Subject: RE: Challenge series? I haven't looked at the Challenge Penticton website but I do know the swim, bike and run routes will be the same as Ironman was. They have no intention to change the routes. As for the rules, I haven't read them but I expect they'll essentially be very similar if not the same. If you're not likely to ever attempt a full distance event (I won't say never but I sure have to get a lot stronger to be able to consider it myself) you should travel to any close by IM event and volunteer for the fun of it. If you can get a spot in Transition or at the Finish line. It's a lot of fun. Also, Challenge will have relay teams so if you'll never do the full route you could organize a team and atleast be a part of the event. I'm considering the possibility that I might do the cycling portion in a team with a couple fellows I swim with. Edited by wenceslasz 2012-11-30 8:13 PM
