Whirlpool 1/2 Ironman

Any one out there doing the Whirlpool 1/2 Ironman this Sunday? This is always a hard time for me because I don’t do any training for at least four days before an event like this and I always get very antsy. This is my first time for this race, anyone do it last year? What did you think of it? It looks like Sunday is going to be hot. Not so good. It’s been such a cool Summer we really haven’t had the ability to acclimate to the heat. Oh well, can’t control the weather. The lake has been really yo-yoing too, last Friday it was 74 than Tues. it was 50 now it is back up to about 69. When it comes to Lake MI it’s best to bring all your wetsuit options. Good luck to everyone hope you have a great race!

Hi NormM,

Check the Steelhead thread on this forum- it is all about the race with valuable race insight from Ken Mantei who set up the bike course.

Good luck and see you there!
