Ironman Question

[firenze11]

I just picked up Triathlete Magazine. I'm strongly considering starting to do tris and in a few years I dream of doing an Ironman. (A lot of a few years )

Anyway, it was packaged with a magazine called "The Road to Kona and Clearwater" and has a information on Kona qualifiers. It lists the date, costs, deadlines, slots for Kona and '07 results. It also goes into some detail about what the swim and if wetsuits are permitte, bike, and run are like as well as weather, nearby bike shops, best restaurants, and best local attractions.

Actually, the Australia one sounds pretty great. CrazyCanuck, maybe I'll be down there in 5+ years.

Good Luck finding the right one for you ALCR!

DH did IM FLorida in 2007. As usual, I volunteered at the race. The night before the race at the volunteer meeting, they announced that the volunteers would have a special line to sign up for next year. They made a few changes in the sign up process at this race and this was one of the new ideas. I recommend volunteering if you are going to be there anyway-it could pay off!
Also, the swim in the gulf was great. I swam the course on one of the practice days and swimming is my weakest link.
