Ironman Florida : Official Thread (Page 60)

the anchors stay in place year round. They've got little, tiny white bouys attached.  This morning you could see the line going out.  We found what we thought was the turn bouy about 700 yards out.  Personally I think there's one more, but we couldn't see it.  The bouy is about 1/2 as big as a person's head.

If it's calm you can probably find them.

Dinner Tonight:

If you want to eat with BT folks how about we find a place in the left wing of the hall.  (left if you're facing the stage).  Sort of far out so that folks who come for just the meeting can join us?  I'll wear my blue BT t-shirt like Sue was wearing for the swim this morning.

To all my fellow IMFL athletes out there, good luck!  I wish I was there with you this time...the weather looks great.  You will all do fantastic!!!  Can't wait to read all the reace reports next week!

Randomly, last  year, then night before my IMFL race, this link popped up on my facebook.  For those of you looking for some last minute inspiration.....prepare to be inspired...

Good luck all!

They'll never know you weren't there.

Read your racer's guide (for the rules and stuff they covered).  use your head.  watch where you're going. watch for traffic, and other people.   hint for the day: be encouraging of other athletes, makes everyone's day better.

SN bags drop off is at Alvin's island - run on one side of the street, bike on the other.  be sure you put the right bag in the right box.

I think that about cover's it. oh, no drafting on the bike. 

you can leave your shoes attached

 Not sure what the prediction is for tomorrow but remember to let the day come to you!  Excited to cheer you all on  

Best advice you can give.  Don't fight it, just go with the flow.  If you have to slow for a while, do it, you'll make it up when you turn the corner.

Same with the swim.  If you get boxed out, slow for a second no need to fight your way through.  Save your energy. 

Now if going for a podium, never mind

Duane

Good luck tomorrow, everyone.

^^ Like Ken said.

Have a great day and enjoy - especially if this is your first.  Take some time to look around, this is a pretty cool thing we're doing!

Good luck everyone tomorrow!

tomorrow:  swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, run 26.2 miles.

It's just a swim and a bike and a run.
