In france IM racing is ridiculously expensive compared to local club races. There are many Half ironman very well organised in sub 130$ pricing. Also i'm tired of all the useless mess WTC is giving me, useless bag, useless medal ... what am i supposed to do with this garbage. Anyway i felt so wrong after paying 500$ for my world championship slot that i sweared it's the last year i feed this company. Thankfully there are better options.

I did a 6 day mtb race with a very fine organisation that was cheaper than a single ironman (Transmaurienne Vanoise) oO.
