Hello all,
I am doing Ironman Canada in a few weeks and I'm very excited, and a bit terrified. I live in Nevada and have been training in the heat over the Silverman route and swimming Lake Mead. I feel great about the bike and run. After doing Steve Fleck's 100 runs in 100 days this winter I am a much better runner. Thanks Steve! I am nervous about the swim. Mostly where to position myself at the start. It is too warm to practice long swims in my wetsuit so I hope that doesn't come back to bite me.
Where would be the best place to start the swim? I found good info on the bike and run but not much about swim starts for IMC newbies.
Any temps below 100 degrees will be heaven for this desert girl. I heard last year was cold so I will be prepared for hot or cold.
I just want to finish and know what it is like to do an Ironman.
Thanks for any wise advice for a newbie.
