No IM in 2008?

So I had planned to do IM Canada in 2008 but found you can only register in person. No big deal, I'll just register for Coeur d'Alene again. Five days after the race and the race is sold out for next year??? Ok next plan is to do IM Kona 70.3 next May and then IM Lake Placid (IMLP). Great plan, right? I managed to get registered for Kona and went to register for IMLP the day registration opened only to find registration has closed (it sold out in minutes!!!!). Next plan to was pay extra money and register via the Community Fund (registration fee and and charity donation for local charity) only to find this appears to already be sold out. Aaarrrgggghhhh!!!! I'm still verifying whether it really is sold out but it looks grim.

Now I'm looking to look at community fund for Canada or possibly IM Wisconsin. I'm not sure what will come for next year. I'm going to need to go all out in Kona in May to try and get slot for Kona even though there are only 20 slots.

More to come........
