Longhorn isn't an Ironman 70.3 in 2007, but 2008 is a different year....

Florida 70.3 in May.  I've been thinking about it for a few days, but I've decided, I'm going to do it!

 Really....now that is very exciting and I'm going to keep my eye right on it...very intriguing indeed!

Probably one of two scenarios:

1.     Pacific Crest (Bend, OR) in June  AND Steelhead 70.3 (Benton Harbor, MI) OR Great Buckeye Challenge (Waynesville, OH) in August.

2.     5430 Long Course - Boulder, CO - August

While traveling to Oregon and Colorado would be way cool.  There's no way I could justify using all my vacation money and time devoted to triathlon.

We are taking my kids up to Newfoundland for a week for the 1/2 Ironman I signed up for. My oldest son will be 18 that week, and he is excited because he can have an alcoholic drink in Canada!!

It will be a fun vacation!!!

Does Wildflower Long Course (May 2008) count? :p (It is a 70.3 distance!) I'm in! Also looking at doing the Big Kahuna in Sept. 2008.

I think any 70.3 is a 1/2 Ironman, but maybe someone with more knowledge will let us know???

Yes, any 70.3 is a HIM...I guess what I meant to say was an "Ironman" Sanctioned event...Ironman has the 70.3 series that they sanction and several of the HIM are those, but not every Half-Iron distance is an IM 70.3 sanctioned event! Hope that helps!

Depending on how my Oly goes next weekend (which should be fine), then I will immediately sign up for my first HIM, FL 70.3.  That will give me plenty of time to get in a ton of training and it should be relatively flat compared to some of the alternatives.

I signed up for Muskoka as well. As soon as I saw the venue I signed up even though I haven't done a tri in two years. For whatever reason, I want to do an official M-Dot race just to experience what I hear is always a well run event.

I have some relays planned for Mooseman and Timberman (although this might become my first HIM) then Firmman among some others for next year.

Anyone got a preference?

Eagleman and possibly one other for me. I think it will depend on whether or not I try to sign up for IM LP 09.

Kinetic in April for me. Water temp last year was 53. Hopefully it will be warmer this year.

Doing the full at Redman in 2 weeks. Probably going to do the 1/2 next year for my A race. I'm very impressed so far with the whole race organization.
