What HIM is everyone plan to do if any for train up for IMLOU?

From the looks of the post and comments form different post on here, looks like Muncie is a favorite. Muncie was fun last year. We should get together there as well.

i'll be doing a 1/2 in grand rapids michigan (GR Tri). it's the second year of the race and in my hometown. love that it's local! and it was a great race. that's probably it for tri's, though i'm looking for a 1/2 marathon in april/may (probably in michigan as well.) if anyone else is doing the GR tri, holler!

Ben, I live in GR but my concern was that GRTRI was too far out. I will probably do the OLY distance. I posted yesterday that I am looking at Muncie as my 70.3. Hopefully we can meet sometime as I know of a couple of other people in GR signed up for IMKY. I also like Muncie because I've read that it has typically been very HOT.

You could come down to Champaign, IL for the Illinois Marathon at the end of April :) Here is the link to the page:

I'm doing the Illinois Half, Christy. Did it last year and loved it. I am originally from Illinois so I always stay with my parents for it. It's a great race.

Thinking about the Cardinal Harbor 1/2 IM. Says it uses some of the IMLOU bike course. Plan will be to race Saturday, stay Saturday night and ride the IMLOU course on Sunday. At least that's what we are thinking as of now.

I'll be in Connecticut up until IMLOU, so I'm planning to do the Quassy Rev 3 Half at the beginning of June.

I did the Muncie 70.3 last year, and it was a perfect tune-up race for IMLOU.

Eagleman in early June

I did Muncie last year and it would seem the timing would be about right for a tuneup/test. Cardinal Harbor would also be a cheaper option. I have heard the climb out of the harbor is brutal with several other challenging climbs. Don't know much about the run.
