Which I believe makes you an Ironman.IronWaddlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065549723453997421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031563591167935831.post-52741930717149761692008-10-13T19:10:00.000-05:002008-10-13T19:10:00.000-05:00My .02 on the M-dot branded races:As you know, we ...My .02 on the M-dot branded races:<BR/><BR/>As you know, we have two purebred Labradors. Both of their parents were registered with the AKC.<BR/><BR/>We chose not to register them when we got them because we don't need to pay for a piece of paper that confirms that they are Labradors. <BR/><BR/>They're Labs regardless of if a paid organization recognizes them or not.<BR/><BR/>And I believe the term Ironman is the same. If you cover the distance of 2.4, 112 and 26.2 in 17 hours or less then yes, you are still an Ironman.<BR/><BR/>Paying for an M-dot race is just that -- paying for an M-dot race!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and IM LOU will eventually start selling out. They all traditionally take a few years to take off.<BR/><BR/>I do believe IM LOU is an extremely tough course and many people would rather do another race. You're guaranteed no wetsuit, one of the toughest bike courses ever and relentless heat and humidity. <BR/><BR/>Rog told me that IM LOU will soon earn the reputation as *the* Kona prep race because it shares many of the same qualities - wetsuit illegal, hard bike, heat and humidity!IronSnoopyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01981949502472813578noreply@blogger.com
