Digg! this story.
Hey Dave, is the Silver Man Iron distance race in your neck of the woods? I am considering doing that race this year.
that’s my backyard… I ride that bike route pretty often (though the full iron distance bike goes out & out & out before the turnaround). The run is sort of a suburban double loop for the full iron. Swim in lake mead - nice.
I’ll be doing the half iron distance. if you are going to bother getting in shape for this, you may as well run the seattle marathon as well. I’m signed up thanks to you!
register by 8/31 for current prices…
Well, I am not sure if I’ll really “be in shape” for it… but I guess after proving that I can ride my 42×14 fixie for 204 miles at my current fitness level, that I am “in shape enough” to still go the distance.
I am about 90% certain I’ll sign up for this race.
Any recommendations on what the best accommodations would be? It looks like there are a couple of hotel/motels about 5-10 miles away from the start line. Not sure if it’s worth trying to be close.
