Swim is now "Optional" for Ironman

Just received an email from Ironman, Swim is now optional. Although cannot KQ without swim

I guess IM was worried that too many people would defer

He’s doing posh races.

In nice places, without council estates !!

Just posted that NO ONE is going sub 9 at IMUK even without the swim.

Unless your Brian Foggarty, a top top age grouper or a pro.

He might be the exception to every rule ?

In the spirit of fairness, shouldn’t IM also make the bike and the run optional

I did challenge Davos and the swim, bike and run were cancelled, after the race started, due to lightening. I got the tee shirt, did I complete the event?
