I emailed them in early May...the reply I received was "late May to early June." I'd like to think it will be soon!

I'm IN!! Just registered and started the "race thread" as well.

As for the bike hills, check out the profile on the official website: http://ironmancalifornia.com/files/2010/09/Oceanside70.3_BikeEleva_2012.pdf

I did a 1/2 Iron distance race last month that had about 6k of total elevation gain, this one is "just" 1,600 feet! Wink

No idea how long this will take to sell out, but I know last year I took too long to decide and it was sold out when I finally had decided to register....

Honestly, I don't think it will....but you never know these days.

3 days?  What's WC smoking these days???    Hopefully you get to race it next year Dusty.

As for the hills..  Well, they're honestly not that bad, and they only last about 15 miles.  Problem is people either don't train hills or hammer the first 25 miles then die on the backside.  This bike is really two different courses.  Frontside is relatively flat and fast with a tailwind usually, backside hilly with a headwind.   And the first big hill is visible from a looooong way off and is a lot of elevation in a short space.  it's pretty darn steep. 

Train your hills, don't think "it's only 1700 feet of gain, no biggie," most of that 1700 feet comes in just a few miles.

Oh, and swim in cold water too

Still not sold out.....probably due to the fact that it doesn't qualify for Vegas.  Good luck everyone

You mean kona, right? Oside has Vegas slots. The 3 day sellout thing was WTC hype. That race doesn't sell out until september ish
