Choice for first Ironman

Triathlon Forum

OK, here goes,

I am considering doing my first Ironman next fall. The question is, which one? I have qualified for World Triathlon Championships in Madeira in May so I will go into the summer relatively fit, which likley means I can qualify for my race of choice.

I think IMLP is too early for me to get a good distance base, so I think my choices are IMCAN, IMWI, and IMFL. I’m an okay biker/runner, but likely a 1:10+ swimmer for Ironman. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

If you can qualify, Canada is the way to go. Can’t beat it. Bike has a nice mix of flats, rollers, and a couple of climbs. Great crowd support as well.

Hey Jaylew, you wouldn’t happen to be Jason Lewis, UCC '91 would you?
