so, i missed my 2nd ironman wisconsin since i broke my collar bone 3 weeks out. turns out the course claimed nearly 10% dnfs. wow.
sitting here thinking about how to make up for it, and think back to either an article or post that said we should consider international. might as well.... not that much more $ (sometimes even less), add to the fun and excitement.
i know this has been addressed before, but since the last time it was discussed (i think), there have been some new locations added or changed....... what are anyone's thoughts on some international ironman locations? does anyone know where some new ones will pop up? at this point, i may be looking at either late-fall/winter '04 or spring/summer '05, and i want to participate in an ironman sanctioned event.
for race day, i do fine in heat, don't like the cold. for preparation, i think i actually end up in better shape when i prepare for a peak inside during the frigid weather.
what about nutrition? can you really go to a destination like japan without dropping a daisy-cutter of a curveball on your digestive system?
has anyone felt any aprehension toward going international and ended up as good or bad decision to go?
