We're picking up the RV on Thursday and spending the majority of the evening packing. I'm leaving work at noon on Friday and picking up the kid on the way home. Hopefully we'll be out of town by 2 and in Waco by 6 at a campground on Lake Waco about 15 minutes from the start line. Hang out that evening and head to registration Saturday morning. There's a group meeting at 7 AM Saturday morning for an early swim in the Brazos that I might join. I'm making a list of all the stuff I need to bring with me. I'm also taking the day off work on Monday so we can leisurely leave and head back to Houston. It'll be a nice getaway for the wife and kid as well.- Running / Triathlon Thread
Good deal. Get some rest!- Running / Triathlon Thread
Ohhhh man. I saw the splits at around mile 15 and I had a feeling you were bonking. I hear you on bringing your own gels. I’m bringing Gu and going to grab a few maurtens on the run. I’ll do Clif bars on the bike for the first two hours then switch to gels. That really sucks about the weather. How’d you get through the bonk? Fruit and coke? You earned that beer! Congrats again!- Running / Triathlon Thread
Big congrats to @Clintonaldo on completing Ironman Chattanooga! Great job dude!- Running / Triathlon Thread
17 miles into marathon at a 2:50:00. Keep going! 7 miles left!- Running / Triathlon Thread
Crushed bike portion at 5:30. Smoking that run at 7:55 pace. Keep it up.- Running / Triathlon Thread
Century done in 4:59! Go dude!- Running / Triathlon Thread
Cruising at 22.3 MPH, over 22 miles done on bike. Keep steady bud!- Running / Triathlon Thread
What time does the bike start? I’d like to see if I can stream it.- Texas vs. Mississippi State - 3:15pm on SEC Network

You got it! I did a 45 mile bike this morning. Felt nice. No run after. I’ll do an 8 or 9 mile run tomorrow then officially be in taper mode for the week. Salt intake and calorie intake was good this morning as well.- Running / Triathlon Thread
Good luck bud! Rooting for you!- Running / Triathlon Thread
Nice job dude! Regardless of what we’re doing, be very happy with yourself. That’s a great accomplishment! @Clintonaldo what’s the word? Am I checking the progress tomorrow or you bowing out?- Running / Triathlon Thread
Very sorry. It really is a kick in the nuts. Given that IM Florida is only 6 weeks away, might be tough to recover. The bike probably wouldn't be that big but combine that with two marathons would be very difficult.- Running / Triathlon Thread
Same here. You could do the bike and run and then sign up for IM Florida as well?- Running / Triathlon Thread
I think it's bullshit that they won't even offer deferment or another slot at a race that has entries available. I thought they did do that a few months back at another north america race. Maybe Oceanside?- Running / Triathlon Thread
What the fuck? Why? edit: just read the announcement. That really sucks man. Very sorry. 😞- Running / Triathlon Thread
I was thinking about what it's going to be like to cross the finish line in Waco. It'll probably hit me when I get to the finish line area. Granted, it's not a full, but the preparation required and commitment that I've given it and it all coming together is enormous. I've been training for this for like 7 months. I think it'll hit you. You're dedication to it and it all paying off. Enjoy that beer.- Running / Triathlon Thread
Good luck again. Be safe and enjoy the journey!- Running / Triathlon Thread
@Clintonaldo How you doin? Nerves gone?- Running / Triathlon Thread
You’ll do great man. I’ll be monitoring your progress. If they stream it, I’ll have it on. Rooting for you bud!- Prediction Contest 2024, Week 4, ULM @ Texas

Great brick session this morning. Took the QR off the trainer and went about 31 miles. Started around 7:15 and got nervous about traffic so headed home not quite ready to be done. I could have definitely ridden the whole race distance. This thing flies in comparison to my road bike. Went for a quick 4 mile run right after. Completed that 4 miles in under 33 minutes at 8:09 average. I really have to slow down right off the bike. It doesn’t feel like I’m running as fast as I am because my heart rate is already at 110-120 while on the bike. @Clintonaldo are you wearing carbon plates shoes for Chattanooga? I’m debating to use the vaporflys or the novablast. I’m leaning to vaporflys but I’m not sure. Probably won’t matter much as it’s only a half marathon but I’m curious as to your shoe selection: speed or comfort?- Running / Triathlon Thread
Got back on the saddle Monday after work for a short 45-minute ride. Did an hour this morning. Soreness in the legs feels good. "Surgery" if you want to call it that has done it's job. Knock on wood but I think I'm healed. Taking the QR out this weekend for a good ride on the road and keeping it off the trainer until after race day. I'm getting nervous. I know I'll do fine. I think it's more mental right now than physical. Doc said I can get back in the pool today so I'm heading to the pool in the morning before work to get a long swim in and knock the rust off. I'll be in the pool 3x per week until race day. It's nice to be full go again. Just gotta get through another week of hard training then taper it out. Already done my long runs and long bricks. I may do one more shorter brick (25 mile ride + 6 mile run or something) before race day just to calm the nerves. - Running / Triathlon Thread
