Carol and I will definitely be there in 2015. Probably this year if we weren't committed to Mt Tremblant. It's an easy drive for us and I love the Eagleman course!!
Hotel: Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay
Benefits: Location of Athlete Check-In and Busses to Race Site
Room Type: Two Double Beds or 1 King
This close to the race there is no deal on the price...they will quote you $289/night which is really $347/night including taxes and fees...so I am working on some extras for you interested folks.
Curious to know your # of nights and interest, etc. Sorry so loosey goosey!
I am probably going to register. I have no family/friends locally, so have no idea where I'd stay, etc. I'm interested, but that rate seems really high (not your fault Coach P). I'd be willing to split a room though. Would have to be some serious good perks to justify that rate for me.
However, I live in Texas (cheaper here I'm sure) and may be out of touch with how much lodging would cost at a Holiday Inn, Comfort Suites, Marriott Courtyard, etc in that area? Maybe I'm out of touch with reality.
That probably doesn't help you one bit...
We can certainly look at more reasonable options, this is just the first thing that came to mind because of the short timeline.
@ Michelle...I didn't get the email either (and registered yesterday). So, that makes me assume that something is not right on their end? I sent them an email explaining our confusion. Per the original email, we have until 11AM E.T on Thursday to register, so I'm hoping they're just delayed in getting the emails out to those who registered?
I am in for IM Maryland. I would be happy to split a room at the Hyatt with another male, if anyone is interested (if any rooms still available).
Coach P.....any updates on alternative hotel, or is this the one you'll stick with? Or we on our own like usual?
Any locals know if this will be wetsuit legal or not (in Texas, anything on Sep 20 would NOT be wetsuit legal!)?
@ Jennie....I got mine and was able to register last night. I had emailed triclub@ironman.com and the lady manually added me to the list. I would suggest you do the same and also PM Brenda Ross to see if she has any other tips. Alternatively, general registration is now open! I suspect if you just register right now you'll have no problem.
I will need a place to stay, but I can be very lazy about looking around. Haven't decided whether to fly or drive, depends upon where we are living.
I am looking forward to meeting everyone!
Carol and I are in!! Great course and hoping it will be cooler than Eagleman usually is!
I can't find diddly squat information on IMMD yet. Does anyone have any knowledge of the course, weather, etc.? This used to be Chesapeakeman? Couldn't find much on that either.
