LostSheep is also a nice training tester for Barca, only a few weeks before.
Again, don't compete, just enjoy the day out and go at a % of race effort.

But, who nows if either will happen this year ...

They are bringing out a statement next week I think plus sold out as well but it is one the bucket list. which only got longer this year

Ironman have rearranged Vitoria to October 12th so can't see why Barcelona wouldn't happen in that case.

Reckon the delay of phase 4 impacts the planned TI races?

Any races happening before Aug 10th with more than 200 people will need to re-plan

I can’t see much changing after August 10th if anything we’ll be going backwards.

I heard Lost Sheep has been cancelled as well.

any word on that?

Hardman currently still going ahead it said on Facebook

Hardman half (Waterville) has to cut numbers to 200 (and that includes Marshalls). Its a shame as he had good numbers booked for this race, its a small operation but a model for what Tri races can be like in Ireland.

Pitty indeed but at least it is going ahead. Fingers crossed all goes well. What you wouldn't want to hear is that because of the race there were additional cases. I was thinking of doing Celtic warrior not so sure anymore now.

Vittoria was cancelled today. Looks like Barca will probably get the bullet too

Patiently waiting on the plug to be pulled on Weymouth though a combination of Wait-and-see Boris and the famously charitable Ironman mean it'll be the very last minute

while this is a nice glass half full post i think with parts of catalonia in a lockdown this is more a wishful thinking post that a mass event will happen in catalonia. its naturally ironmans goal to stage the races but i would not use ironman as an indicator what race will happen i would look at the numbers in the region.
i guess at this stage i would think estonia and austria still to happen and races in france seem to have a good chance at the moment

Hardman waterville going ahead this sat. They were hit with the curve ball of having to reduce numbers to meet the 200 cap. Hard situation to dealth but seems to have addressed and race is going ahead. While there was no doubt some disappointed people but at least Alan made his best efforts to have a race.
Limited numbers left for the bantry half and hardman full.

Estonia updated yesterday to say they still plan to hold race however may cap numbers and looking to restrict people travelling from countries where virus not under control.

Good to hear Waterville is going ahead. Fingers crossed for the rest of the series. Celtic Warrior still going ahead as well.

Estonia as in the race Ironman were trying to force people into when they cancelled the race they'd actually entered?

Yep and then they cancelled Vitoria two week later. Pity I didn't do the race before Ironman took it over.
Ironman have tonight sent everyone entered for Vitoria a cancellation email where they appear to have charged them €580 for cancelling...

Surely anyone entered into Vitoria will be offered and automatic entry into same event in 2021?

Have to say Alan did a great job with the hand he was dealt for hardman waterville.
No frills or bells and whistles but great event.
Ran off super smooth. Was talking to a TI offical after and he seemed happy how it was ran.
It's a proper 70.3 course and nowhere to hide on that bike course. Would be better if I could actually decent but great day out.
Rolling start for swim meant you could get into without a punch up and spread it out nicely.

Bertje14 · 26-07-2020 11:11pm

Great to read about Waterville. Hopefully he gets a better hand dealt in Bantry.

For me it Celtic Warrior this weekend.

peter kern · 27-07-2020 9:51am

while it is fair to say that overall the return to tri will be tricky as numbers in many countries in europe are rising.

great to see the first irish race happening , and hopefully once analysed proper it will show to be save.
we saw what i believe the first nat champs since corona outbreak this weekend in austria with all the top austrians plus blummefeld and ideen and some upcoming talent form germany

i think it was smartly organiced with 10 sec gaps between each swimmer and timing chips adjusted to the gaps. over 2 days i think the had 650 people racing i think over 4 races.

few swim run races as well in poland switzerland.spread over the weekend which is something that looks like to really catch on in europe. and is just easeir to organice without the roads managment constrains.

Delighted to hear this went well. Alan’s being running these sorts of no frills just get on with it races for 10 years now and hopefully some of those forced into entering due to a lack of other races will come back next year.

Looking forward to my trip to Kerry next month

Bertje14 · 27-07-2020 10:28am

Hardman races have been on my bucket list of a while. If all goes well 2022 or 2023.
