Training Race / Recovery Time

LanceAndre — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 02:32:27 GMT

I've gotten some emails from folks regarding the Triple D race... for a race that's say 8 hours (bikes), 5 hours (sky/run)... where would you want that in your training schedule prior to the Arrowhead?

For me I thought the two weeks out was ideal (some have said 3 or more), give me some feedback.

270 miler?

charlie — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 20:35:47 GMT

It would be fun to up the ante a bit for next year? Like for example, have the Bikers start at the finish, ride to the start and then turn around and head her back for a 270 miler? Itz just an idea? It would be a heck of a challenge...of course the logistics would be tough...but I am an "ideas" guy, a theorist

Pierre is starting his trek on bike to Nome today. I heard Mike Curiak is on his way to Nome, too, about the same time.

2008 Year of the skiers

Cherieo — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 20:06:25 GMT

This was a great year for the ski category in the 2008 Arrowhead. A skier just won the Susitna 100 as well.

We had 8 skiers participating and 2 people broke multiple records--Phillipp Finzel of Indiana and local Bria Schurke of Ely, MN. Ron Kadera, Phil Rogers, Jim Reed and Chuck Regenold all performed great as well.

We had a tough group including Alicia Hudleson who skied despite recent ankle surgery and Matt Maxwell the Myrtle Turtle, inexperienced at skiing, but decided to try skiing for the first time instead of riding bike.

We have never received a race report from a skier before, so we would love to hear your ski stories and advice. It is not necessary to finish the Arrowhead to write an interesting report.

Susitna

Cherieo — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 19:27:20 GMT

Sarah Lowell has been competing in the Susitna yesterday/today as part of her Arctic Slam. The weather has been warm and the trail has been slow going and only one skier finished so far, no bikes.

Here is a link to the results page. They finally show that Sarah is back out on the trail after only an hour or so. It looked like she may have stayed there, but there is a time lag on the updates.

Update: Sarah finished in 44h 15 min. Congrats, Sarah!

Frostbike

Cherieo — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 01:27:09 GMT

Pierre went to QPB's frostbike today. They put " Toughest man alive" on Pierre's name tag.

http://www.frostbike.com

He saw Joel Cahalan, Josh Peterson, Mike Riemer, Terry Brannick, Dave Gray and Pat White. Pat White looks fine but keeping his arm immobile. He said he is friends with the Yoga Slackers and they are planning to come back next year.

Dave Gray and others are camping out in the parking lot tonight. I think Dave is really the toughest man :)

Training Info?

mikeriemer — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 19:22:49 GMT

If any of you foot racers would be willing to share some of your training info, I'd be thrilled to learn more.

What kinds of training are you doing?

What kinds of hours and distances are you putting in?

What's the buildup look like?

Thanks for the help.

CAF Charity

Cherieo — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 15:18:50 GMT

We would like to keep our event small and grass roots feeling, but we would like to figure out a way to get the larger community more involved and raise money for our charity (Challenged Athletes Foundation) or other local charities...maybe the local hospital since it seems to be our new checkpoint this year. :)

We can start in Tower and finish at the International Falls hospital. :)

Any ideas?

MP3 Players (radios)

Spencer — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 23:59:51 GMT

I saw a note that MP3 players may be banned in 2009. May I ask what the issue is?

I personally log 12 to 15,000 miles per year on a bike with a radio or MP3 player. To be safer, I keep the volume down and only put the ear bud in the right ear (the left ear is free of the headphone to listen for other traffic such as cars and snow machines).

During my long distance rides, I often listen to weather reports (weather radio) since I live were tornadoes and severe storms pop up with little warning. I also admit to loving music and cycling seems to be one of the few times I can enjoy it without frequent interruptions.
