Right! Plans are afoot. IMNZ emailed today - they have some entries to pretty much all the Ironman races between now and the end of June. I just need to chose, get a spot, organise finance, flights, accommodation and logistics, get time off, find a house sitter and train. How hard can that be?
These are my choices:
Ironman South Africa – April 22, 2012;
Ironman St. George – May 5, 2012;
Ironman Australia – May 6, 2012;
Ironman Texas – May 19, 2012;
Ironman Cairns – June 3, 2012;
Ironman Regensburg – June 17, 2012;
Ironman France – June 24, 2012;
Ironman Coeur d’Alene – June 24, 2012;
My heart is telling me Nice (France) or Coeur d'Alene (which is in Idaho), but my head is telling me Australia (Port Macquarie) would be a much less complicated and expensive exercise. Speaking of exercise, I haven't been getting much lately but my coach seems to think it is OK to ease back into it and you know I like to do what I am told.
There are only limited entries to each race so I will be competing with at least 400 frustrated Australians, but fingers crossed, and Idaho or France are not so bad as far as back-up plans go.
So it is a bit more "watch this space", but I promise anticipation is delicious!
Until next week, give way to your right! After next week, all bets are off and don't be on the road at the same time as me.
love
Ironmaiden
