| Subject: RE: Lake Tahoe IM sold out! Wow...that's amazing. Looks like there was a huge demand for a California IM again. ETA: I wouldn't be surprised if they add another west coast IM in the near future. Edited by tri808 2012-06-19 1:32 PM |

ETA: I wouldn't be surprised if they add another west coast IM in the near future. I think this partly shows WTC that the May timeframe for St. George was a big drawback to folks who live up north. September is much, much better for us training-wise. |

Does anyone know how many general entry spots they had? Honestly, I was really shocked it took that long. I was warning tri friends on FB over the weekend not to wait if they were really interested...predicted it would sell out sometime Monday. |

X2!! I've got four friends who are doing this race and to say I'm a bit envious is an understatement!! I'm looking forward to volunteering for early registration next (next) year... |

| Master 2460 | Subject: RE: Lake Tahoe IM sold out! I'm still just amazed that so many people have enough time to train for IMs that they sell out regularly. I feel like I train a lot and I'm not even close to intermediate IM training volume. |

IM training in volumes of 20+ hours has gone the way of the DoDo Bird. You can have a very successful IM race with 12-15 hrs. It's about training smarter, not harder or longer. |

I agree...most of my Ironman training does not even go over 15 hours for the week. (more like 12-14 with a couple barely going over 15) I think I have one week where I'm at about 19 hours, but none over 20. I plan on finishing in 12 hours which is perfectly fine with me. |

Veteran 293 Somewhere training in Rocklin, CA | Subject: RE: Lake Tahoe IM sold out! I'm fairly local and train here regularly. The swim will be great, the run from Squaw to Tahoe City is uphill but not unbearable. But a portion of the bike scared me off from registering. Instead of biking around the lake which has some fairly significant hills of it's own, they chose to route it through Lahanton up past the Ritz at Northstar and then back out to 267 and over Brockway Summit twice. I can handle the long grind over Brockway but the ride straight up the ski slope to the Ritz is not something I can comprehend in a race. Call me a big weanie but I'm going to volunteer for the first one and hope they change this portion in subsequent years when I plan to register. I look forward to seeing all you hill climbers blast up this hill...twice! |

This will be IM #'s 4,4, and 6 for three of us, but the first Tri ever for the one holdout. :DI'm in it solely for the swim and run. The bike will be decent too though....I just love swimming in that lake and the bike path we run on it awesome. |

Extreme Veteran 565 Silicon Valley | Subject: RE: Lake Tahoe IM sold out! Can't wait for this race! The midnight finish at Squaw will be epic. If anyone is interested in buddying up for one loop (nice & easy) of the bike course on 8/3, shoot me a message. I don't want to do the 267 descent solo. |

Veteran 170 Heber City, UT/San Carlos, Mexico | Subject: RE: Lake Tahoe IM sold out! O MAN!!! Why do they get an awesome trip out a tree lined bike path for the run??? I feel like the course planners for St George short-changed us. Its a friggen awesome area too! |
