That and the fact that I would drown about 1/3 of the way through the swim means that I'm out too!

I thought you weren't doing any more M-dot races.

I wonder if Tribob, Dancer and H2T have done this already...after SUNDAY!!! 
Do they just sign up before anyway?
Do they do it just after hours of it all?
How does this work?

Well there is that.
So, in a state of exhaustion and perhaps pain you have to decide if you want to do it again next year. Hold on, man, just give me a couple days to relearn how to walk first and then open the registration.

It was the registration for CDA that made me say that.

I could complete the swim if they permitted life jackets and I could attach a battery and an electric motor to my back.

The registration is open. If you want to sign up, you can. No special privilege is given to prior participants. If they wanted to repeat, they had to be at the computer like everyone else.
 on me if you were asking if those that did it signed up again.

I get it. So, they probably HAVE already signed up again. That's what I'm asking.

She was asking if 2006 registration was open before the 2005 IMLP commenced. If the 2006 registration only opened AFTER the 2005 IMLP commenced, she's wondering how many repeaters really signed up.
