Kilkee 2015

mossym

Just a reminder for all, batch of entries opens up on Sunday evening at 6pm.

Not the NC, nor the 30th anniversary this year, so numbers probably down on last year but would still expect this one to get a big entry level.

BTH

Entered.

mossym

BTH

400 entries in under 30min. :eek:

Should get in on one of the other stages. Looks like 800 overall though, down from 1200 last year

mossym

65 notes trig

Absolutely love this race but am disappointed with a couple of things

1. the price :65 was ok for the 30th anniversary but to continue with that is disappointing. The rucksack we got last year personally was of no use to me as too big to bring to the swimming pool or gym as a gym bag. The jacket the year before was great. A t shirt will do me.

2. Gripe no 2:Trying to sell out the race in January when everyone is skint


Will still sign up though under protest

there is only a couple of races i'd consider worth the higher entry fees, kilkee and lost sheep. one of the local races to me charged almost 50 euros last year for a small local sprint. Ridiculous. even though i'd planned on doing it that was too much, and I'm not going to support races that try to do that.

shansey

How much is lost sheep usually??

mossym

think it was 80 last year. not bad for a HIM though

shansey

thats great.. i half expected around €120

mossym

sorry, i lied, went back and checked, it was 96

ShineyShiney

I think 50e is about right, theres not a lot of return for a club or organiser in running a race a much less than that unless there are some unusual circumstances.

Smaller races also have to plan for breakeven with their pricing as entry numbers are an unknown.

miller82

It did. just after 9

I got in

damo80

Didn't open till roughly 9.07 finally got in myaelf. Wait list open now. Worth putting name down as everyone on this normally gets a place due to high withdrawals

BTH

Deadline for entry transfers is 31 May. Anyone looking to move an entry on? I know a few people on the look out for entries.

Cheers

There was an offer of a spot on twitter tonight. Think it might even have been galway tri club that posted it

That also went on FB and was taken there. I've three lads sorted anyway. Might need one more but not sure yet.

PWEI

I never thought I'd have difficulty getting rid of a HOTW slot but apparently there is nobody left on the waiting list.
Will sell my entry for €40 if anybody is still looking for an entry.
