Getting a place is tricky though, right?

Registration for DATEV Challenge Roth 2022 is only possible after 5 September 2021.

Iirc it sells out in minutes.

I want one ideally that doesn’t sell out. I need to know before I enter that I’m on the right track before committing.

I’m leaning towards IM Thun, but again I don’t know if Sept is going to be its usual date. I think IM Switzerland used to be July, it didn’t run last year, and its September this year.

It looks good, nice lake swim, very scenic bike course with a few hills but nothing stupid, flat run.

Shitman never sells out.

I think that Thun will be great, I have ridden a few hills in this area, long, but nothing too steep, lovely fast descents. Lake is cooler than Zurichsee, so almost certain to be wetsuit madatory

I think July will be normal date

I think what I will do is make a shortlist of a few. Start training and then early next year, see where I am and how much time I think I need, and by then it will be clear which ones are running on what date.

so u think the world will have returned to what was the norm pre 2020 and travel won,t be an issue :see_no_evil:

I didn’t think about Challenge races either. Do they do tattoos?

Will have to see what dates they are for next year but Madrid might be worth a look. Shortlist is a good idea then look at travel, accommodation, etc.

IM Tallinn?

My mate did Tallinn, his bike and wetsuit went missing and ended up in Germany. Another one for the list.

Looked pretty at the weekend, maybe prettier than in Zurich.

I thought it looked stunning too. Will have to check what the travel there is like, etc.

Probably a bit early. Does look very nice.

Wasnt there a problem with the swim being short? Probably not a mistake they will make again though

57

The date works well for me as I find the school summer holidays quite disruptive to training.I didn’t know about the swim but hopefully they sort it out.

58

Water was too cold apparently :face_with_monocle:

@Matthew_Spooner any travel advice on how best to get there? On first glance it looks like a dircet flight to Zurich and then train via Bern. Flights to Bern seem to involve a change and that always scares me when taking a bike.

Guys. It’s the 2020s. S’all about adventure and Ultra events now :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
