Where'd you see that at? That is in the back of my mind as a possible A race! Hmm...

I just checked the GCT registration page, and the 1/2 iron distance isn't listed. It only has sprint and international. ??

No half ironman at GCT this year? It's official. No Half in 2009 per RD. |

Really? No half? How come? I don't know the details. Perhaps Mickey will elaborate when the time is right. |

We will not offer the Half Utra Distance for the GCT in 2009. While this comes as a dissapointment to many we feel by adding a duathlon option to the GCT will grown the numbers. Our goal is to be able to offer a stand alone Half Ultra Event in Northeast Ohio sometime in the future, and we are currently working towards that end. Registration is currently open for the 2009 GCT and we have had some strong numbers already. We look for this event to sell out. www.active.com/event_detail.cfm?event_id=1647265Any individual questions can be sent to my email mrzymek (at) aol.com |

Probably for the best being 3 weeks out from IMKY. Forces me to keep my idiot self in check.

Looking forward to racing the Oly. It will no doubt be an excellent race as have all the previous.

I hope to do the Oly (was previously thinking about shooting for the half but oh well..) and seeing it's just a .75 mile swim ...  Also it is just a week before the race out in Vermilion which was a great one (did the oly du) and I highly recommend it as well. |
