I'm considering IMLou for my first.
Does this race sell out? I can see now that registration is open, but I'm not sure I'm 100% ready to reg just yet ;-)
Thoughts?
Even though it probably won't sell out until just before the race, I would definitely recommend this race! It was my first Ironman and it was just awesome. I had a bit of advantage because I'm in Central Florida and was able to train in the heat, so the heat on race day didn't bother me at all as I heard it did other people. I still think it's an awesome venue, great course if you can prepare for a challenging bike (I am a flat lander but still was able to prepare enough to do well on the bike ), and incredibly well organized. Finish line is spectacular. Can't say enough good things about this race.
Here's my race report from my blog...warning, it's VERY long.

Good luck in your decision, but I think you'll find most everyone on this forum agrees that it is a great race. |
