Subject: Florida Ironman 2014- Lets go!
Just registered for the IMFL for 2014! Looking for others from Iowa who plan to join in the "fun" on
November 1 of next year. Can't wait to hear from those of you that will be doing their FIRST IM and
those of you who have completed the IMFL in the past.

I have done several Olympic and sprint distances over the past 8 years and completed my first HIM
in Racine this past summer. I loved the 70.3 so figured I'd attempt to register for IMFL but knew I'd
"never get in online." Well, wouldn't you know it, I got in with no problems at all! I am excited, nervous,
scared, etc. You all know the feelings I am sure!

Mostly nervous about the swim portion. The distance seems reasonable but swimming with giant waves
hitting me in salt water intimidates me a bit more! Would love some insight, info, words of wisdom, etc.

Hoping some of us can meet-up the week of the race in Panama City as well! Happy training!

I'm planning it in 2015 but not this year. My cousin has done this one twice and liked it. It is the only 140.6 course he's done but he has done several 1/2 IM races. We are planning it together in 2015 so if he's in for a 3rd time it must be a good course! Good luck
