Nobody disagrees with you, including the OP. He just called it what it's called. Not sure why you're making such an issue of this...
Thanks for looking out but I think it is best to just let it go. Every forum has THAT person.
I agree that it is a half which is why I said 70.3 and not just Ironman. If I can figure out how to go back and edit my first post I will.

Anyway, looks like the trip is coming together. A buddy from work is going to join and his brother lives 15 minutes west of Boulder so we have a tour guide and even a place to crash! Thanks again for all the great advice.
Sorry, I wasn't trying to be a jerk, but it probably came off that way. My apologies.

Thanks, very big of you, you are clearly not THAT guy if you apologize. Most of those people don't know that word exists. I have read some stories about how 140.6 people feel about 70.3 people getting the Ironman tattoo (I do NOT have one) so I understand how the 140.6 crowd feels. Heck, if I ever complete a 140.6 I might just be on the front lawn with you telling those 703er's to get off our lawn :-D
Thanks for the 14ers advice!
