Luckily I live near an Ironman race. I can actually drive 3 hours to Madison. This makes it a much easier. I think the hassle of flying, packing your bike would add a large amount of stress.
So I get up there on Friday to the Double Tree, and canÂ’t check in yet. I park my car at the hotel, and make the 10-minute walk to “Ironman Village” and register, pick up the race packet etc. One interesting part is there is a “weigh-in” for the unfortunate medical problem. They use this number to determine whether you are dehydrated or are suffering from hyponitremia (spelling?)(too much fluid, not enough salt). It kind of makes you go whoa. You are totally freaked out, nervous, excited!
