    Banning was reintroduced in Denmark in 1906 Kurt so no fears on that score

    What a day. No phone so posting from the better half's phone , so if bth or gibbo see this no point texting me this evening.

    Delighted with the race. Wheels almost came off, had to spend 10 minutes or more in the portaloo on lap 4 but got it done. Will write up a longer report when I get back Tuesday but suffice to say thrilled with my first IM experience.

    Congrats to gibbo and rob as well, hopefully both are happy

    To add to the weekend full-distance round-up, Griffin100 completed the Hardman in 13:54, on what looked like an absolute dog of a day.

    Ah jaysus Kurt you cant be including me in a thread full of 10hr IM finishers. But yes it was a dog of a day, I think I'll resurrect my log Catweazle style to give a one off update ;)

    A 40-44 slot at IM Copenhagen went to some dude with a 11:45 finish today - he was the only guy left there after there were no takers for the second 18-24 slot and they re-allocated it to 40-44. Wish they had allocated it to the 45-49 age group.

    That's a serious shame I wonder how that was decided. Hard luck on missing out

    50-54 in IMMT rolled down to something crazy to 23rd spot (by right should have been moved to a bigger age group with faster times).
    no such luck in my AG although I was too far off to even realistically accept a roll down if it came way, did not stop that guy doing a huge song and dance when his name was called.

    what i read was there was one slot unused in 18-24 and it rolled down to 40-44 group

    bizzare in one way at the same time i guess if you are borderline for hawaii waiting for the last weekend of the year for a slot is not a bad choice as not all people have flexibility to accept a slot that short before october , and most serious athlete try to qualify early.

    unless he raced under a different name i don't think peter was there so i presume it was someone he knows that was racing.

    I just assumed. Interested to know still how they decide where to allocate the place to.

    from Russell Cox's analysis of CPH:

    For the most part the top twenty finishers in each age group are close to the course averages. There are two notable exceptions: M30-34 and M35-39. In both these age groups the top finishers, those likely to claim Kona slots, were significantly faster than average. In fact, times are close or better than the best on the course. Clearly a strong field in both those divisions at this year’s race.

    (not that i was ever going to be anywhere close anyway :) )

    when slots are not picked up they usually go to the biggest age group ( quantity not quality principle )
    97 out of 100 times thats 40-44.

    Would a weighted age rating similar to at the Parkruns for quality not make more sense?

    Its the *world championships*
    The best should be there.
    Not age weighted.
    No roll downs
    No lottery

    The best are there. In the pro race. It's just varying shades of mediocrity and consumerism after that.
