TT smackdown 2026

Anyone up for a TT race 2026?

@jeffb has sort of floated this on 5th August

Don’t be fooled by the name “long course”, it’s basically a sprint and pretty flat :wink::lying_face:

Or maybe a UK based race?

So am I.

99.9% sure Im not doing it.

Copenhagen has sold out so not doing that either.

Gone off Tallin with the transport and missing baggage.

Beer mile?

Good man @Bob

I see that IM Lanza is May 23rd next year and this appears to be compatible with half term holidays :thinking::light_bulb:

Feels like a bargain at 655 euros all in! Compared to Copenhagen.

No matter what I target I always seem to peak in May

I’m about 90% yes I think, despite saying never again after 2010 there’s been an itch for the last few years to return. If it’s not full in early October I’ll probably pull the trigger, got too much to pay for this month unfortunately.

Word for word what MrsB said :lying_face:

I’m quite interested in Leeds. It would give me a reason to get running again. I say this every year though, so probably best to ignore me. As I said in the other thread, I’d do AdH again but wouldn’t want to commit to all the travel etc at this stage. Pretty sure you can enter until quite late, though.

Floated the idea of Lanza to Mrs FT and the response was alarmingly non-negative :scream:

This requires a reality check, IM’s a long way isn’t it? Not sure & will definitely not risk visiting the website like @Bob just yet.

I’ll save you some time, cheaper entries the sooner you press go :grin:

As Jeff says, it’s only going to get more expensive. Considering it is Ironman weekend and half term, prices for flights and accommodation are still reasonable for some reason.
