as them too). We'll have a pro Q & A session. Please look at the site, you'll find it the best bang for the buck camp around--not just training...but LEARNING. Including testing done with Taylor Phinney's personal coach's lab team. It's going to be pretty awesome!

#632 CityGirl Subject: Let's get going!
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! |

#631 Steve Subject: Training
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. |

#628 Gus Subject: IM Racine swim
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.

#627 Steve Subject: Training
hard26run@yahoo.com
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!! |

#624 willem Subject: training
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 |

#623 Steve Subject: total training
hard26run@yahoo.com
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? Steve |

#622 Brian B.
Steve, are you asking total distance over the entire training period or maxim distance reached in training leading up to the race?
|

#621 Steve Subject: training
hard26run@yahoo.com
What is the average total distance trained for the IM in swimming, biking and running for the common age-grouper?

Interesting observation on the personality of the different race chat pages. Wisconsin is like Death Valley and Florida needs more server capacity.

#616 CityGirl Subject: registration for 2010
I can't believe I drove all the way to Madison to sign up in person b/c I didn't think I'd be able to sign up on line. I sooo could've signed up on line.
Finally it is sold out! Phew. |

Registration still open for IMWI? Now that's an economic indicator.

#606 frank Subject: pneumonia
frank.m@umich.com
with 3 weeks and 2 days till IMWIS I've been diagnosed with a small amount of pneumonia in my right lung. The doctor put me on Z-Pack and said see how it goes.
Anyone out there had a similar experience? How fast were you able to get back training? I'd hate to miss my 15th IM. |

#598 d2p
spent the weekend cleaning out the garage and moving the camper out so i could access the summer bikes. while moving the camper it began to roll forward toward the downhill slanting driveway so i ran in front of it a pushed HARD to stop it. feel kinda like i ripped my calves off in doing so. so not much running for me for a while. maybe time to work on the swim stroke.

#580: Violating the 20 minute rule,but in my opinion, Pigman 3 weeks out is the perfect "last long workout". Done it a couple times with no problem. I'd much rather do that than some stupid 22 mile run with no finish line and no hardware...
Yes, I'm back. Killing time on Jr's computer at his place..... he's still sleeping off last nights Hawks game. |

#594 CityGirl Subject: for the bling
So, I got into the San Francisco Women's Nike Marathon on Oct. 18th. You get a tiffany's necklace instead of a medal when you finish. I couldn't pass that up.
Is that oo soon after Imoo? Think I'll be up to running another 26.2 at that point? I could always crawl, right? |

Didn't get in a ride, made things dirtier and don't have a yard. |
