clyde79 Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 This sounds good. Is a 2km swim roughly equivalent in terms of time and effort to a 16km canoe?
Seeker911 Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 I was aiming to do Midlands on the day BUT this is close to home. Soooo need to give this some thought.
davem Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Why dilute two great events by having on the same weekend? Is the market really that big?
Face Plant Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 we are still in the process of working on some sponsors which will effect the entry costs, once this has been finalized we will release the entry costs but rest assured that as usual Spectrum sport will try to give the athlete as much value as possible. without going into too much detail, the fact that our date coincides with that of the Complimed Midlands Ultra is rather disappointing for all parties involved but both parties were forced into this position due to dates that where allocated to other events after they had been booked by ourselves and B-active sports forcing us to change our dates, we have discussed this matter between ourselves and we really hope that both races will not be negatively affected by this.
Red Zone Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 same weekend as the midlands ultra Booo that sucks, probably going to stick to midlands, maybe rockman next year when it is tried and tested
Grantc Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 would do both if they were on different dates, but as Midmar is closer - i guess that's the one I am going to be doing
nolipoli Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Sounds like fun, and closer than Midlands Ultra. ROCKMAN X-TRIATHLON 1
