It sound like there are *strong* rumors that the men's WC will be in Nice and the women's in Kona. But they've been giving qualifying slots to the WC and specifically saying that it's in Kona. Some people are kinda upset! I have not been following - slowtwitch? I wouldn't put it past IM to pull a switcharoo!! Yes, Slowtwitch. I'm *shocked* that they do not have better customer service! |

You are not alone. A few people pointed out: "Registration for Legacy eligible athletes was supposed to open today. They sent out an email yesterday putting it on hold. " This one made me laugh though: "Me and thousands of others already have flights, hotels, cars, time off, etc. for October 14th in Kona." Thousands? Really? |

Let's hope IM isn't true to form in its screw everyone attitude and if Nice is really true it is for the following year. | 2022-11-29 2:25 PM in reply to: amd723 |

ETA: I'm going to guess that when/if this happens anyone who is currently signed up for Kona 2023 will be able to defer to 2024. If those people have plane tickets or any non-refundable cost it will be too bad our terms of service say we can do what we want. Edited by amd723 2022-11-30 9:13 AM |

And there is wonderful hiking in the area, too! Not to mention the lake. Originally posted by ceilidh Originally posted by amd723 I guess ill have to do it. I know where I will stay! (Anyone else who wants to come and stay - house is free, cabins get a friend and family discount) Robin P and Janyne (and anyone else interested), Cycle North Carolina Mountain Ride 2023 is in Lake Lure. I won't be able to do it I can sherpa and cheer if the weekend fits my schedule Trying to imagine what the routes could look like and what I've come up with is ...hard! I know!! I'm not sure that I could do 3 days of riding that were so hilly without feeling dead. The main event is Saturday and Sunday, so just 2 days of riding which means it's really easy When is this event taking place?? |
, but you two have no excuse! 
Actually, you don't have to ride both days and each day has different length rides, so you can pick your poison. Of the 3 times I've participated 2x I've only ridden one day. Though one of those times I did an unofficial second day, short route. | 2022-12-03 4:26 AM in reply to: jmkizer |
| Extreme Veteran 710 Wilmington, NC | Subject: RE: Racing Manatees - Better Together in 2022 Hi All I have been slacking on reading the group forum due to travel, work, life, etc. 1. Congrats on IMAZ Randee! I did that race x 2 way back in the day. I love Tempe! 2. IM Championships -> change sucks. I was fortunate enough to be a spectator for my husband who did it back in 2007. Kona is a quaint town. I cannot imagine how busy it must have felt this year with all the racers. It's too bad they are splitting the men and women and putting the races in two different locations. Lots of men/women train together and if you qualify, even if your race is on a different day it's fun to cheer each other on. Seems like now if you have any 'hopes' of qualifying and really want to do the race when it's in Kona you will have to strategically plan what year you do a qualifying IM. Most of us AG-ers don't have Kona on our radar but I am just thinking for those who do. I wonder if IM will see a decrease in registration? 3. Cycle NC event in Lake Lure -> when is this taking place? I might be interested! 4. Nothing big planned for me this weekend however I am OW swimming today. It's going to feel chilly! Leanne |
