According to the website there will be 3 aid stations on the bike.  I think there needs tp be more.  Hope that is a misprint



Don't worry. This is IRONMAN. they will not skimp on aid stations, especially with a hospital as the title sponsor.


or maybe they will.. to ramp up business

 I was really good to hear the news first hand and be at the meeting last night. Good to see every one there. Really excited about this and ready to sign up if every thing works out to make it happen for me. I agree that the library presentation was the best Good to know that it is not a rumor any more.

Words cannot express how excited I am. I had trouble sleeping last night I was so pumped.

It's about time the area got something!

Any word on the Race Director? Keith?

Yes! x10!   Thanks for keeping the information highway open! 

This is an awesome thing for The Woodlands, for Texas Triathletes, the Houston area and everyone that has shared in the drama of following this rumor through to fruition!

I am in!  Money is there and my fanny will be firmly planted in front of the computer as the clock strikes NOON!  This is gonna be the biggest Tri party of the year!

From an article on ultimatewoodlands.com this morning:

The race director will be produced by Keith Jordan of Austin, who has managed several other Ironman events.

And the grammatical errors aren't mine...that's how it is printed. 

So....KEJ....can we finally thank you for helping bring an IM to Texas after all the speculation the past year or so?

Yup, I'm the RD Really excited about creating this event.

It's going to be awesome!!! The bike course will be great, as will the run,venue, and a unique swim
Regarding aid stations: they'll certainly be every 10-12 miles on the bike....

Obviously, we've been tightlipped about everything, but the planning for this has been going on for quite some time.

Was in the Woodlands for meetings yesterday, and drove the bike course again, to start the work on volunteer and aid station placement.

Truly, this is going to be a GREAT event. The venue and courses will be fantastic!

Now, off to Galveston for the day, to work on some IM 70.3 TX stuff

Get ready to sign up on Friday!

Am I crazy to register if my longest swim is one mile, bike is 65 miles, and run is 7 miles? I was planning on doing Lonestar, but this changes things.

Well I have been looking at a schedule for training for this event and it is going to take allot work and help from others to make this happen for me,( being that I am a single father) and it looks like I have the support and can make every thing work for me. So it looks like my first IM will be the Woodlands   I am very happy and excited to do this

Awesome news!  Now that we know Keith is the RD we can official say it will be a great event!

Hey Keith - nice job on rope-a-doping us the last 4 or 5 months on this!

I think I am a bit unbalanced mentally.  I am sitting here in tears...part fear but mostly excitement especially now what I know there will be more than 3 aid stations on the bike

Seriously, now that I know KEJ is he MAN, I know that this will be the premiere IM in the COUNTRY!!

Makes that $1200 investment (for me and the Doughboy) a little easier to put out.
