2018 70.3 Florida (North American Championship) - Who's Going? UPDATE
If you have not heard yet (you must be under a rock) we won the 2017 IRONMAN 70.3 Pan American TriClub Champion for division I! Our team trained hard and showed up ready for the challenging course in Puerto Rico and proved that it was worth the effort!
Their efforts not only secured us the Triclub Championship Win, but it officially qualified us for 2018 IRONMAN 70.3 North American Championship which will take place during IRONMAN 70.3 Florida. The tentative date for IRONMAN 70.3 Florida is April 8, 2018.

@Rory Gumina - I am at the Holiday Inn Express in Davenport (I-4, exit 55). There isn't squat in Haines City and this is a quick drive up the road. I stayed there the last time I did this race. Comfort Inn and Quality Inn are at the same exit.
Also staying at the HI Express. The one other time I did this race we stayed at a VRBO house nearby in Haines City that was OK. Our experience was that they wait to accept weekend reservations in hopes of longer bookings.
Haines City isn't a particularly exciting destination, but easy access (40 miles) from Orlando airport. It is one of the more spectator friendly venues (3 loop run, centered around park with stuff to do for the family).
Reference parking; I got there pretty early last year, parked about 4 blocks away and was done with transition...by the time I left transition there was a line a mile long to get in; totally worth the piece of mind to get in, get out, and relax and focus. Will be staying with friends again this year about 30-40 minutes away.
@Sabra Gonzalez - yay!!!
Participating with the team was a big motivator for me when I signed up.
