Hi Marco
I hope that you will not get "to close" into any official cooperation with the Challenge Series. Your Elbaman is just as good as it is, you do not need a big partner such as Challenge or Ilonman (Chinese version!). Keep the Elbaman independent, please. In 2018 the Hamburg school holidays will enable my second participation in your long competition and I am still aiming for the 5-times finisher award!

Hi Harm
thank you for your reply and opinion, as always I did athlete's opinion are for me the number 1 (with big gap on n.2) things to consider.
Need to clarify a little bit about this "agreement".
Challenge-Venice is running under "Challenge belt", but mostly run from an indipendent group of people leaded from a person that I trust really experienced and able to build a good product. He contacted me first in order to share some visibility and trying to attract as much athletes (Italian first) in our both races and keeping them a little from going only to other (M-branded) races.
It's a 100% venture of our 2 individuals: me and head organizer in Venice without any other implication of Challenge Family.
Telling the truth I do not know how things are managed within event organizer and central Challenge firm, but truly I do not care too much.
From my side the most importat point of this agreement is to have some visibility towards Venice athletes due to the fact that they are attracting a very good % of foreigners and not only from Eu. Unfortunately my marketing budget is really limited and, even with a good record of 11 edition under the belt, the race is not really known in deep into the triathlon community.
One simple question to you now: can you explain me a little in brief how school holiday works in Germany ? I can not understand why in 2018 will be ok and not in another year
Look forward to have you in Elba in 2018 (or earlier !)
Marco
