4th IM overall, last year at IMC the folks said this is an awesome venue & race, so went for it this year.  Looking forward to it.

I am in for 2013!

This will be my 5th IM.  Looking forward to getting to know some of you during training and hopefully meeting up in Cozumel!

You can still register.  Go to ironmancozumel.com and click on register, then you have to click on the active.com link in the middle of the page.  I just followed it through to be sure.  But, yep, age group registration is still open at $650.

Anybody booked their hotel yet?  

I've had a lot of recommendations for "The Palace", but haven't reserved anything.

Thanks for the suggestion ~ I'll look into it!

Eeeks that sound awful. I hope you both are healing well.

Training is going well. Living in WI we are still having winter weather (rain, chance of snow, and cold temps). Thankful I like my Trainer so well.

Really looking forward ending my season with Cozumel and chilling on the beach when I am done

Not really training for Coz just yet.  I'm running a marathon in two weeks and then plan to start a training plan for Racine 70.3 (July 21st).  I haven't biked since October....LOL!

I did a 30 week training plan for LP last year, which was WAY too long!  Since Coz is so late in the year, I didn't want to get started TOO early.  For me, that can (and has) caused burnout/fatigue problems.

Weather pending, I may get my bike out for a ride tomorrow .

Which marathon are you doing?  I'm doing Kentucky Derby (Louisville) in two weeks.  I see you are from Nashville, so thought maybe you might be doing the same one....

I competed in IM Coz in 2010.  My direct flight to Cozumel was changed as my connecting flight was late into Houston.  The three of us had to fly to Cancun instead.  We were all lugging along our bike cases.  We took a shuttle from the Cancun airport to the ferry drop off point.  You have to walk a little way through the shopping area to the dock where you can purchase a ticket.  This area seemed safe as there were lots of US tourists and locals with families around.  The boat ride was about 40 minutes.  When we landed there were lots of taxi's around.  In my opinion this is a more adventurous way to travel to Cozumel but should be okay with kids.  If you are unable to fly directly into Cozumel this is a good option.  You may also want to check out Mayair as they fly from Cancun into Cozumel.  I reserved a round trip flight last year and the cost was $110.  I hope this helps.
