I am not clear on what you mean by category.
An Ironman distance race is 2.4 mile swim-112 mile bike-26.2 mile run. Completion times are between 16 and 17 hours for the finish. The swim leg and bike leg also have cutoff times that vary by race.

ok, i see categories c, s, m and cfs. i don't see a general (but perhaps that is because it is sold out already for this year)? how early do i need to register to get a spot for 2010? thanks again.

It's sold out to general entry. Not sure where you're finding these categories?
I assume cfs = Community Fund Slot. You can buy your way in for a lot more money if you really want to be there and price is no object...

i know that this is a silly question, but what do all the ironman categories mean? i would like to do an ironman next year, and i have heard that florida isn't too bad. so i went to check out the application, but couldn't even figure out which category i would apply to? i have only done one 1/2 im, but never qualified for anything lottery wise.
thanks in advance, and sorry for such a basic question.
