that's kinda what I was getting at... nothing against IMFL or any of the people or clubs doing it. In fact, it's on my list to do someday.

But it's definitely not what it used to be, both in terms of prestige and access. IMAZ seems to have taken over the fall IM KOM and all the other closer ones that are available now are pretty cool in their own rights... Cozumel with the resort vacation feel, Chattanooga and KY with the cool downtowns, TX with the NA Champs, extra slots, and cool venue, etc.

But anyway, rock on to everyone racing!

Every year in the past they have had a bike shop at the expo. There is also one about a quarter mile away in a tent. You should not have a problem.

It also used to be the case that you needed to sit by your computer and try and enter as soon as the race opened up. These days, not so much. IMFL was my first IM back in 2003 and I think I entered it sometime in late November. By 2006 or 2007, if you waited 1 day, you were SOL. Now, I think you can enter pretty much any time. It's been interesting to watch the "progress" of the brand and the race.

I don't know the arrival date (maybe we get an email like I did when it was picked up), but TBT told me there was no pickup available until around noon Wednesday.

Leaving Ohio on Tuesday. Good thing cause it’s 36 degrees here. My 2nd trip to IMFL and love the venue. Wife loves the beach. It does put a hampering on my deer hunting though😁

Installed new bearings and end caps today. I am all set with my wheel. Thanks for the kind offer and have a great race!!

Good to hear. It’s 44° this morning in Panama city beach. Water temperature is already down 72.3°.

With the weather forecast the next few days in the mid 70s and some highs of 80 degree, water temp should go back up. Still think it will be wetsuit legal but I would be prepared for both.

They can get creative at where they take the temperature reading. ;)

The water temperature is 72.1° right now and it is supposed to drop into the high 40s tonight. I think the chances of it not being wetsuit legal are pretty slim.

Bump because I am pretty excited about this race.

We are heading up to PCB this afternoon. Have a great race everybody!!

Leaving tomorrow from the ATL... the drive down will probably be the worst part of the weekend (I hope, knock on wood). There is no easy, fast way, to get there.

First (and last) IM for me!!

^ No one likes a quitter....

Everyone says "one and done" before they do their first. I sure thought it. But after finishing IM Louisville I know I'll do another.

I'm closer to the feathered end of the spear than the point.

I flew in last year from Atlanta to Panama City Beach. Not expensive. Rent a car and you are set.
