This is supposedly from IMNA so just wanted to pass it along for those thinking of signing up for LP next year:

"On site at 9:00am and online at 11:00 am with www.active.com, local race site time the day after the race. Please Note: If you register online with active.com the day after the race and you don't receive a 20 digit confirmation number at the end of your registration, then you are not registered for that event. The offices of North America Sports, cannot give you a confirmation number, nor can we open up a slot for you if your online registration doesn't go through. The best way to secure a slot is to register onsite the day after the race. "

Basically, sounds like they expect it to sell-out very quickly again (no surprise) and aren't going to try to vouch for active.com's ability to handle all the traffic.  Buyer beware.

Still seems nuts to me that registration is almost as much of an "event" as the race itself.

I'm racing Spirit of Racine HIM the same day of this year's IMLP.  One of the requirements during my search for hotels I'll stay at that weekend is that they have high speed internet access so I can register for IM LP on Monday morning.  If I could pull it off I would fly to LP to register onsite but that would be tough to do.

Well, it sounds like I'll be cheering for you in person, JK .

I guess I need to plan a road trip. (At least it'll give me the op to ride the course a bit.)

Thanks for the info.

Come on up and sign up in person.  Standing in the line and shooting the breeze is half the fun!

I'm sure the organizers are dreading the day when more people show up in person than they are allotting spots for.  Makes you wonder if it will eventually come down to a lottery situation.  I'm a lousy crowd estimator, but I'd take a wild stab and say there were 500 people in line in 2006.
