Thanks for transferring my money to another race or date and not just canceling without a refund. I do appreciate it.
For me it has been easy to deal with.
BUT
for other I have talked to they would like to change races or not do a race or get some money back.
Why don't you try some of these ideas.
Offer %50 of your money back. Therefore some people can move on and someone else can buy into races closer to home.
As well. Take everyone slot and do a total re allocation process. Shuffle the deck.
e.g. you get a credit for a half or full. then starting Dec 1 you can select to stay in your event you are all ready registered for.
Dec 8 th open slots for other venues open up maybe one popular race each day and you can try to get into a race that now has openings is more local or better dates for the 2021 year.
e.g. A lot of athletes I train missed out on Canada 2020 so they were going to volunteer and get a 2021 slot. They did sign up for 2020 fall US Ironman races.
But hey would rather switch to Canada and I imagine a few US athletes would like to move to US races. The athlete would have to gamble they can get in or else pick another race location once full.
Even include $250 transfer fee, people would pay it to avoid lifestyle and logistical changes.
If you don't like these ideas throw out some of your own. I am ok with what has happened but I think we could do a better reshuffle then what has taken place.
Technique will always last longer then energy production. Improve biomechanics, improve performance.
