I just registered at IM-Wis., got my plastic bag and looked through it…NOTHING! Just a bunch of advertisements, an old crunched up Fig Newton, and tiny towel. I know this is not the purpose of the $400, but simply in comparison of other IMNA events, and IM-WIS past years, this is squat! I guess the addition of FORD will put a lot a fancy cars in the expo area, but they didn’t spend a penny on promo in the bags.

That’s more than they had in IMC this year where we got the tiny towel but no fig newton
.
No nuts???
NUTS!
Oh well, be happy that you’re through the registration process early. Now relax …
you get the good stuff when you cross the finish line.
the bags last year were nice! Canvas blue, red, black, and white bags with the IMWI on one side. Can you tell me if they have endurolytes at the expo? I am all out and so is my local shop. Crap!
you get the good stuff when you cross the finish line.
Yeah, like your complimentary IV.
We didn’t even get the Newton last year.
Edit
Ahoodlum is correct that the bags themselves were nice. Nothing in 'em, though.
I have a fear of needles so I usally pass on mine.
I didn’t notice them at the expo, they might, however at Machinery Row Bikes (100 yds from expo) they have a good supply, both pill and powder.
Last year they also gave out a nice license plate frame. I guess the FORD employee discount means discounting IM goodies.
how is the expo?
one more reason to consider non IMNA Iron events

But in Canada, you get the cool finisher’s hat and the rubber band. At Madison, it’s just the usual ugly finisher’s t-shirt.

At the Grand Columbian you get the hat, the Brooks technical t, the fantastic Tri-sports.com bottle, medicine bag etc. Not mention salmon, fresh squeezed apple juice etc.
I will be there in two years for sure.
Actually this past weekend at a local Olympic race I did we got a BOATLOAD of stuff in the goodie bag. An actual full bag of breakfast muslix pita’s, a baseball style tshirt, powerbar, powergel…and the post race food was amazing as well. Anoth full bag of pita’s, pizza, jerky, lots of fruit, 2 kinds of bag of peanuts…All for $60 CAN. I was quite impressed.
Dude you got screwed…my bag had naked dancing girls and gold coins…

Do you mean auto show?
Pretty much the same as it ever was with the addition of several cars…including the new GT, very nice.

Any pretty bikes?
Sadly not much in the way of bikes at all. I was there pretty early so maybe they just hadn’t set up yet but most alot of stuff had to do with nutrition. I think Accelerade, Ininti, gatoraide, amino vital, power bar and probably a couple others had booths with drinks.
Come to think of it I don’t think I saw and bike bootsh set up yet.
I did see Power Cranks though.

Did anyone see that FORD (Blazer?) full of water bottles? Yeah they want us to guess how many water bottles are in there? Any thoughts?
It’s gotta be close to a thousand?
Cervelo has been set up since at least yesterday. They are right next to the Inside Out Sports mechanics.
