Shouldn't you be on honeymoon? Pick a race earlier, train through the bridezilla stuff, and save your recovery energy for the new missus. Or, save your entry fee cash and extend the vacation. There will be plenty of opportunities to race when she get sick of you and wants you out of the house.

anyone know a well run 70.3 Nov 12th or latter, had planned on Oilman Nov6th, but was just told i am getting married that day, so to avoid a massive argument i need to find a different race.

What time is the wedding? If it's an evening wedding and the race is close, it could be a discussion to have! ;)

Is 70.3 trademarked? I know ironman is, but I do not think they can TM a number.


so, add, the Toughman series, Pumpkinman in Maine, Rev3, just off the top of my head.


70.3 is absolutely trademarked by WTC. Only the first one on the below list was not WTC and it certainly looks as if WTC killed that application.

Warning: NOT ALL 70.3 or 140.6 are created equally.

In the mid 90's we all discussed where and when to race longer than an Oly. Which race had the 'right stuff' to insure it wasn't their issues that made for a really bad day: lack of aid stations and volunteers, lack of security personnel, poor swim course management and a REAL medical team at the end in case we really wanted to push at that distance for a PR.

Don't be fooled by organization that don't have the professional experience to produce these monster logistical sporting events. Are we perfect. No. But there are very few organization that have produced these 2 distances RIGHT for years and years.

My dog could post a race registration, build a cute web page, design a course on map-my... and call themselves a 'triathalon' organizer.

Part-time or weekend only organizers DO NOT have what it takes to manage 70.3/140.6 miles of course. Period.

Race with professionals or you could be doomed to a seriously bad day; not of your own making.

The time to find out your race organizer sucked is not mile 10 on the run!

Saturday, July 16th. Morden Manitoba has a 70.3 race. Nice prairie riding with a out and back through the Pembina river valley for a tough climb. The temperatures are usually really hot and the wind is blowing hard so it makes for a very tough race.
