IM Copenhagen

Anyone know if this one is a quick seller?
Was hoping to go next year but it's looking like I won't know by the end of the month if I'll be able to do it or not.

This year's race opened to the public on Monday evening and was sold out on Thursday evening. So I would think you need to have the minded up and ready to press the button early.

+1 on selling quick.

They sold over third of places on the day following race in 2014, to repeat sign ups.

BTH

Copenhagen didn't re-open this year either.

So far this year only Austria sold out very quick, Frankfurt was still open a week after opening. This maybe due to the recent unpredictable conditions there the last few years, hot, cold, hot ,hot. People may be getting geed off over it.
Either that or market is becoming a bit saturated with all the recent new IM and Challenge races.
Sweden is usually super quick in selling out, so next weekend when it opens will give you a good idea how Copenhagen may be. .

Sweden as far as I know didn't sell out for about 10 days and was still open when Copenhagen opened. Not sure if Copenhagen was sold out before Sweden. But Copenhagen was sold out on Thursday. May well be different this yr.

just back from my local tri shop, they're hearing of a lot heading for CPH next year, seems to be a very popular choice for 2016 and they're guessing it will sell out quick, (both guys there are doing IM Nice next year so no ulterior motives for saying so)

BTH

Just sign up anyway RQ, surely you have a budget set aside for wasted race entries as this stage anyway.

Yes it is more expensive, nothing crazy in the grand scheme of things, plus it gives you more flexibility time wise

I'd say Sweden would be pretty awesome. Ship my tri bike go there so another decent option for the Irish!

CPH obviously popular with the Irish

Where have you booked into??

We'll be looking for an apartment most likely as five of us travelling. I know gibbo booked late last year through airbnb.

Looks like the sub 10 for Abhainn will be a big ask, needs to run around a 3:10 off the bike.
