US based Ironman events will air on Versus throughout the month of November.  

This Sunday I'll be making the daunty attempt to register for Ironman Florida through active.com. How tough is it really to succeed? If I'm at my computer with credit card in hand the second registration opens, is it still such a crap-shoot? Any strategic tips? Thanks in advance.

It is nice to be back home. It has been a long focus and lead up to Kona and not getting the result I was after makes it a little more difficult. I was able to spend the rest of the week with my family in Kona, which was great. Spending time that was lost leading up to the race. I got to snorkel, swim, and surf with my son Kaiden.
