Budapest and Athlone - Who Else?

So far we have

Budapest:
Taco (Oly), Jonathan (Jnr), Dave (Sprnt), Trish (Olympic), Karl (sprint).

Athlone:
Liam (Olympic), Simon (sprint), Karl (Sprint), Trish (Sprint)

PS Taco - "Két fedhetnek kérem" - I'll look forward to hearing you say that in Budapest. Especially when you return to the bar to order pints 3 and 4, and 5 and 6 and so on.

Entering Budapest

Following on from Dave's post below, I spoke with TI over the weekend.

It seems that the Olympic race is attracting a lot of early interest from the 25-39 age groups, so much so that a top 10 finsh at age group level was not enough during the last (National Series) round.

However, the good news is that for every champs to daye, about two out of every five offers made end up not being taken, and these places can then be filled in the last round in June. Also, if you are intent on going to Budapest and have applied but not got a place, you can give yourself a little extra insurance by applying for both Sprint and Olympic (cost of €20.00 extra fee). Note: this option is not needed if you are older than 39 or younger than 25.

Two Beers Please

Két fedhetnek kérem

Me too

Just got the nod for the Sprint Event in Budapest. Very surprised because I'm a long way down in the National Series. Just goes to show if you are not in you can't win. So how do you order a beer in hungarian??? Hopefully I'm not the only one to get good news today.

I'M IN

Got offers for both Athlone and Budapest.  Confirmation letters in todays post.  Off to Portugal for some HEAT training next week.

Buda Buda Buda

Jonathan has qualified for Budapest. I have not so far. TI are processing the sprint applications this weekend. Everyone should get an email from TI giving people the option of entering the sprint by emailing TI by Friday. If you do respond to the email then they will leave you in the draw for the standard distance. Apparently there is a lot of interest in taking part.

I spoke to TI today and I was told that places would not be awarded through qualifying events next year. This runs contrary to what I took from our meeting last week and I think this is incorrect but maybe Karl could add his ten cents.....?

me too

Got the offer of a place for Athlone sprint, but holding out still for the big one, Budapest Olympic. Think Simon is in the same boat. Anyone else got offers?
