Member  36 |  Subject: Question about active.com registration for 2008 IM FLI apologize for another thread on this topic, but online registration is this weekend and I am getting very antsy. I hope by starting a new thread some generous poster will respond to my question before this weekend. When I search for Ironman Florida in the active.com events, the race does not show up - presumably because registration is not open. I have an active account and I will log in at 10:45ish on Sunday morning (registration day). Will the race show up on the list of events when registration opens? Do I keep refreshing the page of the list of events waiting for Ironman Florida to make the list? Thanks very much for your time. Most importantly, good luck to all who are competing this weekend. |

| Veteran 691 | Subject: RE: Question about active.com registration for 2008 IM FL I was told by Melody Givens at "central" that registration doesn't open up until 12 noon Central Time. Is this not the case? email below Nov. 1st, and Panama city is Central time zone and it will open up 12noon PC time zone.

Member 36 | Subject: RE: Question about active.com registration for 2008 IM FL Thank you both very much. Looks like I will log into active.com at 12:45 EST and start hitting refresh page. Sounds like fun. |

Expert 657 Portland | Subject: RE: Question about active.com registration for 2008 IM FL Also...you may get a message on the active.com registration page that will declare the race is "sold out". This happened to me when I was getting ready to register for Lake Placid this summer. If this happens just prior to the time the race opens for on-line registration, disregard it and continue to hit refresh and you will eventually get the registration form. It worked for me

| Nor*Cal | Subject: RE: Question about active.com registration for 2008 IM FL I'm confused. From the IMFL entry webpage: * Athletes registered for the current year’s event can register for the following year’s event on the Friday before the race. * Athletes can only register themselves. * Registration will be from 9-11 AM. This timeframe will be for athletes only, so they don’t have to worry about the next year’s registration or stand in line after having raced. * Day after registration will be only for people to register themselves, they will not be allowed to register a friend at all at any NAS events in the future. Anyone can register themselves at this time. * Whatever is left for general entry will be done via Active.com usually opening at 12 PM local race site time. I'm interepreting this as those participating for this years race were able to register yesterday for next years race. And the third and fourth bullet, registration for everyone else should be today and an hour and 20 minutes ago (as of this posting, it's 1:20PM local time @Florida). -ak- (hitting refresh @active.com every minute for the past 30 minutes!)

This is the comment that interests me. Considering how quickly IMUSA & IMWI sold out because so many were onsite to register, I wonder how long it will be until there are no slots left for these races & IMFL online. |

Before, people could register themselves AND their friends. Now, you can only register yourself. Should be alot more online slots available. |

Member 36 | Subject: RE: Question about active.com registration for 2008 IM FL The IM Florida organizers are apparently not optimistic about the number of slots available for online registration. This message went up on the IM Florida website last night: "Ironman Florida 2008 online registration will open at 12:00 noon local race site time on November 4, 2007 ONLY IF there are general entry spots left after all on-stie entries are taken. There are expected to be very few, if any, and those will sell out within minutes online." I still plan to try to register online, but I am now looking at alternate full IMs for 2008. I think it is pretty clear that another fall IM in the US would be a big hit for the IM series. Athletes want a fall race so they have all season to train and cool race temperatures. |

I'm interested to see how it turns out. Meanwhile Beach2Battleship will run on the same day next year. New race (1/2 & full) but from an established race promoter. http://beach2battleship.com/ |

Veteran 377 | Subject: RE: Question about active.com registration for 2008 IM FL This whole thing upsets me. i went to bed after a short 5 miles run with this on my mind, an now here i am headed to church with this as a prayer request, and then I realize how many this effects. it is rediculous to me in a way, great that there is such a high demand (it shows U.S. fitness) and almost demotivating that we may not get in. It's just upsetting!!! thank you for letting me vent. hahhahha like you had a choice.. ;-) |

Veteran 253 Florida | Subject: RE: Question about active.com registration for 2008 IM FL one hour until we can register online...has anyone heard from someone at the in-person registration as to how many people there are there registering?? |

Master 2125 | Subject: RE: Question about active.com registration for 2008 IM FL I registered today. I'd say 500 people minimum (it could have been more but I'd say less than 1000 for sure). This doesn't count the number that did the race that had the option to do it on Friday. |
