Champion  7163     Verona WI--Ironman Bike Country! |  Subject: Spirit of Racine....Looks like SOR is going to open for registration in early November and heard back that it is NOT going 70.3 this year. Anyone else doing it? or is it too early to think about it? Suzy |

Veteran 249 | Subject: RE: Spirit of Racine.... So they are planning on sticking with the 70.0 or 69.9 or whatever poorly measured distance they come up with again? Regardless, I'll be signing my wife us as soon as registration opens. She started talking smack about beating my time as soon as I finished last year, no back peddling now. |

Master 1732 Delafield, Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Spirit of Racine.... Well I WAS thinking about finally doing this one next year and then they went and scheduled it on the same day as Tri-ing for Children's. So probably not. |

So probably not. Interesting that they did change the race to the folloiwng weekend. Anyone know why? I race Door County and they've been on the same weekend in the past. Hmm, maybe back-to-back HIMs this year? |

Pro 4089 Without house | Subject: RE: Spirit of Racine.... It'd been my intention (since I missed this year) to do SOR in 2010. Then I had to get all engaged and plan to move before then. So, instead I will be doing Jersey State Tri Oly. If they don't turn it into a 70.3 by 2011, I might come back for it, as I'm anticipating signing up for IMoo 2011. |

I simply said that I thought I could do that! Geez, men! |

Regular 81 Waukesha | Subject: RE: Spirit of Racine.... How do you know it is not going to be a 70.3 next year? The SOR website has been down, since people started saying this event was purchased by Ironman. |

Expert 932 Madison | Subject: RE: Spirit of Racine.... I'm thinking of doing the HIM too. Will be a stretch at my current fitness level, but I have time to prepare, right? And a really dumb question, what is the difference between this and a 70.3 race? I'm lost. (The website isn't working for me either.) |

Extreme Veteran 722 Madison-ish, Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Spirit of Racine.... I think some people were saying they didn't measure the course right and therefore it was slightly short. I heard that the swim was short for sure from several people. |

(The website isn't working for me either.) 70.3 is just a trademark. World Triathlon Corporation organizes Ironman and Ironman 70.3 branded-events. 70.3 is the same distance as a half. |

| Veteran 585 Kenosha, WI | Subject: RE: Spirit of Racine.... The date posted is July 25, but the site is down and the rumor mill is busy. I've heard it's sold, not sold, sponsor problems, ect. I hope the event stays in Racine. I'm really looking forward to this race. |

Master 2099 Madison, WI | Subject: RE: Spirit of Racine.... Seriously - they're adding an Irongirl? Hm..... me thinks me may get free entry into irongirl division..... I definitely want to do SOR this year, and I seriously hope it's not bought by 70.3, because I way prefer hammer gel to power gel (blech). Though HEED I can do without. |
