IMC vs IM CDA confusion

Anyone else think Ironman Coeur D’alene should be IMCRD or IMCOR IMCDL or something other than CDA? Looks too much like Canada. I know Ironman Canada is just IMC, but IMCDA looks like it should be Canada. I bet many people get confused. Just thought I’d say it.

I’ll fess up. Completely thought they were the same event for the first year I posted here. I was also thoroughly confused by IMMOO/IMOO.

+1. That explains why nobody was around when I showed up in Idaho wearing my wetsuit at the end of August.

FWIW, “CdA” is a widely accepted local abbreviation for “Coeur d’Alene”. I even use it for a return address on mailed letters.

How about IMKY vs. IMLOU … ?!

How about IMKY vs. IMLOU … ?!

Or IMKY vs. IMJelly …

Or IMNY instead of IMNJ?

Finally a relevant discussion in the Forum!

I was confused by this at first too… for about 6 seconds. Then I figured it out. Hasn’t been an issue since. Do we really need to worry about it?
