I'm signed up for IM Arizona, heard it was a good race, doing IM Lake
Placid in July, hilly terrain compared to Arizona.
Anyone doing Lake Placid?

Has anyone heard anything about this race?  Looking for an Ironman
distance race for March/April 06 and would appreciate any intel on this
or others...



Thanks!

Hi - This will be my first triathlon - there's a whole group from NYC with Team
in Training
going down for the Florida event so keep an eye out for the purple shirts!

Finally, we should make arrangement to try to find eachother down their.

I checked the list and there like 120 NYC people going down to do the race.

Jose:-)

Anyone going to the Florida half Ironman next weekend.

José:-)

We have a new open water swim race to look forward to this year.  The
Grimaldo's Coney Island Mile. It should be a nice addition to the
various other openwater swim races around NYC.

You can register for it at

http://www.active.com/event_detail.cfm?event_id=1229532

More information about the race can be found at www.cibbows.org.

> I did Ironman Florida Last year. I am not so sure about that " FLAT " part.

>>>From the IMF web site:
  The bike portion of the event is extremely flat and fast, although wind can
play a factor in
the race.

>>>I guess flat is a rather relative term, so you may be right. I just know that
some
people like to exclude IMF out of the personal record list, because finish times
are usually
way faster than other IMNA races. I heard the topo chart is something like this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  (Don't take the last two comments too seriously).

One other point that may be way more important. Find training partners that have
the
same goal. It's always hard to train when everybodys elses moves into off season
mode.
IMF is in early November? Lonely Saturday morning bike rides to Bear Mountain
are not so
much fun.

Best

Stefan

John:

Will you be around this weekend?  I was wondering if I
could still borrow your wet suit.  Thank you in
advance.

John,

I've never done IMF, but my experience is that you shouldn't underestimate a
"flat" race.
Although faster, it doesn't become neccessarily easier because of this.
Eagleman is another good example for this. I usually spend literally +/- 99% of
my race in
the aero position, and get out of it only on very steep hills or in order to
relax my muscles.
Without hills, strong head winds etc. you may end up aero for the complete bike
leg,
cranking the very same cadence for 6hrs.
The best way to train for this (although quite boring) are long 3 hrs+ rides on
the trainer
to strengthen your muscles and your mind.
At the end, I still like it flat and fast.You will be flying in the sun shine.
And what's nicer
than this? Congratulations on your sign up. Keep us posted.

Stefan

Inspired by my trip to Wildflower I signed up for the
flattest IM that I could find. I took a Community Fund
spot at IM Florida on the basis that the profile is
very un-Wildflowerish....

Any advice from past participants on anything (course,
transport, training, accommodation) would be great.
This will be my 1st IM.

Is anyone else doing IM Florida this year? 12 spots
remain if anyone would like to join me.

John

Very nice interview:

main page.

Looking for ride to/from Eagleman:
Anyone leaving Friday night?
In exchange for my company and $ for gas, my homestay has agreed to let you
stay there as well.
Only 1 thing:  Natasha Badmann will be there as well.  Natasha stayed there
last year and is staying there this year, too.
Save $ on a hotel, and the hosts are awesome!  I've been going there since
2000.
I'll have my bike and a small duffel bag (I'm not racing).
No joke!  E-mail me at jasontrabinowitz@...

I'm sure many of you already read this article in the Science Times
(Tuesday).  I personally thought it was interesting since it teased out
the science and logic of the blood doping test administered to Tyler,
it's ramifications, accuracy and potential flaws, and (im)probability
of errors in a nice package.  It still leaves things in the air and is
relatively inconclusive, but still a good read for everyone--both
supporters and detractors of Tyler and will give new room for pause.

We just received notice from one of our major component distributors
that Dimension is recalling all of their 130 degree rise stems.  Over
18,000 units have been sold since January 2003.  The stems may crack or
break during use, which could lead to serious injury.

If your stem says "Dimension" on the side, and you're not sure if it's
a 130 degree rise or not, go into any bike shop and ask them to check
it out.

I'm looking for a good road (not tri) bike with a top tube true
horizontal around 53cm (center to center works too if top tube is
angled at zero).  Contact me offline if you're selling!

I totally agree with the procedure and think it's for a great cause. So far as I
know, the
money goes towards the local YMCA.
I was just wondering what it meant if qualified athletes actually could sell
their slots and
what that price would be.

...but, with a good accountant, I'm pretty sure the $33,400 are somewhat tax
deductable
as well (community work etc). So at the end of the line...

Stefan

Stefan,

Does this mean that you have to claim winnings equal
to $33,400.00 on your income tax return? Don't
worry--I think the tax only works out to half of that.

I think the nice part about the nyc-tri club races is that you will find people
of ALL abilities
there. A lot will do their first race (I did) and a hand full of very fast
racers will show up as
well.
So it's a good place to begin and compare yourself.

You should do it.

The bike course for Queens Biathlon which is being held on Sunday May
15th is on the Cross Island Parkway.It begins at the Grand Central
Parkway exchange & goes up to the Throggs Neck Bridge. The loop is
done twice. Up until 3 weeks ago the road was in absolutely terrible
condition. I thought that it was unsafe especially at the very fast
downhill leaving the transition area. I even went so far as to put a
call into Dan Honig, the race director who I have known for many
years. Well, either Dan is well connected or very lucky because the
road has been repaved. It is beautiful, smooth & fast. Pump up your
tires to the max. If any of you are considering doing a biathlon
(duathlon to the rest of the multi-sport world) then I would recommend
this race. The run is challenging through the hills of Ally Pond Park.
I will probably be there watching since I live a short distance away
and maybe we can even have a post-race get-together.

Amazes me!
On the other hand, if you  don't have to train your butt of for a whole year (or
more than
that!), and use all these training hours spent working, the price may actually
be a pretty
good deal. Considering 1000 annual training hours x (put your rate here)...
Altough, I guess one still have to  give proof to be able to handle the
distance. I  think the
folks at IMNA require the completion of a half -IM in a certain time limit.
I wonder what would happen if people could officially sell their entrys. What's
the limit to
get weak? Don't ask me :o)

Enjoy the smell of spring on your bike rides.
