Ironman 70.3 California Oceanside - Official Thread

I've been on the fence about doing this race again in 2014. Just seems like it's too soon after IMAZ... I unfortunately noticed last night that there's only foundation slots available at $670 so I'm most likely out.

This years race was a blast and I'd recommend it to anyone.

Yup, I am out as well.  Sold out about 2 months sooner than last year.  Maybe New Orleans????

I'm in. Love that race.

I'm in again after missing the race in 2013. This will be my third time doing the race.

A full suit is preferred for this race, right? Full arms and legs??

Yes, the water temperature is usually right around 60 F
