Honestly, the only one I really am not interested in doing is IMAZ, which is so ridiculous because it's geographically the closest to me & its super popular among my local friends.

Boulder, CDA, Lake Placid are my top 3. I wish Tahoe was in June or July. I am interested in whistler, too, though. And H is looking over my shoulder and just yelled, "CABO!!!!" Somebody wants margs and the beach while I'm on my bike.

An ironman is intriguing. I hate biking though. Now cabo I could be down with! I'll drink on the beach with your H

This was basically my takeaway from this thread. IM, ehhhhh, we'll see (although I wouldn't pick extreme temps OR elevation, so a lot of these are not appealing to me.) Now drinking in Cabo, I can definitely commit to!

I'm down with eating a lot of cheese as well

[kams]

I just told H that he has a few hot dates for Cabo!

He also said Madison is one of his favorite cities ever, so IMWI would be awesome. I really feel like I need to try them all!

[taratru]

Cabo sounds GREAT! I will join Team kams as Lead Drinker.

When I hypothetically agreed to this 3+ yr plan, it was for WI. SO.....if I keep up with the biking, get into & like swimming, AND we get pregnant with baby #1 in a timeframe that works, I can be talked into IMWI 17'.

LAKE PLACID!!!!!!! Classic, beautiful, challenging, and I can guarantee the best town and volunteers for any Ironman anywhere!

Is it odd that I find the idea of a half IM more appealing than an Oly tri? I feel like with an oly I'd have to go fast. With a half IM I can take my damn time.

Full IM is... not happening for a while.

This is true! I think I prefer long course because I just can't go much faster, but I can go forever! Some people have different strengths. I would like to spend a year getting fast(er) though...and then be fast and long!

I'm glad I'm not alone! I hate hate hate 5k. 10k is better and I loved my half. The idea of doing a sprint tri is just nauseating enough to not even load the webpage.

I have IM 70.3 Boulder in two weeks, and IM Boulder on August 3rd this year.  2015 is still up for debate.  I'll probably do another (most likely Boulder again since it's local, but I'm open to suggestions if there's going to be an H&F group somewhere), but I would like to do my first ultra next year too.

[reginaphalange72]

Now that I got a chance to go back and read the whole thread - I am totally down for an H&F IM any year in the forseeable future. No babies or big things on my radar other than school.

My top choices would be Boulder, Lake Placid (it really is a GREAT race), and Maryland. As long as I could drive to it. I have no desire to ship my bike and travel with all that gear.

joenali - I could be convinced on the Whistler 2015 front ;-)

Good luck with both Boulders!
