Veteran 333 Murrieta Calif. | Subject: RE: Vineman Full Ironman : Official Thread Awesome! Nice to see I will have some company! I've been out of triathlon for about 5 years and really excited to get back to Ironman! I will do some research on accommodations, it's been over 10 years since I've done the race so don't remember specifics on hotels though, I'll check with my wife! |

Champion 7547 Albuquerque, New Mexico Bronze member | Subject: RE: Vineman Full Ironman : Official Thread Registered before the end of the year. I did IMCdA in '09 so this is my second ironman (as long as W-O-R-K doesn't screw it up). Tentatively planning to come out Wednesday before and then stay a little over a week after. |

Extreme Veteran 529 Harbor City/Torrance/Carson | Subject: RE: Vineman Full Ironman : Official Thread I'm in as well. This will also be my first IM distance. I'm doing an OLY in early March and a HIM in mid April as preparation for Vineman. Looking for accommodations as well. |

Extreme Veteran 529 Harbor City/Torrance/Carson | Subject: RE: Vineman Full Ironman : Official Thread The Trooper - 2011-01-06 12:47 PM I'm in as well. As for accommodations, I stayed at Hilton Garden Inn last year for Vineman 70.3. Its by the airport and about 20-25 min from Johnsons beach and about 10 min. from the finish. I checked them out and they are charging about $170/night. Is there anything cheaper than that around the area? |

| Subject: RE: Vineman Full Ironman : Official Thread Me too! And I am also doing the Iron Fit program, going into week 2.... This is my second IM, and hopefully it will go much better than the last one. I'm stoked! I am making plans to fly into San Diego the week before the race, renting a car and driving up Highway 1 with my mom. Its something she has always wanted to do so the whole week is going to be really amazing. I can't wait! |

Veteran 363 Alta | Subject: RE: Vineman Full Ironman : Official Thread I'm in as well! Anyone know how soon one needs to zero in on housing prior to the event? Trying to decide between a few options and don't want them to fill up or jack the prices up. Any thoughts? |

Extreme Veteran 318 North Carolina | Subject: RE: Vineman Full Ironman : Official Thread Just wanted to stop in and say Hi...My wife (runnergirl) and I are in.

Veteran 333 Murrieta Calif. | Subject: RE: Vineman Full Ironman : Official Thread I did the race a few years ago and the bike course is stunning!! It goes through wine country so a nice blend of rolling hills with only one semi-nasty climb towards the end of each loop! It is beautiful countryside though!! |

Expert 1168 Vancouver (not Canada) Washington (not D.C.) | Subject: RE: Vineman Full Ironman : Official Thread Great to find other people with Vineman on their minds. I've wanted to do this for years and finally get the chance. This will be my first full distance race. Doing Boise 70.3 as a warm-up or thrashing but really focused on this race. Good to hear that others are back for more punishment. I have family in Santa Rosa and have stayed at various hotels in the area over the years. If people are looking for affordable hotels, it seems like north end of Santa Rosa tends to be cheaper and is closer to the race. Looking forward to learning, sharing and racing together. |

Champion 6285 Beautiful Sonoma County | Subject: RE: Vineman Full Ironman : Official Thread Oh hai! Just found this thread, and although there is no chance in the world that I will be doing the FULL Vineman, if any of y'all are in the area training, feel free to give a shout. We're happy to ride the course with you any time. And we know were all the good restaurants are. |
