Hi all! I live in Orlando and am racing IMMD in October. I need a half iron distance at the end of August and am struggling to find one within driving distance of Central Florida. I'll admit that I'm an "Ironman" brand snob, so I'm not that familiar with other races out there.

Any advice?

Thanks!

Half Irons in August are hard to come by - I think because it's so hot across much of the country. 

How far are you willing to drive? There are a handful within the 8-9 hour driving distance from Orlando. TriFind.com is a great resource. Here are August 2015 races on TriFind.
