I heard it first elsewhere, (before it appeared on the other place) who was quite clued up on the ins & outs. Seems like its a goer. Just the bike for you on Saturday Pebble? Or you going in the wet stuff?
Oh.....................Is it possible for me to do an Ironman......... .then the lakelands again and then do this one...........september would make it a great shoice and the wether this weekend has been lovely
But I have no money
I take it it would be a sea swim in the waves.................
August already has IMUK and Outlaw, June/July has all the main European events (bar maybe Challenge Barca but the UK can't offer warm October weather), May will be too cold for IM distance - so that really only leaves September I guess, wind or not
agree about making it June/July but for their 1st year most who would want to sign up have probably already made their 2011 commitments already and signed for one of the Euro ones already if the usual mad rush is anything to go by. so that means a scarcity of entrants from the UK bar those who are happy to do both a June/July one AND a Sep one - and there's never a whole load of those due to costs and time.
so if they get it going in September 2011, and the event goes well and gets people interested for 2012, maybe they can revert to an earlier date
but long distance racing is getting ever more popular so it's inevitable now that there will be clashes with short summers

Ooh, would be great to see Pebble again, might get a bit of exercise in there too.
I am English though, is that an issue?<img />

Not sure if that is a smart move
Yep Slugs I'm goiing down on Friday and Saturday for a bit of wet and dry

nope - irrespective of the venue and whilst it is very tempting I am staying retired but will volunteer instead if it's a goer

This weekend there were 4 X 70.3 events on the same day!
Can't see why they can't clash with June / July as Frankie, CH, Austria all sell out.

2011 will be great - 2 m. Outlaw, a Challenge plus the other smaller events!
