A key ironman-distance resource is a Yahoo Groups discussion list called "Iron distance racing in New Zealand" or IMNZ for short.
This group was started in 1998 by Shane Hooks with the impending move of Ironman New Zealand to Taupo from its original base in Auckland.
Since then the list has been a great source of information and even entertainment for many looking to do the race, particularly for the first time. There are usually several hundred members on the list although most are 'lurkers' who don't say too much. A few regular experienced racers are on hand to provide advice on any subject relating to ironman-distance racing in New Zealand.
Recently the list had become a target of spammers. However this problem has now been resolved with only approved members allowed to post messages to the list.
You can see the list at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/imnz/. To receive posts by email, or to post messages to the list you will need to become a member of Yahoo Groups.
