Ironman 70.3 Swansea

Another 70.3 in the UK IRONMAN 70.3 Swansea - Anything is Possible

Just pulling conversation from the 2022 race thread

I’m just hoping I get a TriClub priority entry at £265 rather than Tier 4 of £340!

@Sowler - can you not swim or cycle to back up that run of yours?
I’ve not strava stalked you enough yet :see_no_evil:
Cascais was after a marathon, wasn’t it?
I did 4:27 at Cotswold 113, after 6 years off, but it suits a fat lad like me :innocent:

Anyone in a Cardiff Tri kit will get stoned to death. The Swansea-Cardiff football game is bonkers - right up there with West Ham-Millwall and Birmingham-Villa.

( i don’t get Cardiff - there’s nothing there that appeals to me at all)

Less of that please, or I’ll be forced to make my avatar the St George cross!

See my post in the Cascais thread. Summary, I can’t swim, and bike is average to good.

It’s on my daughters birthday so unlikely I’ll ever do that one unless they shift a week later in August or earlier into July

But the route won’t pass anywhere near here.

Great, accurate advertising! :joy:

:joy: Yes true. Its not too far away.

So when do IM decide to use the country name and when the local town?

It’s IMUK not Bolton I think
Wales not Tenby
But Staffs, Swansea, Barcelona, Copenhagen
