Good luck you two! Helmet cam and full report on Monday! Okay, I’m kidding. :) About the full report on Monday, but how cool would it be to have a cap cam for the swim, a helment cam for the bike and a run cam? Just sayin. I hope you both do well! Avoid brats tho since it’s not going to be hot, maybe caffiene is okay? :)

If your pools are the same as ours (50M), isn’t 40 laps 1.25miles?

@ Lloyd: You need help, Sir. There have been great advances in the OCD/Nerd category.

If the water is going to be that cold, you might want to take your wedding ring off before the swim.

Good luck this weekend!

Echoing Clydesteve – the phrase also applies to me on so many levels.

Best of luck to you & the Runner at the Ironman!

1 secret Ironman fact that only the pro’s know -
You will be very surprised at the amount of water the human body can hold after a long swim. Hear the slosh, my friend, hear the slosh.

1 special tip – Helmet on as soon as you hit the transition area. Why? After a long swim, all the blood in your body will be in your shoulders leaving you quite top heavy. Bend over to put socks or shoes on and you might do a header into the bike rack. Just ask Natasha Badmann.

Here’s to improving weather. Go get ‘em.

“…just makes me look uncool in a different way…”

This phrase applies to me in a general fashion in just so many situations.
