Great to hear that it is still open. Is IMCDA sold out? Looks like with IMTahoe, the old IMC would have also sold out a bit less quick. Really nice to see that we can take our "time" to sign up (it may only be 2 weeks but better than 2 hours).

For sure.

I also think that after the first IMTahoe is run, that race will take a lot longer to sell out. People are underestimating the level of difficulty involved doing an IM at 6400 feet above sea level. Next year, Whistler probably sells out in a few days, but Tahoe stays open for 6 months.

Whistler in July will also help that too.

No kidding. 6400ft is not very comfie and I live at 4000ft. People from sea level are going to be in for a big surprise.

Agreed... It varies from 3500-4000 in town here and sea level folks suck wind....

It helps if you arrive 2 - 3 weeks before the race and get acclimatized. Good for the hotels too. You can ride some of the climbs to see how the light air affects you HR & breathing. I find I have to relax a bit more swimming and scale back my pace on the bike & run.

Bad for my wallet.

congrats

Even when I go to swim in Calgary (at 4000 feet) big diff in my 100m splits compared to sea level. Tahoe is going to hurt a lots and then it will stay open for a long time afterwards in 2013, because Whistler and IMCDA will be sold out by the time Tahoe opens for registration.

Dude, I live in AB, but thanks for the lesson.. Who's race was it? MSC? Just sounds 'made up'... Google shows nothing.

Lake Chaparral Triathlon was the Alberta Olympic Distance Provincial Championships. I did not race there, but did hear about the race. I believe it also has spots for Age Group World Championships.

But, he said I was an Ironman.

ATA pulls past events from the calender. MSC hosted at Chapparl for Oly and Banff Tri hosted sprint. LD is usually GWN or Chinook.

UBC would suffer a little extra when they raced us.

I guess the Calender stayed up this year that link was not the main Calender, rather it was in the "Athletes" section

irregardless, impressive swim time! Now, I'm seeking out the 2nd place finisher - he doesn't live that far from me!

^this.

Neither race is sold out right now. I'm racing Penticton next year (my 1st 140.6) and praying that IMC survives long enough that I make it to that race (2016/17???) Hoping to make Wanaka in 2014 - I'm not into racing the Hawaiian tourist trap, ever - I'm an age grouper and smart enough to have accepted that and the fact that "Ironman" is nothing more than a "brand".

From Chapparal? Dude works at the power plant out in Hana.
