I wanted to learn more about bigger races. I have done a few smaller ones and have fallen in love with outdoor racing. I read about the dipsea race about 10 months ago and have had an itch to go for it. Any tips?<br />TennilleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-26889610337079339282010-05-05T05:37:29.862-07:002010-05-05T05:37:29.862-07:00Well done Scott, no one deserves that spot more th...Well done Scott, no one deserves that spot more than you for all you give back to running and the great outdoors.

It is at the end of August. I know you have access to the top trainers, I hope you make Hawaii your goal race and post some training logs!I really have no idea where to start, other than run lots, swim for an hour 2X every week and build up to 4-5 hours on the bike.Diggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07891765052264006700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-15311714932284653062010-04-27T17:37:53.758-07:002010-04-27T17:37:53.758-07:00congrats on winning the lottery to Kona! good stuf...congrats on winning the lottery to Kona! good stuff!<br />http://fortheloveoforegon.blogspot.comForTheLoveOfOregonhttp://fortheloveoforegon.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-64324236846584297872010-04-27T15:27:12.705-07:002010-04-27T15:27:12.705-07:00Wow, so exciting!

Sounds like it will work out great- swim during your recovery, then ramp up the training through the summer, then taper, and the fun begins!<br /><br />You might find this post interesting- it talks about the freakishly high fat metabolism required to overcome the "metabolic impossibility" of having enough fuel to run a fast marathon in an Ironman. http://www.endurancecorner.com/Alan_Couzens/win_ironman_hawaii<br /><br />Good luck, and I'm looking forward to hearing all about your training, etc.<br /><br />CynthiaDrs.

Congrats!<br />As for lottery Gods - I am #1 on wait list for MMT100, and have a week to go before the entry list finalizes, but yesterday was last day they gave back registration fees if runners cancelled.

I checked your result on Monday night and thought you had another run with your friends up there and taking it easy before Big Sur. Little did I know.
