Subject: RE: First Ironman rjchurchill - 2005-11-03 7:42 PM Anyone have any suggestions on a good 1st IM race, Florida, Wisconsin, ect. Any help would be great. Shooting for an IM in the 2007 season, but you know how it is, gotta plan ahead if you want to get into these races. Thanks for any help ahead of time. Russ: I was in the same situation months ago. I researched every 140.6 race I could find. Thanks to a lot of advice from BT'ers I narrowed down my race selection. Living in Nebraska where winter lasts until April I had to choose a late season IM. I'm planning on doing the CheaspeakeMan Ultra (140.6) Triathlon Sept. 30 2006.. Its not hosted by Ironman but that doesn't matter much to me. The race has been held two years and has gotten great reports. Good luck reaching your goals. |
