Maybe I enter IM Mallorca with my Spanish credits. It’s only 4 weeks after I start, and I could probably keep training ticking over around the new job until then, and just take a very short break (Thursday to Sunday) to get it done.
Shame though, as I wanted to experience Wales!
It’s not definitely cancelled though, is it?
Didn’t know there was a specific ‘Wales’ fb page.
Fucking annoying not knowing really with the Outlaw entries closing Tuesday.
Saying that I’ve had feck all proper long distance prep and the week after Staffs
… heard they couldn’t - the beer was off
Sounds like they are waiting for the Welsh Government to remove restrictions, then it will be on. If restrictions remain then 
FBw page hopeful
Great news, hopefully get some confirmation from Pembrokeshire Council or Ironman soon!
Did a nice course recce on Saturday, Swim - 1 loop, Bike - Inner loop and Run - 1 loop.
#ItsOn 
See you on the beach 
It just got very real. First time for me. Cant wait.
Great news.
Hope it runs, not least because I fancy doing my 6th IM Wales in 2022
Sounds really positive for my 1st IMW.
How has your training been? Feeling confident? Are you local?
I could go a 4th (start), maybe 
Not local, I live in pan flat Essex so a hilly 5 hour ride is just under 1000 meters. Due to work and family commitments, I’m playing catch-up with swimming with 2.5k being the usual lake swim at the moment. Oh and I hate running and struggle beyond 18k.
Apart from that pretty good!
I’m probably the only person that would be happy if it was canx. Obviously gutted for all you guys & gals but maybe next year I’ll be able to run.
At this rate it will be swim, pootle round the bike, do 1 lap of the run/walk, DNF, hit the pubs for party time.
Could be worse now I think about it but it is an expensive day out to not complete.
Not sure what’s taking them so long to confirm it’s on. Restrictions are lifted so what are they waiting for.
Would be nice for them to send some kind of update
Welcome!!
I guess from Ironmans side of things the race always was ‘on’
I would guess it’s down to Pembrokeshire CC to give it the all clear though
Progress email would be nice though
Can you not ask for a deferral? They’ve been a lot more understanding recently and often not even asked for a reason.
I think we’ll get the go-ahead today but there’s a strong possibility it’ll get postponed again. COVID figures are going up and won’t come down once UK restrictions are lifted. Happy to be proved wrong though!
Not good for us who will keep training in the hope it goes ahead.
Yep. Need to come up with an 8 week block after Staffs this weekend.
Desperate for some long rides
