Champion 10668   Tacoma, Washington | Subject: RE: Ironman Oregon? I can't even imagine doing something on the scale of an IM at Hagg Lake. The venue just can't support it. One road in and out, NO anything for spectators/spouses/sherpas/kids to do, nearest civilization is, what, 8+ miles away... I'd rather do Esprit... |

One road in and out, NO anything for spectators/spouses/sherpas/kids to do, nearest civilization is, what, 8+ miles away... I'd rather do Esprit... What they're proposing is a point-to-point race. Certainly unique for a NA WTC event, but doable. An IM race in Bend would have to be a point-to-point race as well, and I imagine Eugene would be also. Bend and Eugene are more typical IM venues in terms of size vs. Forest Grove, but Forest Grove is just outside the Portland Metro area and there's plenty of lodging opportunities within 30 minutes drive. scott |

| Champion 19812 MA | Subject: RE: Ironman Oregon? RI 70.3 will be a point to point race in a couple weeks. T1 is down by the beach and T2 is in Providence. I worry personally as other RI races first time often are messed up. Hopefully this race will pull off it well. |

The race would be the last official qualifier for anyone aspiring to compete in next year’s Ironman World Championship, held in Kona, Hawaii. You would have a year to recover. |

I had forgotten that MOO and FL qualify for the following year. |

The recovery would be tough and the travel arrangements difficult! Note - I can't imagine qualify for Kono in any month. Just saying for those that would. I don't think I am reading it that way. If Oregon gets one it won't be til next year and it is saying it would be the last opportunity to qualify for Kona NEXT YEAR. Now Louisville will be the last weekend in August this year and that qualifies for Kona this year so I guess it would be another couple of weeks later. So I agree, that could make travel a bit tough but heck if I qualified I think I could figure it out |
