Memorial Hermann Ironman Texas 2012 : Official Thread (Page 2)

Cool thanks, let us know if you hear anything back. I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't sign up for another til I do IMCDA next month. For the last 4 years I have been signed up for my next one before completing the one I was doing that year.

Not to hijack....no IM TX for us as we are too headed to Kansas for a three year stint. I'll be very occupied and not likely racing much for 3 years but my wife plans to keep it up.

Matt

I am sure Kansas will be nice

Happy June 1st!

Just wondering how many of you guys have upcoming races.  We don't have much out here on this island so my season was pretty much done after IMOZ, so I'm going to live vicariously through you guys.  If you'd like to share I'd love to hear what's going on in your neck of the woods.

If you're not racing, do you have any June goals?  I have a simple goal of trying to workout each day even if it has nothing to do with s/b/r.

Nothing in June for me.  I will be doing my first olympic in July at the Small Texan in San Antonio and then the Longhorn HIM in October.  I am currently nursing a sore achilles.  My main goal is to get up and running asap and then get my mileage up to a good monthly level without reinjuring myself.  Also, lots of swimming and biking in the Texas heat in the coming months.

I'm in. Going to be #2 for me. Got in trouble, as I was thinking about which one to do for #3 even before #2 is done.

Buffalo Springs is quite the race! Be prepared for a pretty tough course!

I'm doing a little race in Idaho on 26 June....yeah, IMCdA, IM #1 of my 3 in one year (CdA, AZ, TX)...insanity, I know!!

No, but I am going to be doing the one in The Woodlands.

Ah, good! I ventured out to BSLT as my first half...it was on a whim cause I had leave I needed to use, and figured I'd see "where I was" so I could train for Longhorn that fall ('08).  Man did it kick my butt!  I'm really bummed I didn't know you when I was at Hood or that our time didn't overlap more. I would've loved to have had someone else out there to train with more often!!

Besides BT, and friends on my tri team, I haven't told anyone I signed up for IMTX yet cause I know everyone is going to think I've totally lost my marbles...my parents especially. Especially considering I said I'd think about doing TX if they moved it up earlier in the year. I think I'll tell them after CdA.  I grew up in W. Houston (Katy)--so my family KNOWS what May in Houston feels like--they are really going to question my sanity. 

Why am I NOT surprised! but NOW we have to find a new best-aid-station leader...

Im in..1st IM...im also in the lottery for the houston half....

good luck to all!
