Hope Bjorn can break back through with this one. I’d really like to read his impressions of that bike course.
Local (WI) pro Lauren Jensen may be someone to watch. Her racing has been very solid, her run improving…and she has a Rich Ducar bike fit!
If it’s hot…1706 finishers. If it is not…1956. The bike course can destroy you in the heat…
Mark - You only get on guess on the number of finishers - weatherman says it will be in the high 70’s on Sunday. Z
Didn’t want to give me an over/under on the temp eh Tom?
OK… I’ll go with the higher end of things if it stays in the 70’s Lets go with the year of my first Kona finish… 1991!
Tom - Are you coming to Moo country?

Although I’m cheering for Bjorn. Should be interesting to see his set-up and 2 cents on the course…
Yes - I’ll be in Madison on Tuesday. We have the Gatorade morning swim starting on Thursday.
I’ll also be announcing the race with Mike Reilly - my favorite part of the event is going out to Verona and announcing the bike course!
See you this week. Z

Hey Z, how does announcing the bike course work? I’ve got a few people coming to cheer, and we were unsure whether they should try to trek to verona to see me a couple of times. What goes on out there?
Can you believe that no one else has picked me as the winner? What are all of you thinking!?!?!

I’m not Tom…but he’s probably driving a truck today.
Verona is basically a big town party to celebrate IM. There is about a 1 mile stretch of town that will be lined with around 40,000 people. (Although I find that number a tiny bit high). Although centered around IM, there are some carnival rides, food stands, a few art booths, etc. If you have friends/family watching your race, it would be a nice venture…either by their own car or by the IMNA buses.
