Expedition Man Triathlon - Ultra Course : Official Thread

Well, I am officially signed up for this race.  It will be my first Ultra Distance race, and I am looking forward to it.  

This is the inaugural endurance festival and will be Northern Nevada's first Ultra Distance Triathlon.  I chose this event because of it's location (only a couple hours from my moms place), the price (much less than Ironman events), and the month it is in happened to coincide with the training plan I selected.  

Any else going to this event?  What number "ultra" distance triathlon is this for you?  Why did you choose to do this particular event?  

Hope to meet some fellow BTer's at the event.
