reteid Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I have to make a choice and would like some feedback from the oracle aka the hub.i have done a few 70.3 IM races including some overseas stuff.I have a choice between doing IM PE or 70.3 Spain.If you had a choice what would it be?
Shebeen Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 PE PE PE, no wait SPAIN SPAIN SPAIN! if you have lots of money and spare holiday leave - go to spain. if you're budget but can train more do PE. this sounds like an apples and pears question.
shaper Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Spain if you have the opportunity!!... PE you can do any time
Sidekick Racer Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I have quite a few mates who have raced overseas and while it is fantastic, they did mention that it was a bit bleak not having family or friends there racing with them and at the end there was hardly they knew. Not sure if anyone would be going with you or not. 1st prize, Spain with some mates!
CAAD4 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I don't swim or wear a speedo and soccer socks, but is this a trick question???

Showtime Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 What is the risk of having terrible weather in Spain? That is my problem with PE, you invest all that time in training and it could be a properly miserable day with gale force winds.
reteid Posted August 27, 2015 Author Posted August 27, 2015 I don't swim or wear a speedo and soccer socks, but is this a trick question??? I don't wear those silly soccer socks not even for recovery.(that's why there is beer).I don't do speedo either for the sake of my fellow triathletes's eyes.
reteid Posted August 27, 2015 Author Posted August 27, 2015 studied in PE and yes the weather is a fickle thing.but truth be told I don't realy care about the weather.I have been on the mtb in - 20 celcius in Canada but also in plus 40 in Australian outback.i always think to myself I have seen worse when racing or riding or swimming.
nochain Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 If you going for a good result or time then probably Spain. Don't know that course but the new PE route is considered on of the hardest around. I would go to Spain and then make PE my second one...and 3rd and 4th..

georges Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I went to the IM 70.3 in Cebu, Philiphines recently and the international atmosphere is awesome. First prize Spain with a mate and or family. Why not do both the IM 70.3 in Jan in EL and one in Spain. Good luck
