Looks like we might be doing our own again ?
No, this year!
They just postpone them until later in the year.

Dan fucking Empfield pretending like he knew.
What at utter cockwomble
Did he actually say that bit? I only half listened tbh.

Well at least he’s being honest…‘we’ll keep you guessing until it’s too late’

We’ll keep your money, keep you guessing, but hand out massive promotions to all of our exec team.

For some reason I thought Oceanside was actually called by a governor or something, access to parts of the course?
There are races going on over there atm, at least a few marathons, not the huge ones though. I suspect it’s more down to the leanings of that state 
IM Bolton in November 2021, anyone?

I received the notice about Roth Postponment… went straight onto booking.com FA available for about 20kms
Sept.
We hope
Just been reviewing Challenge Roth Course ahead of race next weekend… No Solarberg on this year’s course. Course is shorter and 200m flatter so should be fast.
Guessing it’s a covid thing to stop large numbers of people gathering?
I did a recce of teh course a few months ago, there are alot of road works at the top of Solarberg, I think that they are completely changing the road layout, so it could be that the road is currently closed
Wait, the bike course is only 160km long??? 
How will you call yourself an Ironman after that?

No there is a leg going into Roth. I loaded the GPX of the course into Garmin and it is 174km, it says 170km on Challenge Roth Website.
Hamburg was long, so this just evens things out a bit… If I go sub 10, I am taking it.
1235m compared with 1578 in 2019
