IM FL 2008: Halloween, Dropped Off My Bike, Lunch with Dan and his Bro

Posted on October 31, 2008 by dshen

One day before Ironman Florida. It’s Halloween and all the triathletes are being silly, including our tour guide Ken: I don’t know where he got this mask of the grim reaper, but it’s pretty darn cool. There is a clear plastic layer over the skull face which connects to a handheld squeeze bulb which allows[…]

IM FL 2008: Preparing My Bike and Bags

Posted on October 31, 2008 by dshen

As usual, I gotta hand in my bike and bags the day before the race. Here’s my relatively fully loaded bike, ready to rock and roll: First, a little surgery on my wetsuit. I cut off a bit of the sleeves and legs. Now it comes off a lot easier! Whoo hoo! Next, I got[…]

IM FL 2008: My Powertap Still Don’t Work

Posted on October 31, 2008 by dshen

Today I took one last chance to fix my Powertap ZIPP Disc. I unscrewed the cap and carefully replaced the batteries. Then I brought my bike downstairs for a ride and unfortunately it didn’t fix the problem. Still the readings were off the charts. Major bummer! Time to send it back to ZIPP for fixing;[…]

IM FL 2008: TriMaven.com

Posted on October 31, 2008 by dshen

A plug for a buddy of mine who is developing a website for triathletes called TriMaven.com. He gave me this cool t-shirt to wear around at IM FL. Check it out – not sure if everything is working just right yet, but have a look. It’s got news, athlete and race profiles, social networking functions,[…]

IM FL 2008: The Pasta Party

Posted on October 30, 2008 by dshen

Tonite is the pasta party where we carb up with pasta of all sorts. We wear an ID bracelet which gets us into the dinner (but also identifies us if we pass out mid-race): Ken took me out to Radio Shack to get some batteries for my Powertap Disc and hopefully my mobile. We pass[…]

IM FL 2008: Ken Glah Raced 25 Konas!

Posted on October 30, 2008 by dshen

Oh by the way, I forgot to mention that Ken finished his 25th Kona race this last October. He raced a 9:44 on about 6 weeks of training. What a stud!

IM FL 2008: The Fun Never Ends…

Posted on October 30, 2008 by dshen

I just went out and bought some more dishwashing liquid. Amazingly, there are no 7-11s here but there is this Camper’s Inn which is basically a 7-11 for Panama City Beach. On the walk back, on a whim, I stop into that Oriental Market. Surprisingly, there were actual Oriental foods in there! Instant noodles, bags[…]

IM FL 2008: Breakfast, Swim, Beanie

Posted on October 30, 2008 by dshen

This morning our host Ken Glah showed us his culinary skills by cooking breakfast again: We all then went for a swim. Definitely warmer today even though I brought all my woolens just in case I would freeze coming out of the water: After the swim, I went for a short run. Legs felt pretty[…]

IM FL 2008: Got My Bike, My Lance Armstrong Moment

Posted on October 29, 2008 by dshen

At 1pm I went over to get my bike from TriBike Transport. It was a slow moving line: TriBike Transort was very impressive. It’s such a great operation to help with transporting bikes and your extra bags of stuff to races all around the US. I picked up my bike and wheel bag and got[…]

IM FL 2008: Shopping and Registration

Posted on October 29, 2008 by dshen

Last night I went through my things and found I forgot even more stuff this time! The official scorecard is: Digital camera Contact lenses Fleece pullover What a pain! At least I’ve got my contacts being fedexed over to me. Hope they get here ok tomorrow. In the morning off my balcony, the sun is[…]
