Who's doing a 1/2 IM in 2008??? (Page 4)

Don't leave out Muncie! I'm doing the Endurathon (Muncie) and Deer Creek. Maybe the Greater Buckeye. But I'm still debating about doing IMKY.

I wanted to do the Half down there this year but fell victim to a hip injury. You'll have to let me know how it goes down there!

I am planning on doing the Boulder, CO 5430 HIM in Aug next year. Registration is open on 1 Jan 08.

If any of you doing a 1/2 in 2008 want to form some kind of keep-in-touch group or put your names on each others' friends lists, just say so here. Or we can just keep this thread going to give each other encouragement!!

My wife and I are planning on the IMFL 70.3 - it will be her glorious return after the birth of our 2nd son- Luke!

She is already starting to build a base- 2 mos after birth, with the greatest surprise being her almost intact swimming stamina - unbelievable!


First- IMWI in 48 hrs for me!

Good luck at the IM triDDS

Do great at the IMWI!!! I look forward to your race report!!
Nancy
PS - what kind of base is your wife laying??

Good Luck TriDDS!

motivation is always good, sign me up Nancy

Some kind of keep-in-touch group would be great! How can we set it up?

I'm debating on doing Barb's Race (Vineman). I've got 2 months to decide. I'd love a support group though!

Can we just use this thread?? How do the IM people do it???

I will add you to my friends - add me, too! And I am trying to find out how to set up a thread for the 1/2 IMers!

Anyone set up any preparation races for their 1/2 IMs yet? I am going to do the Long Branch Half Marathon in May, and my coach has me doing a 1/2 in November of this year. She wants me to do the training while I am in good shape. Or at least she thinks I am in good shape!!

Sign me up as well. Just finished my 2007 season with an olympic yesterday. Will probably begin with base building in mid to late Feb in prep for an August 1/2.

I will put you on my Friend's list!

I am I am!!! I'll definetly be at Musselman and Timberman, possible Mooseman hopefully Longhorn, but more hopefully Halfmax (through qualification, not just paying my way) and of course the dream is Clearwater...here's to hoping!!

Anxiously awaiting October 1st and November 1st so I can spend hundreds of dollars registering for these bad boys.

Yep I am in For Eagleman Juen 2008

I will add you right now! Talk soon!!

I was going to do Musselman, but I signed up for Newfoundland and now I am wondering if I made the wrong decision. I think the support from crowds at Musselman is great!

I thought that the Greater Buckeye is the Deer Creek tri? Or are you saying that you will be completing the Toyota Challege at Deercreek (Oly and Sprints) and the Greater Buckeye as your HIM?

Just wondering because I am trying to plan which HIM in the area to train for next year and the options are a little slim. Lucky for you being in upper Indy you can get to Steelhead or Racine without a ton of travel time.

Ironman Muskoka Sept 14 2008 - first half distance race, my biggest challenge will be the swim.

Doing my first in about a 8 days. I'm trying to figure out which one's to do next season. I want to do at least 2. Any suggestions? I'm from Oklahoma....is there anything besides Redman close?

Looking at Spirit of Racine (mid July??) but looking for something earlier April/May and if that goes well, a second in August/September.

I'm curious of the opinions in the community as to the desireability of competing in a sanctioned 70.3 event vs. a distant-equivalent (non-sanctioned) event. I presume the Ironman branding increases the entry fee a bit...
