My 1st Ironman, second year in Tri's, I did Steelhead last year and didn't die so I thought I would step it up a notch. LOL I come from a running background and really enjoy the variety of the Swim, Bike, Run. If only I could swim better... Looking forward to meeting you all, stay warm.
My first ironman as well. I did Steelhead last year too - great race.
Chris / Lauren,
We should plan some training rides / runs, looks like we are pretty close to each other. Have either of you ridden the Joliet Bicycle Club 66 / 45 / 30 ride on the 4th of July? I do most of my riding on Centennial Trail, definitely looking for more routes this year.
Chris, Your race calendar looks exactly like mine...

And I'm up for a trip to the IMWI bike course anytime anyone wants to go. I love that course and get so bored riding around home.
I'll be at the race to get my Four Keys, Team Dinner and Coaching on!
In my opinion, Ironman Wisconsin remains the most challenging bike course on the North American Ironman circuit.
EN has a long history with Ironman Wisconsin:
In short, we, as a Team, know IMWI inside and out, and you're in the right place to learn how to execute in Madison
Rich,
One on the many reasons I am here, already signed up for the camp and I will be ready to rock & roll.

I am signed up for IMWI, this will be my 5th IM. I am from N.CA (San Francisco Bay Area), I have a 17 year old son and I have been married for 22 years. I am a software sales rep. I have been an EN member since 2008.
I recently discovered mountain biking. I like ultra running and marathons as well. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone. IM WI camp is still up in the air for me right now. I am coming back from shoulder surgery - I should be fabulous in the water (not).

This will be my second Ironman, IMKY 2010 was the first. Looking forward to the event, have heard great things about the course and the atmosphere.
Mark
Hi,
This will be my first IM. Aiming to do well, although I have no idea about my possibilities. Doing Triathlon for a year now, so still learning. Living in Cleveland, Dutch nationality.
Xavier
Hi All!
IMWI will be my first IM distance. My training has slacked this spring, but I'm hoping to make up for it with a solid plan for the summer. The goal is to finish. I'm in Ann Arbor, MI.
Tom
Time to sign in.
Ian Kurth from Wausau, WI (2hrs north of Madison).
Getting ready to race Door County HIM next weekend, then it's time buckle in for my third showdown with IMWI.
It's a great race, and I'm excited to return. Good luck to everyone during the next several weeks of build!
Hello, 2014 fellow IMoor's Joe Motz here coming back for an encore. Ran it for the first time last year with a goal to finish as that was my first IM. Back again this time to see how much improvement I can bring to my getty-up. Last year I did Racine and the EN WI camp prior to,,loved the camp but felt the Racine was a bit too close to all for me, just didn't feel like I had recouped between it and camp and then the big show. This year I changed it up a bit with doing Muncie on July 12 (week earlier). Learned a lot more, mainly what not to do which I plan to put into practice.
Hope to meet many of you at the camp and if not definitely on Sept 7th.
home is Cincinnati Ohio
Buckeye (that's for buddy Ian Kurth who hails from somewhere up north
wife Jane and adult kids Michelle, Eric and Nick will all be back to root on all ENers.
You got the HAIL right! HAIL HAIL to MICHIGAN! GO BLUE! See you in Madison dude.
Sounds like a wagger is being called for:
THE Buckeye Nation against that somebody up north. Maybe most improved time reduction over last yrs. IMoo? Looser has to purchase and ride the other school gang colors for 1 home group bike ride or one of our days at 2015 EN bike camp. Pic's on EN's dashboard required or it didn't' happen.
What say you Ian Kurth?
