Type: Ironman
Panama City Beach, FL
United States
Age Group Slots: 80
The swim takes place in the Gulf of Mexico. The water is warm enough for a comfortable swim, but cool enough to allow wetsuits -- every triathletes dream.
The flat and fast bike course offers a perfect opportunity for a big-time personal best. The run passes through one of America's most popular state parks.
Just as it is on the bike, the Ironman Florida run course is flat, and, in theory, fast. The run starts with a mile along the beachfront before winding its way through a series of residential neighborhoods. During this part of the course, the athletes enjoy almost non-stop support as people wait outside their houses to greet them.

I did this race in 2006 just for fun. In 2008, my goal is to shave 90 minutes off the 2006 time. It's doable, just need to keep in focus

I'll be volunteering and spectating while my husband competes. If I haven't already signed up for IMKY 2009, I might contemplate IMFL for next year.
