| Master 1661 Newbury Park, CA | Subject: RE: Kona Lottery - who is applying? I'd love to enter the lottery, and of course win a spot but I am already doing IM CDA and there is just no way I can afford to go to 2 IMs in one year financially. It costs a lot of money to prep, register, and travel for 1 IM, I just can't add a trip out to Kona, registration, and all the other costs involved with that. I really wish there was a way to have the lottery before you have to commit to that year's set of IM races. That would mean having the lottery for Kona 2007 before IM AZ 2006 which is 1 -1/2 years before. I don't think that is going to happen. Someday I'll have to try and just rack up the credit cards. Just thinking about racing in Kona sends shivers down my spine!!! |

I still want to go to Kona but I'm determined to do it the hard way. I might not be fast enough right now but if I can just hold steady for 20 years I know I can whoop some 50 year olds  |

| Crystal Lake, IL | Subject: RE: Kona Lottery - who is applying? Forgive a newbie, but does it work this way: If you qualify this summer at another race you go to Kona in 2007 but if you win a lottery slot you go in '06? When is the lottery drawing? Is there a link to info about this? |

| Extreme Veteran 483 St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands | Subject: RE: Kona Lottery - who is applying? I intend on applying - if my number comes up I'll take a 3 month sabbatical - hey I can dream can't I. But I think I'll keep trying with the Powerball also - with a 100+ mill - one shouldn't have to scrimp too had for an auction slot. Edited by millarg 2006-02-03 8:01 AM |

When is the lottery drawing? Is there a link to info about this? If you win the lottery this year (March or April?) you go to Kona 2006. If you were to qualify at any of the North American IMs this year you also go to Kona 2006 - with the exception of IM Florida as it is held in November you go the following year (2007). To register for a North America IM you basically need to do that the previous year as they sell out in a matter of hours (generally). |
