Yes, your legs are sore; you have blisters and rashes in places that only a post race shower can discover; and your statement of “I’m never doing another one of these again” are all becoming a distant memory.
Don’t act like you’re not thinking about it. Who’s in for 2018?
I'm in. Rumor has it that there may be a @John Withrow appearance
Shhhhhhhh.... It's not officially official yet. But I will say that "If" I dive in, it will be on a proper Tri Bike. It will be curious to see if @SteveBoer's or @ScottDinhofer's bike split will beat that of a fat man on a Fat Bike 3 years prior. Just sayin'
6:06:24----thats a great big negative here. i'm going into the OS with a 220 FTP Even if i got down to 180 lbs and FTP up to 250W, i'd have to ride at ~210W. that'd still have me riding at a 0.84IF. 6:45 would be 167w at 180lbs.
Your retirement lasted as long as Michael Jordan or Brett Favre. Welcome back amigo! Look forward to cheering you on....happy to meet up in Madison for weekend on-course training if we can coordinate.
Looks like a rolling start for the swim, as opposed to waves or mass start. I am referring to the IMWI facebook video. Also indicated that the old course may be back?

Tremblant '14 i was 190 lbs and my NP was 140w
those numbers are based on the calculator at https://www.alancouzens.com/blog/Power.html that pretty much nailed my tremblant results

Thanks for the email and keeping me in the loop. I had to move my IMWI race to 2019 due to a medical issue.

According to "the plan" camp week is the weekend of Aug. 4-5. Anyone interested meeting in Madison?
