  • Enduradad The GFT Tribe Kerry, I plan on doing a marathon early spring. Don't know which one yet because I want to see how things go during the winter. I think either Athens Ohio, or Knoxville TN. with my brother Cliff. I also think I need to do some sprints. I've spent the last couple years only doing full IM and that's made me really slow. I may be able to find a training partner for next years GFT. There are a coule guys locally that are interested in doing their first. Anyone out there who can give a report on the Bike and run course? They look great compaired to 2009. Still wondering what the timing problem was?

    • KARDid a half marathon this morning. I did excactly what I set out to do: keep the heart rate down to 125-135 and treat it as a training run. High humidity, upper 70's. Saw some real neat gadgets. I was running next to a woman who had a device that audibly calling out splits and distances. But with her ear buds on, I don't know if she heard it, but it was really cool. A fellow next to me was also chatting away, calling out splits from his gps watch. Maybe I don't get out much. Anyway, all of the chatter from everybody seemed to fade past the halfway mark. Had a good time, ran into a few triathles, good conversation. Good way to start the day.

    • KARSorry for all the typos. Maybe I should put my glasses on while talking!

    • KARMaybe the "tming thing" is about the people that did the sprint race and getting their splits mixed in with the GFT.
      I tried to tape the Hawaii IM yesterday. I do it every year. Couldn't wait to pull the tape and watch it. When I pulled the cassette out of the recorder, the tape came out with it. Guess I'll have to buy the dvd on-line. Or wait til next May and tri again.

  • Enduradad The GFT Tribe I hope you have a great Thanksgiving. Next Monday will be the start of my core training. I ahve a P90X set my family gave me and I think it will be a great winter workout. Looks like we have good numbers for next year. See you soon!

    • KARI hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving.
      Do we start off-season base now that we've had a month since GFT? And Tri season is over for most of us? I know that we're not supposed to be doing marathons as part of the off-season. Maybe that is true for an elite, but for a back-of-the-packer like me, I don't think it's going to matter. Next up: a half marathon in Weston in two weeks, a Parkland Five Miler, a 5 or 10K in Miramar in January, the A1A Marathon in Feb. Looking farther ahead, may be doing the SouthBeachTri in April, to start things off. Way too early to start thinking GFT. I've eaten two race entries in the past-Hurricane Wilma and plantar fasciitis- and the last one was pretty hard to swallow.
      But GFT 2012 is still the "A" race goal next year.
      Mike, good luck with the P90X. Keep us posted.

  • Enduradad TriMark Mark, What happened during the swim at GFT this year?

    • KARE-Dad,
      Didi you get an answer to your "swim dropout"question? I checked the results, too, I'm thinking it may be a timing chip thing. For example, Mike Horn and Adam Kalker show as not finishing the GFT swim, but they are finishers in the long course tri in the M 25-29 division. Must be a mixup.

  • KAR The GFT Tribe Congratulations to all who made it to the finish line this year! You completed your journey on one of the most demanding IM courses around. It was YOUR day, so kick back and enjoy your accomplishment. It's OK to have that grin on your face, it'll be there for awhile, you earned it. Geez, next up:race photos!

    • EnduradadLooking forward to racing with you! Just finished B2B and after Thanksgiving I'll start working on a winter base/core. I really hope we can get a good group of people to do the race with.

    • KAREDad,
      I missed the race this year. Over a week before the big dance, I came down with chills and aches. Turned into a wicked bad cold. I canceled hotel and notified the staff that I would not be there. I almost cried. Almost. I didn't want to announce it on the forum, I wanted everyone to stay focused on the positive. (Sigh) Another year before the next one. I guess I can stare at the countdown clock. I have a few races coming up for the running season, so I can refocus on them, and not dwell on what was lost. See you here next year? Let's hope so...
