IMC sells out on-site, meaning if you're not actually there, you won't get in...<br /><br />... except last year, for some reason, they had two extra sets of spots come open weeks later. I think it's because people registered but then didn't follow through. I was lucky enough to snag one.Jon Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194112285903636442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603310121784038818.post-14929859844399147772009-07-15T10:58:52.147-04:002009-07-15T10:58:52.147-04:00Thanks for the links, I forgot about those posts.
...Thanks for the links, I forgot about those posts.<br /><br />Just out of curiosity sense you're running the IMC when do the registrations usually open? They seem to sell out very fast.Boris Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12109794946605173132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603310121784038818.post-21657136447612099022009-07-14T15:44:01.701-04:002009-07-14T15:44:01.701-04:00Clip-on aero bars were the first, but then to get ...Clip-on aero bars were the first, but then to get the right position I also needed the Profile Design fast-forward seat post (and I bought their Tri-stryke saddle). It's worked out well.<br /><br />This is what it looks like:<br />http://www.marshmallowman2ironman.com/2008/12/my-franken-bike-trek-1200-for.html<br /><br />And my post about bike fit (includes a great link):<br />http://www.marshmallowman2ironman.com/2009/01/bike-fit.html<br /><br />Oh and I also got the rear seat double bottle holders so I can hold more liquid for those 4+ hour rides! :)Jon Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194112285903636442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603310121784038818.post-60457308259293579022009-07-14T14:48:48.875-04:002009-07-14T14:48:48.875-04:00lol, glad you enjoy that part.
Say I've been ...lol, glad you enjoy that part.<br /><br />Say I've been looking into the 1200 and it looks like it is the previous trek model that corresponds to the 1.2 that I have.

I'm really happy with the set-up, it's been comfortable over long distances, so I'm good to go! <br /><br />I don't mind it so much, and it's a hoot to blast by Cervelo-full-disk-wheels-and-aero-helmet-guy on it. :)Jon Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194112285903636442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603310121784038818.post-52659632994184455942009-07-13T15:09:30.302-04:002009-07-13T15:09:30.302-04:00Good luck in your last steps of the IMC prep.
