Extreme Veteran 660 Texas | Subject: RE: Oilman (Ironstar) 2012 - Who's in? I'd love to do this one, since I heard great things about it last year. But, it's the same weekend as the NYC marathon and that's where I'll be!!! |

Master 1468 Montgomery, Tx | Subject: RE: Oilman (Ironstar) 2012 - Who's in? I am on the fence, but I did do the last 2 races. I will be there raceing or voluntering since it is only 10 miles from my house. I may try to get my wife invloved and let her run the 1/2 as a relay. I think it will hep her get into gear since she will be running her first marathon in March. |

Member 30 NW Houston / Tomball / Cypress | Subject: RE: Oilman (Ironstar) 2012 - Who's in? Exactly, keep the wetsuit on until about the 1/2 way turnaround on the bike, it started warming up around then.. |

Had a great time last year even with a stress fracture but wouldn't do it hurt again. Hoping we both stay healthy. One of the many nice things about a smaller race is you don't have to decide 9 months in advance. |

Member 65 Tyler, Tx | Subject: RE: Oilman (Ironstar) 2012 - Who's in? I really want to do this race because it is close to my in-laws and I have heard it is a good one, but I will be at IMFL as a stripper and rooting on my training partner. Have a great race! |

ha! Still going to be going up to Montgomery a lot this summer. I'll drop you an email when we start so you guys can join us. And hopefully it won't be freezing like last year! Dave is doing Oilman so I need to pay him back for all the rides he did for IMTX training! I'd like to do the race but have Rev3 70.3 in Sept, followed by Redman 70.3, and then the Rev3 Anderson SC race in October. Pretty sure I will be burned out by the time Nov and Oilman rolls around! You been getting any swimming in? |

Expert 2547 The Woodlands, TX | Subject: RE: Oilman (Ironstar) 2012 - Who's in? I've always wanted to do this race but the timing never seems to workout right. I will probably be swim sponsor again so I will be there, but coming off a full less than a month before. Maybe I can fill in a relay if I can't do the whole thing. Of course, if it's as cold as it was last year I won't get near that water. |

We understand if you want to slip that in there periodically! The water was the warmest part of the day last year! I'll be doing Longhorn in October, so with Oilman only two weeks later I may not be 100%, but it's too much fun to pass up. |

"Hey everyone I'M GOING TO KONA a few weeks before your race. If I can recover FROM MY RACE IN KONA I might want to join in, but I could be too sore from DOING THE IRONMAN IN KONA, HAWAII". I think you're right about the water being the warmest part. I can't imagine getting on the bike in that weather. I couldn't keep warm that morning with a huge coat and winter gloves. forget about being soaking wet riding a bike in that. brrrrrrr. |

Galveston was hot! IMTX was pretty bad also. I am ready for some cooler runs!!! I guess that is what we get for living in Texas! |
