Plan B Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 One tip = make sure you eat on the bike! Makes a big difference on the run! Good luck and welcome to your new addiction!
Snafu Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I'll be there. I second the eat on the bike tip, I used a anti-reflux pill to curb nausea (spelling) as you eat while basically lying on your stomach and it helped me a lot. I was sceptical as I don't like using meds while doing any events. Train with the supplements and food that will be available on the day. Enjoy!!!!!

ADe Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I really want to do it this year, but I am worried about not having time for the required training. I am doing my second 70.3 in Jan and the training is already a lot to manage between running my own business, spending time with wife and daughter etc. How much more training is needed to just complete IM compared to 70.3?
DawieO Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 What are good places to stay in PE ? T1, T2, massage tent, beer tent. In that order.

Hiya How much and what do you take on the bike? I then have a question for those that just focus on a 'finish' .Is full IM achievable with, post 70.3 a 'dramtic increase in training'? ThanksBrentP.s. You can more or less guage my fitness and idea by this posting (http://www.thehubsa....00#entry1899267) Edited January 7, 2013 by bclark
