Sidekick Racer Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Since the Ironman thread was mixing it up with 70.3 talk I thought it makes sense to start a new thread just for the 70.3. Makes it easier to follow accommodation suggestions, tips and chit chat. So entries are selling fast, did mine today!! Less that 800 left..... Who is in already?
Bubblez Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Might be going to Nepal in Dec, so gonna skip 70.3 this year.But will be doinging the Big Daddy in April.
andydude Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I'm in, my first one! But coming from only road racing. Ok with running, but swimming might be a problem...
banna Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I'm in, my first one! But coming from only road racing. Ok with running, but swimming might be a problem... Don't tress too much about the swim. It's 10% of the race. Focus on the running. It's all about the run....
dracs Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I'm in. Will decide the evening after the race if I will do the full or not...
banna Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I'm in. Will decide the evening after the race if I will do the full or not... i did my first 70.3 and full IM this year, and I definately enjoyed the full IM a lot more than 70.3. But i guess I'm more of a "diesel engine" than a sprinter, so the full probably suits me better. Sidekick Racer 1
Milkworx Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I'm also in.....cant wait for my fist 70.3 Exited for the swim but worried about the 21k
banna Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I'm also in.....cant wait for my fist 70.3 Exited for the swim but worried about the 21k The run course in EL is not as flat as in PE, so beware...
bigjoe Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I'm in. Will decide the evening after the race if I will do the full or not... Don't do it the evening of the race! you never feel like doing it again. but the day after you are up for it again!
bigjoe Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Will be there with my wife, both going for our 3rd year in a row. Hope to have a good time, need to go and improve my time on my way to a 2nd full IM
dracs Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) Don't do it the evening of the race! you never feel like doing it again. but the day after you are up for it again! I was on such a buzz this year after my first 70.3 I almost entered the full that night... Edited July 10, 2013 by dracs Sidekick Racer 1
Sidekick Racer Posted July 10, 2013 Author Posted July 10, 2013 Can't wait for it!! As everyone says, it is all about the run... But some good bike training helps a lot to have good legs for the 21kms.
Red Zone Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Don't tress too much about the swim. It's 10% of the race. Focus on the running. It's all about the run....Respect the swim may be a more appropriate statement. Remember two fatalities this year (RIP). Do open water training, in some rough conditions if possible, train in your wetsuit as well. Dont underestimate a 2 km swim in difficult conditions. dracs 1
