Mike, Of all of the reports you've written, this one seemed the most powerful. Way to keep it up on the course, even though you paid for it later. Jamie...
I was not able to get into Ironman Florida as I had hoped. Their registration process was insane, and I got locked out after trying close to an hour to get...
IMNA does an awesome job. They really put a lot of effort into support, athlete and family care and gratification. I agree that it is a drag they fill so fast....
I agree. I competed in both IMNA and Chessieman (inaugural year, as you know). Both very difficult courses. Both exceptionally "fun". Many more spectators...

For the serious athlete there is no wall, but there is a twilight zone of the marathon that begins about 23 miles and lasts through to the finish. Everybody...
I think Aaron summed it up. IMNA are not the only folks that put on superb events. Rob Vigorito, Columbia Tri, and Eagleman fame can sell out an event like no...
For my $.02 my first IM distance race was ChessyMan and my second will be IM Louisville, so I'll get to see both contrasts back to back. For value, ChessyMan...

... It's probably worth mentioning that IM Louisville is not an IMNA (Ironman North America) event. It is being produced by WTC (World Triathlon Corporation),...
Wow! A WTC race in North American, interesting. Especially since WTC brought IMNA in to manage the worlds in Hawaii a few years ago because of the outstanding...
Another thing, WTC produced the 70.3 World's this year and they got race reviews--other than the rampant drafting which is virtually impossible to avoid on a...

You bet. In fact, I don't think it's even opened. Check www.tricolombia.org for details. Another great thing about this race (and another gripe I have with...

High of 14 today in Wyoming :) It was 7 degrees when I woke up on Thursday (5 a.m.), 15 when I walked into work (9 a.m.). Clear, windless, sunny. Truly one of...
Thanks Alex - for the explanation and the link. That explains a lot. I completely dropped out of triathlon after some 7 years in August of 05 (IMC). Had only...
I know what you mean Steve. Thank God my commute is 5K, if it were any longer there's no way I'd live in DC. It's funny you bring up the X-country skiing...
