Possibly pencilling this in for next year’s event, has anyone actually done it yet with all of the covid cancellations?
They only tan it once didn’t they pre covid - and the swim was cancelled as the weather was so shite? Brownlee won it?
Wasn’t too sure, could have gone to their results page if I’d been a bit less lazy!
Yes, fairly sure that’s correct, wonder if people will have deferred to 2023?
Just had a look at the start list for 2022 and it’s pretty long so assuming a lot of deferrals on there. Possibly the smallest host village on the IM circuit?
It has the only date available between my kids birthdays over the summer holidays but I can’t inspire the mrs with a holiday in Ireland. Personally I’ve always wanted to visit Cork, and I’d imagine the crac is great before and after.
Yeah, unless you have family over there or are American, I don’t see the appeal. Seems like one of the riskier options on the calendar.
Somewhere I’ve not done before, accommodation is the biggest issue to rub out that pencilled in part. Don’t really fancy the german ones, some I’ve haven’t done are a PITA to get to and a couple I just don’t fancy, we shall see…
Just asked mrs what week to book off work

£650 ish? Damn
Seems like a lot of dough; but then they were over €500 back when I last did one in 2019. But still seems like a hike; especially when you think the organisation won’t be on a continental level when it comes to full road closures etc?
Due to go ahead today, but because of Storm Betty it’s been postponed until tomorrow.
I’m sure the punters are delighted .
Ouch, people with flights or ferries etc. it’s had a lot of issues this race, swim got cancelled the year Ali B won I think? I know they couldn’t do anything about Covid.
Another one that will probably be binned or moved soon.
As a 70.3.
With a 1pm start time.
Otherwise no volunteers as they’re all at church
Oh my days. Pay for a full and get a 70.3 you’d have to be raging!!
I’d say this is heading for the chopping block as well then.
Oh I think the 70.3 was due to run today and the full tomorrow and they’re running both tomorrow
I thought it was a dual race? Not sure if split days though?
As @Adam says the 70.3 from today has been postponed until tomorrow and run alongside the full.
