Are they doing anything special for the 25th anniversary? Any big names/champions coming back to race, Lori, Lisa, peter, chuckyV…
There will be a huge celebration this year.All the past winners have been invited back.Some are racing, most are just here for the party.Lot's of old legends will be spotted.There will be all kinds of different festivities including an special All Star hockey game at the arena on carbo night.Can't confirm all of the legends coming back as they have not all been found.Fireworks,laser-shows and all that jazz.Oh and there is that little race on the Sunday.
All I’ve heard is that Ray Browning and Scott Tinley, but unconfirmed.
Damn, stoked I picked this year to do IMC as my second IM! Can’t wait!
Is Lori Bowden racing, Is heather Fuhr still doing it? it would be fun to watch Heather, iisa and Lori go head to head!
Confirmations of who will be racing will come out pretty soon.Usually the cut-off for elite entries is about six weeks out from race day so all the numbers,brochures,press releases and all that crap can get done.I'm sure though if Lori or Peter turned up race morning and wanted to sign up they wouldn't be stopped.The word from Roch is that Heather is racing.Ray Browning is coming.As of a couple of weeks ago Tinley was up for it but un-confirmed.They were still trying to find Chucky V,Hellriegal and Teemu.All of the '80s male winners will be here but I can't tell you about the girls yet.
6 week deadline!!! I would more say 2 weeks! Ironman as been very generous at letting pro enter in the last 2 weeks of the race, and canada is always a race that fill up in the last 4 weeks for the pro field.
as for Hellerigel, i talk to him this morning and he said to not call him, he is busy and so it is for all the other past winners that are in any kind of shape to do well…THE ARENT WELCOME!!! dont try to track them down… leave them alone!!!
Heather is in, from what she told me! should be great to watch!
I will be there, and this will be my 15th participation in Ironman Canada … such fun
Cheers LA Rob
It's getting easier for you guys to enter because there are less and less high profile male pros wanting to come here now.That's good for you Jonnyo now if you want me to "look after" any of the competition for you let me know.Now that you are all cashed up from your winning ways you can afford my "pro athlete distraction fee".
what is the fee for distracting gordo ???
as for been cash up!!! it didnt last 24h…everything is gone and Visa is very happy
I will “take care” of Gordo if you slow down Team Dr Tommy on Ultraman weekend so they don’t show the world that I am really a slow, fat, old bastard(which of course,I am) .
Hey Nick,
I am in for IMC '07, See if I can beat my '87 time…I beat '85 last year despite being double the age…I was 15 minutes faster at Osoyoos than last year, so we will see!
Send me a PM at tom@triump-multisport.com

I am coming up to Penticton this next week for a camp and am trying to track down some locals to stay with. (Note, will provide Beer and food)
Cheers
