Trigger pulled ... IMTX #3 for me .. why stop the streak.. I figure if I do it enough times maybe one day I will be able to put all 3 disciplines together into one solid race! haha

Would this have to do anything with our conversation on Saturday?

haha ... I was planning on signing up, just kept putting it off. So yes, that was part of it, the other part was all the guys from our tri group who did it last year are going again, and I didnt want to be the odd man out!! LOL ... Plus I really do want to have a good run there at some point!

Teammates (Jockstrap Catapult) who raced IMTX last year said the run course made the entire event worth it. The sections along the river were amazing. Everyone out there was cheering everyone along all day/night long. It's such a spectator friendly event with the run course encompassing the woodlands downtown area it makes it that much better.

I'm trying to get enough money together to make this my first full. Can anyone tell me how quick this race usually fills, if it does? Thank you

Took 30 days for the 2011 race to sellout.  Took five months for the 2012 race to sellout.

My guess would be somewhere in between.

Thanks for that reminder.  I will have a much better grasp on this after Oilman.

That makes three of us.  Take about a month of afterwards and then it's time to get after it.

Hey there:

I noticed that there are 2 threads for IMTX 2013 (http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=451720&posts=18&mid=4320991&highlight=Memorial+Hermann+Ironman+Texas+&highlightmode=1&action=search#M4320991

Should we agree on an "official" one.

Looking forward for IMTX 2013 After doing IMFL 2011 I am expecting this one to be much harder...

I loved doing this race and will be back in 2014 for sure! This time I plan on actually training and not finishing with 25 minutes to spare! How's that for a plan???

I really did love this course. The run is so much fun along the waterway but on the flip side having the other half of the loop fairly empty was nice also. You get treated like a rockstar for 3-4 miles and bombarded with crazy energy and then you get to relax and have some peace and quiet for the next 3-4 miles and then do it all over again, and then again!

Good luck to everyone this year. I will be volunteering for sure!

Does ever really stop? Laughing My OCD/Type-A personality has my "pre-IMTX training" training plan till the end of the year, then my IMTX training plan kicks in Jan1 ...  

Watching IMAZ last night and all the people crossing the finish line, I really got the urge to get this party started!

My coach had me shut down from Oilman until today.  So a nice 2 week "off season".

Kelly Gallagher.  She's not local (Houston).  Actually met her here in the mentor groups.

Caufee Tawk.....So Florida and Arizona sell out in a minute and it loos like Texas will need a Schwaggle deal to sell out. I wonder if this will encourage WTC to move the date or location. Discuss.

I think it will sell out once everyone's A option sells out. 

I think the location will probably move once the contract is up.  I wonder what Galveston's 70.3 deal looks like?  I'm sure they'd love to take on a full as they're already a tourist trap.  Move it into the 70.3 time of year and you are wetsuit legal too.  I just think mid May temps in TX scare off yankees.

I agree with all of this. You can't blame the poor Yanks training in 50-60 degrees on nice days and coming here to 90s, surely a shock. It is both the temps and swim that keeps me away and I am here! More an issue with the canal than wetsuit. I've been out there both years and just about everybody was suffering in the heat. For most the bulk of training is in cooler temps.

I like the heat.  Cool  Works much better for me than the cold.  My swim is going to be iffy no matter where it's held so I figured I'd do my first on the cheap.  On the cheap....... LOL.
