2012 IM Cozumel Week # 12
Just starting to fire the discussions up as we are at week 12/20 and its getting hot in here!!!
On a serious note how are things going?
Going good here and getting the workouts done. I'm actually training with Randy Pickard who is training for Arizona. Nice for me not really building but pushing a fellow EN member.
Today we hit the bike then ran. I then knocked out Wed scheduled swim cause I'm working in the ER and will be tired and relax after my shift ends.
Ive never been to Mexico, never packed my bike in a hard case and been raped over fee's so I have a lot to learn. It's my understanding we can't pack CO for tubes and must purchase them at the expo.
If you have been here please fill us in on things.
Thanks

Besides that setback, I've been frustrated with my long runs or lack thereof. I just haven't been able to do any in the extreme summer heat ... doesn't say much for my IMCOZ ability. But it dropped down to 71 this morning and I changed my schedule to get 15 miles in. Finally!
I put a note on the dashboard re Shaughn Simmons. I found him on linked in and connected. Yes, he's coming and will be with us. He's training well except for his running. He had to take a week off and had a MRI that shows a permanent tendon injury that will keep him from running fast for the rest of his life. But if he stays Z1/Z2 then it's OK.
CO2 - check posts by Kathy Carribe on Slowtwitch. She's an IM ex-pat who lives in Mexico. There are CO2's available for purchase and not just at the expo. She's recommended a local bike shop for anyone who needs help.
I just put a deposit down for a hotel in Sweden next summer. The one thing I hate about this IM business is how early you have to pay to get what you want.
Gotta go do an easy spin on the trainer now. Keep it going!
