Just sign up and worry about it later! I did my first IM this year and can't wait to do the next one. Each to their own but I was stunned how much I enjoyed the training as much as the event itself.
If you are interested I put all the pictures I could find into a vid on my blog - part as a good memory and part as inspiration to others after IMCH this year. You can find it here
JD -- hope you and the family are well!
