Comm over at Common Man Syndrom says that he has it on good authority that the California Ironman 70.3 will become a full Ironman in 2009. Apparently, they'll just make every thing two loops. There's nothing on the website at the this writing, so we'll see. Had I known this last November, when I signed up the Ironman Arizona for November 2008, I might have waited. Oh, well...it's still just a rumor.
