I am doing my first IM in AZ this year. My goal is to do another next year but I don't want to sign up for next year before I complete this year. With AZ being the last one of the year, won't the others be filled up already by the time Nov 22 rolls around. Any advice?
Do you want to do a different one or do you want to do IMAZ again? If IMAZ again you could just wait in line with everyone else the next day. If other, I think IM Cozumel is about the same time and that took a little while to sell out so you could do that one.
Are you open to the idea of an independent iron distance race? Those tend not to sell out a long time in advance (if they sell out at all), so you could make a decision on one for next year after IMAZ.
