Daniel hatte die Tage mal eine e-mail über die Veranstalter-Website gesendet, einfach auch um seine/unsere Bedenken bzgl. der vollen Strecken mitzuteilen.

Heute kam die Antwort, ich hoffe, daß ist OK, wenn ich das einfach mal so hier reinsetze:

Dear Daniel

you should not be worried for the swim or the bike course.

We decided to accept more participants this year as we will not open any waiting list. Last year we had a waiting list and we had about 500 cancelations; we expect the same for 2013.
The swim is a one start... this is the beauty of this sport...last year we had no problem at the swim start...remember the Ironman is a long day and participants know that they don't win or lose the race in being smart at the start of the swim.

I am happy to tell you that last year we had less accident on the bike course, and the police reported that the road is much safer with more athletes.

Drafting is a issue but we will have more judges on the road and we will be harder against people who might cheat.

We are looking forward to see you racing on Lanzarote


Best Regards
