Well on @Rooster’s podcast the other week he mentioned having a big weekend 2 weeks before then taper, this is 3 weeks. What could possibly go wrong?

All seems a bit rushed and amateurish.

Here’s a new car. It’s got 4 wheels and is shiny, but we can’t tell you the spec or how much it costs.

It was a tax dodge but it’s a long time ago and I forget the details.

All moaning about the outlaw clash, and on paper it looks bad, but lets be honest, T_C aside no one is doing two Ironman races even 2 weeks apart so the “clash” is just soshul meeja whinging for nothing. It perfect time after Bolton half for the Feel and Funk disciples also so they are looking at that I recon.

Leeds. I would rather spend the money and do one abroad.

Happy to be wrong, but not sure how long this will be around. What were IM Bolton numbers like before it went to a Half?

I agree on the longevity of the race with you but there’s no excuse not to have a challenging and picturesque bike course. So long as the local marketing is correct and we get a Brownlee or two involved the support in town should be good. Assuming the run finishes in town. For the ITU/WT races the support was excellent when it was in town. When it was a Roundhay Park not so much because if you don’t live near it, it is a right PITA to get to with a triathlon happening there.

I will do at least a relay on this one.

That’s a good video,

So what’s the cost, I’m guessing with “ACTIVE Fee” not much change from £700 these days
