smilford - 2010-05-24 12:02 PM I hear that they are going to do an Ironman sprint race. Something like a 500/12/3 with 1800 people and a mass swim start!

Only they are going to call it Amica 19.7

sort of.  not for the news but to see what the excuse was to bump it this time.  "thursday". come on now.  we can do better.  how about someone call txdot and see if anyone has submitted an application for use of texas right of ways.

like the new avatar erin.

There wasn't much feeling involved for me, personally.

a little frustrated here as well. what I have heard is that it looks like the date may be moved to Oct. I was also now told a June announce, but if the race is a year from oct, they have all the time in the world to announce. If I hear anything firm I will let you know.

I personally think Oct is BAD timing...definitely can't draw a good pro crowd as all the good ones will be at  a "little" race in Hawaii.  Temps wise, I think April and May are likely to be less hot than Oct, unless it's late OCT, but then it's just so close to IMFL/IMAZ/IMCOZ...and there's that whole "hurricane" season thing....

My hopes are fizzling, and looks like I'll be signing up for IMCdA '11 here soon for an "early" IM and I'm going to most likely be doing IMAZ with a non-prof team I'm working with....
*sigh*

I agree with Brittany. I can't imagine why they would put an IM in April/May or October with the 2- 70.3 races so close. December, January and February are the only months that I want to do an IM in Texas.

Is it just me or is it hard to get excited about racing an Ironman in the Woodlands?

If it happens I just hope it is before I pay for IMCOZ for 2011

Thanks Too bad it's now sounding like I won't have a new one this time next year from IM Woody!

I'm torn on how I feel about the timing, I'd personally prefer not to have to train on the bike in the winter. But like Brittany said, the fall IM season is pretty full already.

I sure hope something is announced soon.  I bought a house up in North Spring just so I can be closer to this race...

I'm in the same boat, I have to sign up for Brazil within ten days or it will sell out, but if there's a new IM in Texas I'm definitely postponing that one until 2012. I'm anxious to know!

how about

i heard they are relocating IMFL to IMWOODY due to the spill. 

probably the most realistic case at this point.  of us getting an IM that is.  ;-)

I think the race needs to happen if only on the strength of the IM WOODY moniker. I'd enter that race just to get the shirt.

If we really were enterprising, we'd start our own non-branded IM Woody as mock tribute to all the speculation!  A bunch of us show up in Woodlands on a somewhat cool morning in Feb / Mar 2011 and take it from there1
