New Seattle Area Half IronMan

Seattle (Everett) is getting a new Half Ironman. Dannon Duathlon is gone replaced by the DannonMan Triathlon.

It has 5k in prize money. Last year they had the duathlon and a triathlon and I enjoyed it (I did the tri). Hope to see you all there.

Looks like a great race - but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 6:00 AM start time. They really want you off the roads early!

6AM is workable if this is when the oldie-von-moldies go. 60+ goes at 6AM, then fastest first:

25-29 men @ 6:30
30-34 men
35-39 men
40-44 men
18-24 men
30-34 women
45-49 men
35-39 women
50-54 men
40-44 women
55-59 men
45-49 women
50-59 women

you can speed it up more, if you need to and if you have a smaller field, but putting women with the men 10 years older, say, 45-49 men with 35-39 women.

come to think of it, i think i’d like a wave like that.

…Slowman, I thought you 45-49 guys always want to be with the 20-24 ladies :-)…at least that is how I thought the world works :-).

Slowman,

I think Bill would love it if you came to the race! I’d like to meet you and I’d even let you beat me by an hour or two in the race.
