Rolling start at Kona for the entire month of October. Takes care of the Legacy list and anyone else who wants to race.

Switching official port-a-pottie brands? Maybe announcing a full IM within a 10 hour drive of my house?

Sort of on-par with Trek's "big announcement" as far as significance and not overhyping.

It's a new Ironman in the USA being announced in June. Ironman Des Moines, Ironman Fayetteville, Ironman Memphis or Ironman Tulsa.

New IMs are now given the Olympic treatment it seems. I just hope community support is taken into account somewhat among all the financial breaks.

Personally, I'd hit Memphis for the food alone. All the others? nah.

Agree. I have never been to Memphis but would love to see the history, culture and eat the foods. I would sign up for IM Memphis.

Des Moines could be a pretty tough course depending on where it is. I can guarantee it’s gonna be hot and humid though. I don’t care what month they put it in.

IMIA or how about IMSOYBN? Maybe IMCORN?

Des Moines is a finalist

Glad I clicked the link that was posted later. I was thinking no way I'd do an IM in Fayetteville, NC.

Pink? Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.

I'm very unenthused by all of these. Like there's some good Barbecue in Memphis and Fayetteville, a Symphony in Tulsa...but any of these in Mid-June is gonna suck unless you're purely training for Kona and have already qualified.

At least in Des Moines it can be. Though hot is normal in Sep.

Before I got into Tri's, HyVee had what seemed to be pretty popular when it happened.

Unpredictable? Eh, it's still gonna he hell on earth and humid in those locales in September. They would be pretty nice October races though.
