Vineman Full Ironman : Official Thread

I'm thinking about it....

Just do it..    

It will be fun...   

I'm tempted too but will not commit for a few months.  I am still recovering from IMAZ.  Just have no spring to my legs yet.

We seem to like the same type of events... IMAZ was great fun.  I will sign up next year (2011 race) although I would love to be there in 2010.  I am looking at Vineman as my lead candidate for a 2010 race. I am also planning a 50k this year.  I am hoping to do the Ohlone Trail 50k in Fremont this spring.  Good luck with your training.

I'm in! Will be thrilled with a finish--and if I end up aqua biking it, that would be cool too!

Yay..  you will finish...   I know it..    
It is going to be sweet..  
 

I need another person to sign up together to get the "3 for the price of 2 deal." If anybody wants to signup let me know sowe can all save some MUULA

I am planning on it also, but its dependent on a lot of things.  2009 wasn't kind to me so hopefully everything comes together quickly and I will be able to do this race...  My training schedule starts tomorrow.

I haven't registered yet, but I'm in.

First ironman.

I think I am going for it.  My other two IM options conflict with family commitments and besides, Vineman is so close to home.  

So a question for anyone who has done it before:  How do race morning logistics work with the start being in a different location/town than the finish?  I will probably need to stay overnight the night before the race.  

Any recommendations for a place to stay for two kids, wife, and nervous athlete?  The host hotel has a three night minimum.  I just want the night before the race to save a two hour early morning drive. Any help would be appreciated.

 I did IMAZ last year and a couple IM's in the eighties as a very young indestructible guy.

This user's post has been ignored.

I'm in as well. Any suggestions for a close hotel to stay at that's under 100 dollars a night?

Ok..  guys... It is going to be an awesome day...   How is the training going?   

A friend and I are looking for a third person to register with to take advantage of the "buy two get one free promotion". Anyone interested in joining us?

I may have someone.

Hooray; I'm in, I'm in!! And bringing 3 others to race with me!! First time IM, first time Vineman, so I'm stoked!! Hitting 40 for my long rides...

That would be great, let me know if you have someone.

She said as long as it fits into her schedule she's in. Currently she's on a bus coming back from a Fargo XC meet, so hopefully I can let you know tomorrow.

Cool, I'll wait to hear from you.

She's in. You can reach her at [email protected]

Thanks a lot!

I'm in too!!!  Woohoo!!!!!
