2014 Ironman Texas - Who's In?

John Stark

OK, so I have said I am retired from Ironman and I even sold my tri bike.  But this week I caught the IM bug.  Just registered for Texas in May 2014. 

Who else is in?

John

P.S.  It is all Tom Glynn's fault!

tim cronk

Yes... welcome aboard... look forward to meeting you John.

@Jeff - You WILL toe the start line with us!

Have not registered yet, but Lord willing I can soon. Just hope its not as Hot as Last year. But living here in Texas, you think I would be acclimated to it. LOL

Jeff Braaten

I am waffling on this race. I have done it twice and it is soooo hot on the run. But so nice on the bike. Can't decide.

Jeff Braaten

No more waffling, I'm in!

robin sarner

sorry Jeff.     I mean welcome.

Mike Weinmann

I'm in for IMTX '14. was my first IM in 2012 and can't wait to try out EN-style execution this time around after struggling a bit on the run last time

look forward to seeing you all there!

John Stark

Braaten is IN?  Nice!  He is buying beers!  

Looks like a good group so far.  WOOHOO!

I'm in for Texas. Staying at La Quinta. Looking forward to a one loop bike course.

jdseaverson

I will be there too!  Since I am training in Minnesota, love to hear some thoughts on training for the heat and humidity.  I did well in the heat at IM Louisville, but I had the summer to train in the heat.  Minnesota in April and May is not the same as May in Texas! 

Dino Sarti

I am out.... I am doing Chattanooga. No double IM for me next year.....

Ryanlittman

Staying at Marriott Woodland Waterways. Host hotel.

Michael Johnson

I'm in. Doing IMTX and IMLOU in 2014. Looks like a hot and humid IM schedule for 2014!!

ericadallasK

That's impressive! I am a bit nervous about the heat and I live in the Dallas area. happy training.

ericadallasK

Looking forward to IMTX. Ibwas supposed to race it last year but backed out last minute due to hip/knee strain which was completely my fault. I hope to do a late season IM as well. Goid luck!

robin sarner

Cool all. Looking forward to some texas redemption.

Gonzalo Canteros Paz

I am in. Did it in 2012. 13 hrs.(was first IM ever). Did NYC in '12 and CDA in '13

Coming back with much higher expectations in '14 !

ericadallasK

Wow, that's awesome! I hope to race CDA someday. I've heard that it's quite beautiful.
