Ironman Austria!




Hey Gang - we'll try to keep you informed of our adventures at Ironman Austria! and post a few notes on this blog.



July 2 - fly to Amsterdam, then Luxembourg, then Vienna. July 3 Train to Klagenfurt. July 4-7 get ready. July 8 The race! July 9 Train to Vienna July 11 Train to Bologna July 15 Fly to Amsterdam and back to Canada.


We are fairly certain there will be a live video feed at http://www.ironmanlive.com/ all day on Sunday. If so, Klagenfurt is 6 hours ahead of us, the race starts 7 am Sunday July 8 (1 am Toronto time...so when you wake up Sunday morning, we should have finished the swim and will have been on the bikes for a few hours). Expect us to finish between 13 and 15 hours...that's between 2pm and 4pm Toronto time). I'll try to have a cheesy grin on my face as not to disappoint any of you - as usual...Barbara will likely hop, skip and jump at the finishing line!

What do you eat before a run?

Question re: early morning runs.

What do you do with regards to eating and drinking (i.e. coffee that is) when it comes to early morning runs. Do you get up extra early to have something to eat or wait until after the run? How much time do you generally leave between meals and a run? Is coffee in the morning before a run a good idea or should you wait?

Thanks, Cam
