Didn't do it, but as far as I've read, the race wasn't without adventures. The bike course turned out to be different from the one mapped in the website, and it had multiple narrow sections where passing was prohibited. Also, it was invaded by at least one cow.

I did consider the 5150 for 2022 or 2023, and will consider it for 2024 again, because the venue's proximity to Berlin makes it very accessible to European residents such as myself (including by train).

There might also be a risk to signing up for races in eastern Germany? 70.3 Dresden was cancelled in 2022 just 4 days ahead of the intended race date, with 2500 signed up. There's not going to be a race in 2023 at all.

Thanks for the update. I think I'll pass on this for 2023. That would not be fun to have good expectations and the event to not occur as planned, especially if I'm coming from the US.

Not a coach. Not a FOP Tri/swimmer/biker/runner. Barely a MOP AGer.
But I'm learning and making progress.
