I wonder how long until they release the course info for Waco. Rumor is that, at least for the run, it won't be just double the 70.3 course. Damn near everyone I've talked to that has done Waco 70.3 said they would NEVER do a full there if it meant double the 70.3 course.
How about a marathon that completely bypasses Cameron park and all of those hills? NOW we're talking.Jim01 said:

We appreciate your patience as we work diligently with our various host city partners to finalize event details. While we understand that this is not ideal, please be assured that we are working hard to provide you with an opportunity to experience an exceptional event in the future.
We are pleased to confirm that the IRONMAN Texas bike course will be approximately two loops of the Bicycle World Texas IRONMAN 70.3 Waco bike course.
While the IRONMAN Texas run course has not been finalized, we can confirm it will not be four loops through Cameron Park.
Lastly, we are delighted to share with you The Woodlands to be the host city for the 2021 Memorial Hermann IRONMAN Texas.
We thank you for your commitment and further event details will be communicated as soon as possible.

Well Kona (October) and 70.3 Worlds (November) both just got delayed until next year. Does not bode well for IMTX Waco edition.
I saw my doctor last week and he is one of the main doctors for IMTX. When I mentioned Waco he gave me a look like "Yeah right". I asked him and he said he didn't think it would happen, "I would elect to defer to 2021 if I was you."
I elected to stick with Waco but am not getting my hopes up. Texas is so far at the forefront of reopening (which I'm not sure is wise), so maybe they will stick it out.
Either way I just hope they decide before I get 80% through training again.
