Princeton Ironman 70.3

[shorewife]

New for 2014.  Its Sept 21 and open registration starts 12/16.  I'm going to register - it will be my first half ironman!!

Awesome! Lots of time - it will be great!! Everyone told me it was the best distance when I signed up for my first - they were right

I had no idea Princeton was going to be a IM 70.3 site. Interesting! Is the course relatively flat?

I so would've loved it if they did one in a NJ shore town. I'd have been all over that.

I am already registered for 2 70.3's for 2014. They will be #2 and #3 for me. Welcome to the madness!

Me neither!  Sounds like its going to be some rolling hills but pretty flat.  I'm really excited!!

Good luck with your training!

I'd love to do this race b/c it's within 15 minutes of my in-laws, meaning I could save on travel/hotel fees. But I don't think I'd be ready to even consider a half until 2015. 

Also, I'm confused--I don't think this race ever goes through Princeton (unless its part of the bike?). I think it's just West Windsor, Hamilton, and maybe Lawrence that are adjacent to Mercer County Park. Not a big deal, but if I were a racer and expecting to go through Princeton and instead was going through the burbs of West Windsor, I'd be a bit disappointed.

Seems that many things in that area are referred to as Princeton even though they aren't. West Windsor Ironman doesn't have the same ring to it anyway
