IM VICHY is a world class event
Quote | Reply
I didn't finish the race yesterday as I quit after 10 km on the run :(
It was a non wetsuit swim and the run was under 95 of.
However I found this race to be outstanding for many reasons =
I love race when t1 and t 2 are together and within walking distance for accomodations which is the case
The city of Vichy which is a city known for thermal bath is quaint and very nice and all stores are welcoming the Im athletes
The swim is two loop in Allier river with rolling start which is an amazing thing since it provide stress free swim.
The bike has two loops in the country side and relatively flat
The run is 4 loops won both side on the river and is extremely spectator friendly.
On top of this the volonteers were awesome.
I highly recommend this race which you can combine with few days of vacation!
The city /accomodations are much cheaper than Nice.
Hope you will give it a try

I second everything you said! Sorry your race didn't turn out like you wanted! There were so many spectators out on the run course!
If you are still there you have to go to cédric iafrati cafe and have their maccaroons! They were divine!!

Agreed; I thought the whole event was very slick from registration to the end
Thought the volunteers were great; am humbled they do this - makes me feel very guilty of the lack I give back to the sport
Support on the run was great
IM charge a lot of money; but there is no doubt they put on a proper show....

Ps sorry your run ended short; I went through very similar demons. That heat was savage
