Subject: Tips for signning up for IMAZ 2012

Does anyone have any tips for speedy online registration. Here is what I can think of.

- Be on time

- Have USAT card / cc card / emrgency numbers etc ready

- Skip the tell us about yourself etc blocks, just put one letter in and move on.

Does anyone else have any other tips for speedy signup or info that I will need? Hopefully since sign up is on a Monday vs. Sunday like it was for IMFL it won'tsell out as fast and I get in.

Ohh, and sign up is on active.com through the IMAZ website correct? I need to make sure active works at work then, otherwise I will have to go home for lunch and use our slower home comp.

Thanks for any tips.

Be sure you already have an active.com account before you try to register. If you do, some blanks will auto fill.

If not go to an open 70.3 and start the registration process which should get you an Active.com account.

Some folks have another person or two try to register them as the same time. They communicate so they only register you once.

You need medical insurance information as well.

within 30min last year.

 

I had all my info ready so I was ready to enter it online..you can go to an active race that is not sold out and find out what you need to fill out and its order say Kentucky for example)  It doesnt matter whether you are a member on active or have an active account..you can sign in under guest, but as Kathy said  it will autofill some parts for you if you have an account and yes make sure you can get on active at work. I signed up as soon as the clock struck..had no problems getting in or with screen delay /server issues.

Is it too late to go there in person?  Is that an option?  If not, do what the others have said.

 

If you do go in person, get the to the sign up area EARLY.  I probably got there right at when it opened, maybe 30 minutes after, and the line was 2-3 hours long.  It was a year ago, so I sort of forgot.  But I remember getting there at 7-ish and not getting on the road till after 11.  If I had to do it again, I would get their and hour early and wait, than 30 minutes late and wait for 3 hours.

Is it possible to find the event directly in Active.com or do you have to wait until posted on IronmanArizona first and then follow link?

I signed up for IMFL this year day after the race and went towards the end of sign ups and it took 10' to register. Earlier in the day the line was 10x as long. Getting there early means standing in line a long time. Go just before it closes on site your wait will be much shorter and they will let everyone in line get registered. This year 900 registered in person at IMFL.

You can search Active or go through link at IMAZ, but from my experience the link works better.

My guess is No.  Other than IMNYC, you can get into any North American IM via general entry or foundation slots today.
