Nice! I'll be curious to hear what you think of SG - it sounds beautiful!

IMWI this year was my first, and another 140.6 isn't going to be in my budget until at least 2012 - these things ain't cheap!

You will love it though - WTC & IM are getting a bad rap these days with prices, etc, but wow... an IM 140.6 is a truly epic experience.  Everything about the event was electric - hard to describe until you do one as a racer.  I don't know if my next full will be an IM or other (Rev3, B2B, etc), but I'm very happy to have at least the one IM experience.

Have fun & please keep us posted!

Cheers, Chris

Have not decided yet. Want to do 4 more 70s before I go for it all.

IMWI will be my first. I volunteered this year and thought that was a cool experience, I can only imagine what it will be like to race...

In for IMMOO for the third time.  It is a tough course but I just can't help going back.  Volunteering this year gave me a lot different view of the race.  I was not happy with my finish time in 2008 and now see what a fool I was.  I achieved a much higher level of respect for the distance and the course sitting out on the hills for the bike and watching the 15-17 hour finishers.  Can't wait to get training fired up again.

I'm all signed up to do my first in 2011. I will be doing Louisville, so if anyone in the west metro is doing it as well we could hook up for the long rides if anyone is interested. I live out in Waconia. Good luck to all...

I did IMOO as my first Ironman this year and it was great.  I'd love to hit up some of the other races, like IMLOU or IMFL.  Unfortunately, unless I start pooping $20 bills, the Ironman will be an every-other-year type of thing.  Of course, that's still not going to stop me from putting my name in the hat for the Kona lottery.

I'm registered for IMOO this year, 1st Ironman.  My dad and I volunteered this year and it was an inspiring experience.  Looking forward to the journey. I’m in the St. Cloud area if anyone is looking for someone to train with.

I'm shooting for IMWI in 2020 Until then, I'll do sprints and olys. Goal is to have the kids in college, scale back on work, and then go all out on IM prep for a year.

I did IM Wisconsin this year.  I plan on doing all shorter stuff next year and then taking another swing at IMoo in 2012.  Iplan on volunteering at Imoo next year though.

I'm STARTING to get the IM bug again, but no race in 2011. My wife and I are planning on volunteering again at IM WI - that's always a blast! See some of you out there!

Ironman Cozumel in 2011!!!  They say its like Kona only 1/3 the price (and with a flat bike course)!!!  It supposed to be a great venue.

Well, I have noodled on this decision so many times I am sick of thinking about it. Since I had a bad experience in my 1st attempt at IM in Arizona. My first thought was to go back there and exact my revenge. Then I thought it would be nice to do the IMOO local race and have a bunch of my friends there. I tried to register online and could not get in. It is now 10 min before the IM Arizona registration for 2011 goes on sale. I am thinking about it right now. Not sure I want to commit to it. I really would like to do IMCDA or IM Canada. Maybe 2012 for one of those. Decisions, decisions.
