Ironman Contest and Athlete Spaces

Yesterday, MSN launched the Ironman Explorer site where users can find out more about this years Ironman Contest, participants and take part in some fun games. The solution has three main components

   * The Course Explorer takes users on a virtual ride Acer btp-41d1 battery through the race course and allows you to Explore the race - the terrain, vista points, and course history via a custom interactive flash application that lives on the Ironman Explorer destination page. Users will also be able to explore the Ironman through content on race history and event coverage. 
   * Selected Ironman Triathletes who will share their journey to the Ironman via MSN Spaces. We anticipate that this first hand perspective will allow our users to develop a connection with these great athletes and perhaps become inspired to become their own Ironman.
   * For the users who find inspiration from the Ironman Acer BTP-42C1 battery and want to become involved in triathlons, we'll provide content on training for and finding a local race.  Users will also be to race their Messenger buddies in the Virtual Ironman Challenge Messenger Game.

These types of deals are great to do Acer BTP-44A3 battery and make the Spaces team feel good about our products. They can be used in a way that lets advertisers take part in a fun and engaging user experience without being intrusive.

Spaces did this with the Volvo What's Your Story Hub when we launched Acer BTP-50T3 battery in April. We then did it with Rockstar-INXS over the summer and now Ford Ironman. There are a couple of other exciting ones coming down the road.

Let us know what you think of these sites. Are they fun? What would you like to see on them?
