Re: Ironman Florida 2012
Going good. Completed 2 70.3's, a Sprint, and Olympic (just did swim and bike in the oly due to a Achilles injury I'm letting heal) so far.
Ramped up the training this week for IM. From here till Nov it'll be high mileage time.

Any type of supplements you take?

Re: Ironman Florida 2012
Nothing too crazy. Mostly try to use real food for everything. I take Hammer Endurolytes on long workouts, especially in high heat. I'm about to ween off of GU and PowerBar's lieu of real food, but that's hard because those processed foods are just easier to eat on the bike/run.
Other than that, I take fish oil, Osteo Bi-Flex, and a multivitamin daily, and Glutamine after hard workouts.

Re: Ironman Florida 2012
Good luck, completing an Ironman is a great accomplishment!! They are also very addicting, I competed in both the 2012 Saint George IM and the 2012 Louisville IM!
Maybe the 2013 Florida, If I can get in. Please let us know how it goes?

Re: Ironman Florida 2012
You may want to look at Endurance Max Energy Gel. It has all the carbs and electrolytes that you need in one easy to drink gel and it doesn't mess with your stomach. They actually have a flask that will get you thru an entire IM. Good luck.

I was at IM Louisville this year. My friend Laura raced it.
Next weekend it's on! Can't wait. I'm ready to get down there and get with it.
As for nutrition, I'm not a fan of gels. I have Infinit drink mixes I use for the bike and run, as well as a small amount of solid food in my special needs bags.

Re: Ironman Florida 2012
If I were a distance athlete I would try this stuff:

I wouldn't recommend trying something new this close to an event but you may want to try it in the future.
It looks promising.

Good job. One of the surgeons I work with competes in the Iron mans, over 50, he usually finishes in the top. His name is Larry Black.

Re: Ironman Florida 2012
I was far from the top. I think I was 113th in my age group.
I really don't see how people run those marathons with a 6-7 minute pace after pushing hard on the bike for 112 miles.
It was an awesome experience though. I'm only doing 70.3's next year, but plan to do another full in 2014.
