Next Year's IM (Page 3)

Some folks in my tri club are doing IMFL this year, I am in SC and I think it is the closest M dot race......if all goes well and the planets line up and all that I may consider it for 2007 with the goal of going sub 17.....with that being said...

how hard it is to get into IMFL ?

I have read on here that you have to be ready to register as soon as registration opens what date and time is that, and what do I need other than internet and a cc ?

Is it an ocean swim ?

I guess I'll have a year to ask a lot of other newbie questions....I need to do this before I die though, or I'll be pissed...
