Actually NAS and WTC put on IM events.

This new IM entry system sucks! It is not entirely fair... in my opinion. I tried to sign up for IM LP on Monday (21JUL08) and it was already sold out before the entries even got on-line! Now it is getting to a point where you need to be at the race venue just to purchase an entry for next year's event!

I think many more "smaller" (non-Kona qualifer) IMs will get more attention... besides they are usually about $100-$200 less expensive!

CarbonK, glad to hear you had a great experience @ IM AZ. When did you do it?.... April'08 for me, sucked! It was so frickin' hot that my tubulars were losing glue around the rims! It was like breathing in hot oven air which only "burned" my lungs. I was taking short breaths and squriting water up my nose to help hydrate (nose bleeding from extreme heat) I got so sunburned, my hands were swollen and red for 3 days! (yes, I used lots of sunblock!) I had a miserable experience and it was my slowest performance ever.
