Imky - Triathlon Week

Great news! The IMKY course has been announced. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

This inaugural event looks like it's going to be fast. The one loop swim will start into the current and favors a push to the turnaround and a coast back. Whether the swim will be wetsuit legal is still questionalble. The bike course does not look particularly challenging with what appears to be gradual climbs and a nice 20 mile down hill at the end. Temps are expected to be mild at 70-85f. The run looks flat & fast and should lend itself to some good marathon times.

So... after next weekends 70.3 it'll be grind time with a few weeks of recovery and 3 months of hammering. Bring on the IRON!

Scott, I'll be watching this weekend on Ironman live for you. Tear it up and have a great time :).
You already know you can go the distance so go for a PR in Ky.
Later.
Spike.

Thanks Spike. As usual, life rears its ugly head. Today's organized pre-race training swim was uneventful and relatively fast for me but I have a cold I'm struggling to shake and a nasty cough to go with it. I don't expect it to kill me Sunday though. Thanks for the support!
