42 is halfway, isn’t it?
Male life expectancy at 42 is 84 
I’m bang on half way.

Whilst I have no real desire to make it to 100+ I’d like to think I’ve got a bit longer yet 
Anyway, back to 2025 races, if I don’t get into Tokyo if dates work out similar to this year then there could be back to back half marathons in Yerevan and Baku

I saw on fb that the Outlaw half Notts 2025 is open for entries and like their events. Feels that £240 + the £16.80 for the early bird discount price is a lot. Am I being overly tight?

Bolton 70.3 is currently £350 + 9.25% for a comparable race. That’s for last minute entry, but suggests they will probably be slightly more next year at £250-280ish early bird.

Bolton must be struggling a bit as they’re still allowing entries with a week to go, think tomorrow is the last day?
They were over 90% full about 4 weeks ago, so might not be too disastrous

Got a couple of mates doing it so will get feedback in a week or two.
Steelman is still about £65 no closed roads though and run is a bit rural
The one I’m doing in France looks good value.

A mate had just booked onto his first IM for his 40th next year (he’s still not done a tri yet! As we’ve deferred our half to Sept! ).
Hes doing Nice and spending a few days there with Mrs (and no kids the luck buggers).
But entry is up at 591 now! That’s obscene!

Men’s WC is back there next year and it’s probably offering a lot of slots as well as a chance to recce

I thought ballot was Oct?
no email yet am sure it will be another NO
840,318 entered the ballot this year. There’s going to be a fair few receiving a no…

Reminded me to check for Tokyo entry but GE is august and I’m guessing any Abbott 5 star is October time.
Can’t remember who was considering a charity place but it looks like they’re open now.
