I have seen a few comments about people considering this so thought it might be a good idea to start a thread so we can get an idea about numbers.
Also if anyone is interested in training camps nearer the time then although would not be living in luxury we could accommodate about a dozen people and only a few miles from the bike course could be an ideal location and avoid the cost of hotels. Just an idea if anyone is interested.
so who else is up for it?

Is it on? I thought its licence was running out?
Okay then I'm in!
If it's on, it's either that or Outlaw for me.
Im in! I have checked with the Ironman team to confirm it is definitely in Tenby next year and they told me that it was. I live locally to the course so if anyone wants to train on parts of the course any time just let me know.
just typed in' Ironman wales 2014' into google and the scope charity advise they are taking entry fees for next year at £50 but you need to raise £1,000. they have the date as 14th September...don't know if this is right!
I've got my eye on doing it if it is indeed on. Would certainly be interested in the chance to try out the bike course with others too
interested as an A race for 2014, ....
+1
hearing that IM Wales may not be on is worrying, also is there some similar discussion over Outlaw ( or at least the date)?
Outlaw is on, I think date confirmed for 27/07/2014
thought they had announced both the date for IMW and IMUK the other day and yes Outlaw is confirmed as well
If its on I'm in for sure, if its not I may do IMUK.
in for Outlaw on that date even though it clashes with the excellent lakeland 50!
hoping to do ironman Wales also
sorry ff , misread yours above, will check IMW date
I've decided on Ironman Wales. That sea swim looks like fun. And my family fancies a weekend in Tenby
Tenby is great.........I really really hope that i won't be doing it next year.......
Funny I don't see IM Wales on the official site with a date for 2014 yet. When did IM UK and IMW sell out this year?
Imuk was November and imw was around march IIRC.
Thanks FF, no need to worry for a while then.
IMW was June 5th this year........so no panic needed..probably
I'm not so sure, Iron distance tri's seem to be selling out quicker each year as they become more popular
IMUK sold out in just 2 days this month ( apart from scope places and a last chance 50 spaces to be released next week i think ) .. Which has to mean IMW will sell faster than than it did last year and this .
Watch the Outlaw sell out by lunch tomorrow.
we do seem to love to pay them upfront ..
When are entry applications open?
I regularly stay in Pembs and have a hotel ready! It's just the body that might be underprepared.
I've swum in Tenby bay a couple of times, turn up 6pm on Modays for a gang. On both occasions the sea was pancake flat. I cycled the run route. That wasn't pancake flat. September's good for me though.
outlaw tomorrow, IMW will be a bit later on
How quickly does Outlaw sell out? Hours, days or weeks?
hi guys, I keep hearing different rumours about ironman wales, some say it is definitely on others say it is not due to no budget left??? Does anyone know if it is definitely on?
it will be on.......
