Looks like SOME of the athletes and volunteers from this year 2012 got the email confirming the new General Registration opening up on July 11.    I guess I'm one of the lucky ones that did NOT received it and I had volunteered for this year.

Has anyone received information on the "advance registration" before General Registration opens up?  Looking to sign up for my 1st Full Ironman...

Thanks.

Message forwarded to me from a friend on this volunteer issue---

something will be going out to all volunteers by the end of the day today!  but, yes, the "early" registration is just going to be in conjunction with the opening day of registration-their answer to me was that Active.com could not put together a separate registration...  they said, if the race filled up the first day, they would make sure all volunteers who wanted in could get in.  last year, it took well over a month to fill up, fyi.
 thanks,  greg
 
So... I have not received any email other than the registration about July 11 being open to everyone, not just volunteers. Ironmantexas.com says, "IRONMAN is excited to announce that registration will be available for the 2013 Memorial Hermann IRONMAN Texas on Wednesday, July 11 at noon EST."

I haven't received my email either, although i volunteered this year.  I contacted the POC for my volunteer area and he hasn't heard anything either.

I think the wife is going into shock about the cost of hotel rooms in The Woodlands.  LOL.  I don't see us staying anywhere w/i walking distance of the course.  Boo

@ Scott - Not sure what reasonable is, but the springhill suites were cheaper than the marriot and only a few miles away. I think like $120 per night.

I actually think we'll end up there.  Really wanted to stay at the Marriott since we'll have a 2 month old.  The wife is the one who is going to have to deal with it so it's her call.

Just in... on Facebook and personal email reply from IM...

"Thanks for reaching out. Due to the constraints of the registration system, we are unable to offer priority registration window for 2012 athletes and volunteers. However, we do not anticipate there being any issue getting into the race for those interested in signing up on Wednesday, July 11th at 12:00pm EST. The 2012 event took a few months to sell out, so we do not foresee registration selling out much quicker than that for the 2013 race. We encourage you to be one of the first to enter the 2013 Ironman Texas race!

crud. I am out.

2 years  ago I primised my dad that my kids would travel with him to his 50yr hs reunion. Just realized that it is the EXACT same day as IMTX. Really glad I caught this today rather than tomorrrow.

I guess I will limber up my fingers for a stab at imfl.

Thanks.  Didn't even think about that letting the cat out of the bag on that deal.  Oops.

Scott,
Get one of these for race day: http://www.myathletelive.com/faqs/

This way your wife and the kids can go back to the hotel and rest while you're out on the bike.

Congrats on the new addition!

courtney_leone - 2012-07-11 11:39 AM I'm in my first too! What's the deal with the $32 processing fee?!

Yeah, that processing fee seems a little steep.

Just registered for it, first IM. I had meetings all day and couldn't be by a computer. Even though I knew it wouldn't sell out right away, I was just paranoid that this year since I want to sign up it would sell out right away.
