This Sunday I'll be making the daunty attempt to register for Ironman Florida through active.com. How tough is it really to succeed? If I'm at my computer with credit card in hand the second registration opens, is it still such a crap-shoot? Any strategic tips? Thanks in advance.

F.Y.I. This year’s Ironman European Championship / Ironman Germany is still 10 days out but registration for this popular European Ironman event will open early for next year race. Because of the tremendous demand during the past years and also to give those athletes who will leave for holidays after this year´s race a chance to register early.

Man, not sure why it's always a shock how expensive this stuff is... :) Just went through registration for Boise... $15+ processing fee? $10 USAT fee? man this stuff adds up fast. And why does Active charge the end user for processing? shouldn't that come out of the event directors pocket for using their system? Is it free for event directors but customers get charged for them to use it?
