Join Ben to race a double triathlon in Thailand ( http://www.lagunaphukettriathlon.com/ )! Week 1: Laguna Phuket Triathlon; Week 2: Ironman 70.3 Thailand. Here's the details... 1) The Laguna Phuket triathlon sold out BUT they have given me race slots for any athletes who want to accompany me for this trip. The 70.3 race is still open for entry. 2) I was able to book a block of rooms at the main hotel at the center of the race hub and *exactly* where you want to be for all the action, for a 30% DISCOUNT (plus, cut that in half if I hook you up with a roommate). 3) I was given all information about WHAT you need to do to get the rooms and to register for the race, along with special "travel agent" pricing, even though I'm not an agent. 4) I have had 8 athletes confirm that they will be attending and so that leaves room for SEVEN additional athletes. I simply don't see myself being able to arrange logistics and guide more than FIFTEEN athletes on this trip. So, 7 slots left. 5) Let's be very straight up about cost: I am flying from Seattle in the U.S. and, not counting food & incidentals, am budgeting $2950 USD for the entire trip, start to finish. 6) Let's also be very straight about MY responsibilities: I will get YOU your hotel, a roommate to share costs with, your race slot, get you and your bike from the airport to the hotel, do guided race course tours, get awards banquet tickets if you want one, and arrange all nightly dinners, social functions and group parties. 7) Let's finally be very straight about YOUR responsibilities: YOU will register for the race following my instructions, arrange your own flight into Phuket, pay $200 USD for me to organize everything, and make sure you settle with me for your share of the room block. So IF YOU WANT IN, reply very soon! I will be acting fast to squeeze us into the race. Like I said, only 7 slots are left. 6.
