ironman prospecting

now that boston is checked off the 'to do' list, it's on to an ironman. since they can take up to nine months to train for, i'll be looking to the 2010 season to take one down.

during my initial research i have discovered that is extremely hard to register for a WTC Ironman Series race (most people recommend going to the '09 race to sign up for the '10). i'm still a broke-ass college kid, so flying to a place just to sign up for a race is a bit extravagant for me. i'd prefer to spend that extra travel/ lodging money on a sexy tri-bike.

instead i have been looking into some iron-distance races, and here is what i've found (all dates subject to change for '10 schedule)...

retarded californian

this was the conversation i had with a dude at the bike shop here in imperial beach:

me: hey man, i can't get the bead of my tire to go around the tube, can you figure it out?

him: i dunno man, probably not if you can't.

me: don't you guys have any tire tools that could fix something like this?

him: did you try putting air in it?

me: yes. the tubes bubbling up because the tire's wire bead isn't wrapping fully around it...

him: wow man... that's trippy

me: /disappointed sigh/ is there ANYTHING you can do?

him: i don't know what to tell you man. like fill it with air and work it with your fingers or like a tool or something...

me: okay. bye.


that's what i get for taking a road wheel to a dude who works on fucking cruisers all day. i hate you cali bike shops and your ugly fat-tired bikes.

Armstrong Surge Comes in Early Tour Surprise
- JULIET MACUR, Pub: July 6, 2009
LA GRANDE-MOTTE, France — With the wind whirling and whirring across a vast marshland during the Tour de France on Monday, Lance Armstrong did what he thought was natural. He pedaled to the front of the peloton just before the course turned.



For Armstrong, the seven-time Tour winner riding for Astana, it was the right move at the right time.

“I was just trying to stay up front, stay out of trouble, and then it happened,” he said later, after walking off his team bus with a huge smile. “It was good positioning, experience and a little bit of good luck.”
