Fast forward to Tuesday or Wednesday after your Ironman. It's very likely that you're sitting on the couch, with your shattered legs on the coffee table, scratching your sunburned head as you try to remember your dog's name--which you've forgotten--because all you've thought about for the past 6-9 months is Ironman.

I'm wanting to do Ironman Florida in 2010 (NEXT YEAR not this year) and I'm curious what is the best way to sign-up for it? I was reading on their website and saw this note: "Most full Ironman races sell out within hours of opening entry the day after each event. Please plan to sign up a year in advance if you want to secure a general entry spot."

With just about seven days left before the race, athletes are in full-on taper mode, packing and reviewing final preparations before making the trek to beautiful Coeur d'Alene, ID. Without a doubt, a large part of pre-race anxiety is due to not knowing what race day will bring in terms of the course, weather, the competition, etc.

Training to race my first Ironman this fall and I'm trying to figure out how to carry food for the bike without having to load a bento box or stuff a jersey in transition. anybody have some good recommendations for carrying food other than these two?

I am traveling to Nice in June/July with my boyfriend who is doing Ironman France. I am wondering if I should take his Ritchie Bike (which breaks down into a suitcase - but is too big for me) or if I should try to rent one? If I rent, does anyone know of a place to go? Any suggestions? I want a road bike.
