I am in.

Ironman Coeur D'Alene 2009 - registered !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my gosh. After about 25 refreshes of the active.com site, I was finally able to view the race registration page (apparently the site was bombarded at the time of release at 3:00pm EST/Noon PST) Inside sources say that the site was deliberately limited.... ? Why I"m unsure... they're pretty much guaranteed a rush.. it is IM afterall.... and one of a few qualifying races for Kona. Anyways... I even got to fill out a brief bio page too!

Never quite saw a waiver for race like this one before.... I believe it was 7 pages long. I was expecting the race organizers to request a blood sample to be shipped in next.

And so .. the journey begins. I'm still head in the clouds about it all right now.

Comment by Metroknow on June 24, 2008 at 10:11am: Wow that is awesome - Congratulations! Very inspiring. I checked events in my area a few months ago (10k, etc.) but never signed up for anything. I need to sign up too! I'm not exactly Ironman material quite yet, but a 10k I could train for.

Thanks for the inspiration!
