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.

They are doing the 1/2 Ironman this weekend at Clearwater Beach, Florida
They will be running by the resort I manage on the beach.
Traffic will be blocked off and and it will be a mess.
I have a lot of respect for those athletes.
Swim, Bike, Run 70 miles.

Don't forget the .3!
You will have some of the top triathletes in the world powering themselves past you! Should be a great race. Actually should "have" been a great race since it was this morning. I guess I'll go check the results.
