I appreciate that the "business must go on"... but at $800 per race. I want aid station at every 20 km on the bike, every 2 km on the run.. and a pre / post race celebration.
We could all do solo self supported contact free race in our backyard, for fee.
note: There is no way i could travel to a country with 20,000 new case per day without having to go thru some kind of quarantine on the way back.... even if the race is "contact fee". I'm sign up for IMAZ, and i will not go if any form of social distancing is still recommended.
In 2019, i did 5 branded races, I was hoping to do 3 or 4 races in 2020 with plans for 2021. Obviously all those plans are on hold and I'm looking forward to a summer of MTB and gravel rides. Final implementation of IM cancellation policy will make a difference is rekindle the interest for the sport. I'm assuming there are a lot of people with similar state of mind. Many companies in the entertainment industry are currently gambling with the future of their brand (if not their sport). In some cases, they are trading long term clients for short term survival. No one know what is the best approach, but most cases will require rebuilding momentum... let's hope IM take the right decisions.
