Usually sells out at the drop of a hat. No doubt likely to be popular next year as well.
Yes. The bike course comes back along the coast to Lisbon too
Eastbourne IronBourne It was great
we had European weather too
Lol
Iām thinking about Frankfurt, June 22nd not open yet
ITU world champs is meant to be in Ibiza in 2022, so you could try for a slot. Probably Sep/Oct.
Did an IM-dist in Ibiza a few years ago - great location for a race and cheap flights & accom at that time of year.
Iāve two hopes of getting a slot. Bob Hope and No Hope
Take up of places in AG is usually pretty low so often it is just a case of buying the kit and you are a GB athlete.
Thatās another deferred race I believe. Theyāre treating the event as a full/70.3 double and the 70.3 is always early May.
The Spanish long distance champs were in Ibiza a few years ago. Wanted to go. Didnāt. Sounds a great idea.
Spare yourself. There are several good reasons to have this way down the list.
Hmm. Seems a lot fewer options than I first thought. What about Barcelona? Thatās always October isnāt it?
Iām building a near shore dev team in Barcelona might be able to combine it with a business visit and get the company to front the flights and accommodation. Can imagine the conversation with the procurement team. Yes I need to take a bike box, we are , err, writing software for a bike company, and err, umm, need to test it.
Let me know if you need an information security audit of the team and environment there. Ive done spain before.
Iāll be out at Barca in seven weeks if the race goes ahead this year.
@Jorgan I have family in Frankfurt so the chances of getting approval are about a zillion percent higher
Thanks Iāll mention that to the CTO. Honestly so far they have done very little.
Obvious qu, may have missed it. Does it have to be IM branded? That would open your options even further, even if you were only adding Challenge into the mix
Thatās a good point, I hadnāt thought about that. Will take a look at those as well. I couldnāt care less what brand it is really.
Surely Roth is worth consideration
That used to be the case for the long course champs, but I think you have to provide a time within 115% of the AG winner at a middle or full distance race now to qualify.
