    Would there be much of a crossover between entrants for the HOTW, especially as Nat Champs and the Challenge race? Personally I wouldn't have thought so and imagine both will sell out.

    On NS status in first years the 2015 Carlow Tri was in its first year and got NS.

    Indeed it was and it was a very well put together event by Racing, i'd expect nothing less from that club !

    No sign of Joey Hannan there for either distance. It wouldn't be right for me to comment re Athy.

    Is IM Dublin 70.3 a TI sanctioned event ? If so glad Lost Sheep got the Nat Champs and not them.

    Also a nice mix of races nationwide as well.

    .

    Joey Hannon wasn't NS last year either. given it's run by the smae club as HotW it's probably only fair to give them one race rather than two

    Smaller club run event that is better priced and has a proven track record as a race.

    They decided not to run "beast" for specific reasons i won't go into here. Anyone who knows them will know the reason and it wasn't IM.

    Just an observation on the topic of smaller club-run well-priced events with good track records being overlooked in favour of unproven commercial ventures on that club's doorstep.

    You're sounding like tunney now with your riddles. ;)

    Which race is the reason Beast of the East didn't go ahead this year? It's back next year I thought?

    Not at all, I'm just curious how a breakaway group was recognised by TI and handed not just a sanctioned race but a NS race on the doorstep of WTC?

    I'm not gonna say bad form as I don't know the ins & outs, but quite curious how this development came about. As it's one of the few east coast events next year it will be popular I'm sure, and a cracking location.

    No it wasn't IM and it isn't anything sinister. Either stirring or misinformed.

    Agreed it wasn't IM at all and neither was it sinister. Not stirring or misinformed as i worked at the event in 2014 and was given the reason for no 2015 by the 2014 race director.

    Just not a topic to be discusses here, pop me a PM and i'll tell you what i was told !
