Looks like WTC bought the Ironmans from NA Sports. http://www.xtri.com/features_display.aspx?riIDReport=5246&CAT=25

Don't forget that NBC is broadcasting Kona today (13 Dec) at 2:30 eastern/11:30 pacific. Comfort is the enemy of success

Ironman Championships from Hawaii airs next weekend. This is the NBC trailer for the broadcast. At 50 seconds in two guys are hugging and crying, that would be my brothers :)

Hi all, I am reasonably fit and workout regularly - I have always wanted to complete an Ironman and to date have only done the Olympic distance Triathlon which I really enjoyed...Theres an Ironman in France in June so was just wondering if 6 months would be enough time to train for the Ironman...I know this depends on the individual but a rough guide would be useful,

LifeSport Coaching is pleased to announce the 2009 Official Training Camps of Ironman and Ironman 70.3. The camps offer an experience of a lifetime and are ideal for any triathlete preparing for an Ironman or Ironman 70.3 event.

I recently completed my first IM, Florida (Nov 1). All of my training was done in heart rate 1 or 2. During the race, my heart rate stayed very low, never getting out of zone 2. Within three days of the race, my sore muscles were nearly recovered. I did not suffer any injuries during training or the race that I know of. I want to start running again but am unsure of how long I should rest.

I'm looking at IMSA 2009. I live in MN and I probably won't have any chance to do any rides outside this winter, especially the long ones. If I'm lucky I might get one ride in at the end of March, probably during taper time. Swimming should be ok but it will be boring inside the whole time. Running should be ok if we don't have a cold and snowy winter. TRImapper.com - visual triathlon finder TRIJUICE.com - triathlon news and resource site

I am looking at using the 36 week training plan for IMC. For those of you with experience using it, or those who have chosen not to use: What are the problems with this plan, i.e. what are it's primary limitations or assumptions? I have a few small tweeks I will be making, but I'm interested in what others have found. I looked at the opentri site, but am looking more for critiques.

Hello from West Los Angeles. I have recently been referred to this site by a friend who knows I am about to start training for my first ironman-distance triathlon.
