Guess my finish time and win an IMFL souvenir!!!!
Can't Post
So here's the deal, a member of my local tri club dared me to do this and I am not one to back down from a challenge.
I did IMC this year with a 10:55 on a sparse 10hrs/wk training. I'm now heading to IMFL in 3 wks however I've averaged 1.8hrs/WEEK training since IMC. Many reasons for this, the list is too long but here's where you get to have some fun. Guess/Estimate my IMFL finish time and I"ll mail you a "prize/souvenir" from IMFL for getting the closest without going over.(prize and shipping my cost)
Details, I'm 34Yrs old Male, this will be my 12th Ironman and my finishes over the years have ranged 13:10-10:26, so the question is really, how much will my impaired training over the last 8 weeks affect my fitness.
To win you must live in Northamerica (to keep shipping of your prize reasonable) and the closest guess without going over my finish time wins.
Hope everyone has fun with this one, I know our club is having a wicked laugh over it!
PS Did I mention I once ran a 1/2 marathon that had 2 heats, 1st at 9:00, 2nd at 10:30 and did both heats just so I could say I did a full marathon in February. Only known survivor of the UNOFFICIAL HYPOTHERMIC FULL MARATHON!!!!! same club member dared me there too ;)

i couldn't guess your time at all buTt from all the info you've provided, you're damn tough.
i have a friend of my brother who is an ex raam (race across america) pro cyclist who just did the ford wisconsin ironman with a finish of just over 13 hours so i i applaude your efforts.
i'll guess at 9:58.
It's not about the bike, it's just along for the ride.

crap, i'm baited now but if it were me who had done at least 12 ironmen events, i wouldn't be bragging about how your 'team' thinks your post funny. i think of you as weak.
don't like it? quit braggging about bullsh!t and post something worthwhile.

Either I'm simple or I don't understand Roadhouse's Jeckyl and Hyde responses. No disrespect anywhere intended. I am involved in Endurance sports for the love of the sport, it's people, and the fun of racing. I think alot of people have lost that along the way which is partly why I'm still doing this race despite my build being totally sidelined. I love the sport and the people and would rather be out there enjoying it than sitting on my couch watching it on the internet. So please enjoy this thread for what it is, a joke among friends, who wanted to share the smiles with the tri community, or do slowtwitchers forget that this is supposed to be fun.
Cheers

Races: I will complete the ride that almost killed me, as soon as I am able. After that, who knows? They don't book them that far in advance.

Now we're having fun!!! Prize will depend on what kind of neat item I can find at the race site. it'll of course have to say IMFL to be considered, and I'll stay away from clothes so that who ever wins isnt stuck with something useless.
keep up the great work!!!
and I like the 1$, nice!!!

lost fitness counterbalanced by easier course, race experience, and maybe some ego to stay sub-11....
I'll be optimistic for you and guess 10:52 ;)
