Veteran  740    The Woodlands, TX |  Subject: RE: Ironman Texasse7930 - 2010-11-16 3:53 PM clintfun - 2010-11-16 2:36 PM Does anyone know of a nice hotel within walking distance from race start / finish? Host hotel has been sold out for a while and just thinking I better get something locked in so one less thing to worry about later... No Camping within walking distance, but I was looking at the KOA campground outside of Conroe. It appears the bike course runs right by there on the way out and its not too far on 105 across to where someone can see you on the way back into town as well You may want to look at http://www.woodlandlakesrvresort.com/ for RV camping. My parents drive a land yacht, and it's where they stay when they're in the area. It's on 242, about 5-minutes from the race area. Don't worry about race day parking. It's not going to be any kind of issue. Town Green Park where transition will be is located next to an outdoor Pavillion, which has a capacity of 16,000+. You may have to walk 5 or 10-minutes to the swim start, but it won't be any big deal. |

Extreme Veteran 1986 Cypress, TX | Subject: RE: Ironman Texas Good point about the parking. I forgot the transition area was next to Cynthia Mitchell Woods and not over by North Shore Park. |

Elite 4235 Spring, TX | Subject: RE: Ironman Texas I should know this already, but is Lake Woodlands open to public swimming? IOW, can I do my open water swims there once the weather warms up in the spring? |

IOW, can I do my open water swims there once the weather warms up in the spring? No, no and a big no. I've swum in the lake before, but the risk is getting arrested. We swam from someone's house so it was a bit hard for anyone to track us down. |

Expert 790 Frisco | Subject: RE: Ironman Texas Quick question. I heard a rumor that wisconsin is going away and the ironman texas will take its spot in 2012. Any truth in this? |

Extreme Veteran 1986 Cypress, TX | Subject: RE: Ironman Texas Boogie7247 - 2010-11-18 12:42 PM Quick question. I heard a rumor that wisconsin is going away and the ironman texas will take its spot in 2012. Any truth in this? Are you talking about the date? Scheduling an early-September Ironman in the Houston area would be borderline criminal. The average temps are in the 90's for that time of the year. May is bad enough, September would be brutal. |

Veteran 101 Earth | Subject: RE: Ironman Texas I posted on the thread liniked above a while back and just found this one today. I live just down the road from the course and will be training out there on the weekends a lot between now and then. I'll post any useful course info here. I've already been out on the majority of the course and it looks like a nice ride, some rolling hills, but nothing really much to be concerned about if you only train on flat ground. Best of luck with training everynone and see you all in May! |
