2017 IMAZ Roll Call.....Who's In?

Brenda Ross

Yes, your legs are sore; you have blisters and rashes in places that only a post race shower can discover; and your statement of “I’m never doing another one of these again” are all becoming a distant memory.



Don’t act like you’re not thinking about it. Who’s in for 2017?



And for those of you lurking at home...and were inspired by your teammates...did you pull the trigger?!

Betsy Kantor

I'm in! #6!
This is the best I've ever felt after an IM!
Didn't ding a single toenail, no quad/ham pain at all. Minimal hip flexor/pyriformis ache gone in two days.

Who else is in?

Peter Carroll

I'm in also. I did it a few years ago and I'll be back for more in 2017!

tim cronk

In

DANIEL MOLINA

Back in. Going for 4-peat.

Gary Lewis

I won't be racing next year, but I am available for ground support for anyone who needs it. I will definitely be there cheering.

Tom Box

In

robin sarner

Am signed up. Will see how the year goes.

Julie Pfeifle

#3 for me!

Dina Myers

I'm in!   This will be IM #2 for me...unless I pull the trigger for IM TX!  : )

 

Ed Aponte

#5 for me. I'm in! What a great race venue.

Tim Dunnahoo

#5 IM for me too. Second IMAZ with my first ever IM there in 2012.

Jorge Duque

I'm in. I am looking to do my first IM at Canada in July and my second will be IMAZ. Did IMAZ 70.3 last year and had a blast.

Rodney Poepping

I'm in. Looking to do my first IM in Tempe...nevous but excited.

DAVID RICHMOND

might come to cheer u guys up...

Ed Aponte

The closer we get to it we will have to find a place to get together for dinner!  Plenty of time before we are in Tempe.  Right now it's just the first trimester of training.  

David Howard

That's the plan!   IMAZ #3     (IMSR in July too) 

Pedro Diaz

I'm in!  This will be my second time in IMAZ and third IM!

Satish Punna

I'm in for IMAZ 2017- will be there on my own.  Should I book a package with endurancetravel (ken Glah) or the like?

Ed Aponte

How's everyone doing?

David Howard

Yikes!   I feel very deconditioned post IMSR!  Like 20w less FTP and VDOT down 2-3 points.  Sad part is this is less than at this point last IMAZ '15.....and my goal is to drop 30 min from that time <11hrs......    Doing a modified 4th transition week with a Big Day kick off to the start of Minimalist 12week plan.   Likely to have a lot of 10-12+ HR days coming up, possibly added weekends too....
Still trying to be effecent and optimistic!

Every one else?

Julie Pfeifle

Getting ready to race ITU Long Course in Penticton Sunday - kind of a 3/4 IM distance; will definitely be a wake-up call to the next 12 weeks pre-AZ.  At the very least, will provide me a baseline from which to improve!  I'm excited to really work these next 12 weeks!

jimmy augustine

just signed up! was gonna do los cabos but the mrs was a little nervous about the problems there so we switched. Fine W me as it is an extra week to train!

jimmy augustine

just read some race reports and am officially super excited for this one. feel really good about my decision to switch.

Julie Pfeifle

How are all you IM AZ racers doing?  I'm sad to say it's not happening for me this year.  Family health issues in the last couple weeks changed my plans (and priorities), but... I am 95% sure I will be there on race day, spectating and cheering you all on.  We have family there and had already planned to spend the week after through Thanksgiving with them.  Best of luck, all, with your final big week and taper time... oh, how I love taper time!!!

Gary Lewis

@Julie Pfeifle sorry to hear you won't be racing, take care of your mom, there are plenty of races.  I hope to see you here.
