Expert  751    Texarkana, TX |  Subject: IMAZ Bike CourseHere's a post from the forum on cruciblefitness.com. They claim that the bike course at IMAZ is going to change. Don't know if this is legit or not. At this point, consider it a big, fat internet rumor. ************** |

Veteran 224 Greenville, SC | Subject: RE: IMAZ Bike Course To further the rumors, here is a little info posted here locally by someone doing the event. I took out the names. "XYZ mentioned yesterday that he had heard that some cyclists riding the course came upon some wild dogs and maised them. The Indians were pissed off and told Ironman North Am that the course could no longer enter their reservation. How screwed up is that. I probably would have maised the wild dogs too for protection." |

Elite 3235  San Diego | Subject: RE: IMAZ Bike Course I heard the rumors too. We are heading out there this weekend and I have no idea where to ride. Maybe I will do 112 one mile loops around the transition area  |

Maybe I will do 112 one mile loops around the transition area Now that's just silly. I am sure that IMNA would at the very least do 56 2-mile out and backs. |

Master 1661 Newbury Park, CA | Subject: RE: IMAZ Bike Course To throw more rumors on the mill.... What about the swim? It was already pretty shakey and now there is a lot more rain to get rid of. |

Elite 3235 San Diego | Subject: RE: IMAZ Bike Course I don't even want to think about the swim. I think in the next 5 weeks it will dry up in AZ. That should make the lake OK I hope. |

Extreme Veteran 367 Lufkin (East Texas) | Subject: RE: IMAZ Bike Course The course has been updated. Looks like 3 loops now. Anyone in AZ have any comments on the change? |

Elite 3235 San Diego | Subject: RE: IMAZ Bike Course They took out all the rollers and the steep hill through the Fountain hills area. This is going to be a fast course. We are going to turn around at the top of the hill on Beeline, but it is a hill that is 200 feet over 10 miles. The only thing would be the winds and the crappy road conditions through Alma school. |

Expert 751 Texarkana, TX | Subject: RE: IMAZ Bike Course On the bright side, it should give us plent of opportunities to see the race leaders... On the dim side, it is now a triple out and back, with a little bit more of the loop thrown in for good measure the fourth time around. I don't know whether to be bummed that we are not getting as good of an adventure or psyched that we will have a rather flat, fast course. |

Believe me, once you have seen the first 5 miles of road out there, it is the same as the other 23 miles we would have seen, minus the world's largest fountain I am glad that we will be riding really close to the transition area. Lots of spectators...hopefully |

Veteran 247 Mesa, AZ | Subject: RE: IMAZ Bike Course Of course, I'm only volunteering for this race but I like the new course layout from a spectator’s point of view, plenty of opportunity to see you folks flying by at mach 2. |

Extreme Veteran 367 Lufkin (East Texas) | Subject: RE: IMAZ Bike Course That it's a flatter course is probably good, but then again, most of it would have seemed flat to me anyway. It does appear to be a fast course, but in the initial part of the "loop", you're going to be turning - or turning around - every mile or so. Just enough time to get some speed up to slow down to make a turn. THe good news is, I should be able to see how far in front of me Phil is at all times! |
