I am worried (5 on a scale of 1-10 at this moment) about traveling to Spain in Nov as an American citizen. I am worried about crossing the Canadian border to fly to Malaga. I’m also concerned about getting back into the US as we will have to drive through the border crossing between Canada and the US (will they search our phones in November 2025 and see our criticism of #47?). I have raced in Europe and both sides of Canada and never once in the past had these worries. I can’t believe how dystopian everything feels now.
I am very curious to see where worlds 70.3 2026 will take place. I am planning on retiring from IM/70.3 racing after Marbella at age 55. But if worlds 70.3 2026 is in an amazing place, I could be tempted to try and qualify. But then again, what is currently happening is making me want to stay put and no longer travel until 2028 (if we have a kinder and more compassionate administration).
