The WTC just announced a new North American venue. Ironman Cozumel will have its inaugural race on November 29, 2009. Cozumel is an island about 25 miles off shore from Cancun, Mexico. The most mostly like NON-wet suit race will be a walk in start, the ride will go around most of the island on flat roads and the run is a two loop 13.1 course.
IM Cozumel will be the last of five iron distance triathlons in November and will preceded in order by: Beach2Battleship (Wilmington, North Carolina), Ironman Florida (Panama Beach City), Silverman (Las Vegas) and Ironman Arizona (Tempe).
As hard as Ironman distance races are, the only mystic surrounding those that have done one, is to do the first one in a new location. This race will only allow 1,500 participants, almost a third less than stateside events. Slots will go quickly.
...as for me, it is sadly not to be.
