Replying to everyone - thank you! Looks like lots of great races to check out, I will take a closer look.
some good stuff already mentioned
the deauvillle tri fesitival has some 7000 people racing
frenchman is my personal favorite and you have usually a oly disstance race one day a hallf the next day and then the full right now the price for the full is 275 euro which is likely the best value for and full in europe
ostseeman in germany is also pretty good
if ireland is in consideration you have the hardman around the ring of kerry very simple race like kona in the early 80s entry fee 240 euro and you get a pretty good hoodie
podersdorf also good be aware that in 2021 austrian tri federation did not accept licneses from other countries and you had to buy a one day license which was like 30 to 40 euro many pissed of people that day i would check with them first , as it is a total rip off.
to be honest i would stay away a little bit from challenge fulls pricey for little quality most of the time of course apart from roth.
iam not sure if elbaman in italy is still on but that would be another pretty good one havent done it myself but i heard many good things about it . just checked its still one which is great as a couple of years ago they had announced the last edition.
and i forgot ironcat between barcelona and valencia also has been running for many years and if you enter before december its 250 euro fast course and usually pretty good weather .
