I really don't get it. Shouldn't UCT-6 (Panama City) to UCT+1 (Germany) be seven hours?

(starting feel dumb...) [:(]

Panama City is not EST, but EST-1. You want to operate on EST (Florida).

[Historiker]

hmm...
But the website is about panama city, so it'll be EST-1, I guess - no?

I've found it:

 When can I sign up for next year's race?

• On site at 9:00 AM local time and online at 12:00 P.M. local race site time the day after the race.

So as Panama City is in 7 hours away, it'll be 7 hours.

[DuckofTindalos]

You sure you have the right Panama City there? [;)] This is Panama City, Florida. Not Panama City, Panama, which is what Wikipedia is talking about, methinks.

[Historiker]

According to Wikipedia, Florida west of the Apalachicola River (where Panama City is situated) is UCT-6 while the majority is UCT-5. As I am UCT+1 and it is UCT-6, my rudimentary math knowledge tells me there are seven hours of difference.

[DuckofTindalos]

Well, if that's the case (and you want to trust Wikipedia[;)]), then you're obviously correct.

Unless your wearing my watch... in which case its always 5 o'clock.

puh...

At least I'm not dumb [:)]

But whether to trust Wikipedia... Well, a little faith is always needed, no? [;)]

[DuckofTindalos]

Well, if it were me, I'd probably double-check the location on Google Maps.

Part of the Fla Panhandle is in the Central Time Zone.....didn't realize Panama City fell within it....if so, my fault.  

[bradfordkay]

The Redneck Riviera, err... Panama City, Florida... is in the Central Time Zone of the US. I have no idea as to what time zone their website is using. You may want to write the administrator to make sure...

Hello Mike.

Gotta be prepared for Florida:

Thank you for your email and your interest in Ironman. The best way to ensure your entry into 2010 Ford Ironman Florida would be to register the day after the event at 2009 Ford Ironman Florida. On-Site registration for next year's race will be held Sunday, November 8th from 9-11 am. The location is to be determined. The general entry registration fee is $550. Otherwise, general entry registration will become available online at www.active.com Sunday, November 8th at 12pm. Hope to see you at 2010 Ford Ironman Florida. 

Do you know how fast it'll be sold out?

according to wikipedia it's Eastern Standard Time (UTC−5) there, so hopefully this will be the 9AM they talk about?

Yes, it is EST there, but online registration doesn't open until 12PM. 9AM is only for onsite registration. I know a lot of people who attend to support friends racing this year, and to register for next year while they are there.

you going to run it next year?

[Historiker]

I am, yes.
