Are you talking about the Ironman Worlds in Hawaii or the Ironman 70.3 Worlds in Florida? If Hawaii, you missed it. It was a few weeks ago.
I won't be at either this year but plan on toeing the line in Hawaii in 2009 so long as I qaulify. I'm taking a year off of the long stuff (Ironman distance) and focusing on 1/2 Ironman (70.3)) and shorter stuff to get my speed back up.
