GSNieP Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Any other Hubbers crazy enough to do it this year?! Started my 12 week Ironman training on Monday and will either be super fit or dead on the 22nd of April
mrmed Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Not only crazy enough to do IMSA, but to follow it up with Joberg2C, 5 days later, followed by Comrades and 70.3 World Champs in Vegas. missd and Comeback 2
Lucky Luke. Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Jesus h I need another beer after reading that
mrmed Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Speaking of Joberg2C any other teams looking for a Physio? We taking ours with (yes, she's hot and beers are included).
gummibear Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Not only crazy enough to do IMSA, but to follow it up with Joberg2C, 5 days later, followed by Comrades and 70.3 World Champs in Vegas. How long after Comrades is World Champs?
mrmed Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 According to my coach, not far enough! 12 weeks! I told her Africa is no place for Sissies. Now I just got to get a Kona slot to really make things interesting!
gummibear Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 That is crazy...why not drop Comrades and go for a good race at WC?
mrmed Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 That's what my coach says. But the way I figure it, is that unless I go to the US and spend 2 months acclimatising to the weather, I'm not gonna win it, no matter how much faster I get. I'm no spring chicken, so finishing all these races is my challenge, this year.
bclark Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Just becareful hey. My cousin (a Biokinectist for Cape Cobras), has a friend that did Two Oceans full Marathon, Ironman, and then blew up at Comrades. Else I wish you all the best.
Thug Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 That's a tough schedule mrmed, I wish you the best with it!
Grantc Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Speaking of Joberg2C any other teams looking for a Physio? We taking ours with (yes, she's hot and beers are included). Mrmed - more details on your physio - might be keen - see you in heidelberg & in PMB (giving PE a miss this year)
The Saint Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I will be at IronMan 2012 and I thought I was a bit nuts to do it so soon after the IronMan 70.3 but mrmed has outdone us all
hboli4 Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Attempting my first Ironman (actually first triathlon) this year. Looking to finish and just enjoy the day. Training have been going well (reaching my personal goals) and might actually go for a sub-13, which would be equal to a new course record if I was Raynard Tissink ...
mrmed Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I will be at IronMan 2012 and I thought I was a bit nuts to do it so soon after the IronMan 70.3 but mrmed has outdone us all Laughs, actually I'm quite enjoying racing / taking part in events this year after racing only 4 times last year. I was chatting to a friend this morning at gym and we were saying how nice it is to take part in a lot of events. She says she's going to do some Tri's as a team with her boyfriend where they each do their weakest disipline as fun events to take the pressure off (she won her AG at IM 70.3SA). Did the JoburgCity Tri this weekend and am thinking about doing the Prestige 70.3 on 19th Feb and Buffelspoort 70.3 on 11th March.
mon-goose Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 think I need to report this thread to the administrators, there are some crazy people here.....mrmed...
