Half Ironmans

Given the professional exam is in mid to late february -- preparing for a half ironman one month later is probably the archetype of "bad plan."


04.30.2005
INstead I could probably do the jamba juice half ironman, held on 04.30.2005 (sat).

05.22.2005
There's also the Walt Disney Half Ironman. But the truth is, I'm not a big disney fan.

07.16.2005
Muncie's triathlon half ironman distance (go stay with A and drive down night before the race).

08.21.2005
PIgman race in Palo Iowa. Could go home for the 3-5 days.

09.11.2005
The Big Kahuna triathlon in Santa Cruz. Probably a front runner in my choices given the timing and geographic proximity (it'll be cheaper because I won't need to ship a bike, and I won't need to fly/ship gear).

09.17.2005
Event half california man. Looks promising as well -- run out of Folsom.

09.25.2005
Las VEgas Triathlon at Lake Mead. Sounds interesting and good timing.

10.30.2005
Tempe Arizona and the red rock half ironman apparently also called SOMA triathlon.

11.13.2005
Miami Half Ironman.


The above is the list of potential candidates -- the fall '05 races, would be done in 06 rather than in 4 months :-).
