lawman 501 Posted September 7 Report Share Posted September 7 (edited) A few grand, but I'm turning it into a money making venture. 😁 With changes in the $AU v Euro I actually got back $790 for a $715 entry paid. Took a bit of a punt on my airfare and went for a voucher rather than a refund and Air Qatar have given me a voucher to use before May 2022 at cost+20%! Being well ripped by van hire company in the NT though, on a van we hired as crew vehicle for a race in the centre. Might now plan a holiday and some fat ass running in the NT rather than lose a shit load. Quote Edited September 7 by lawman Link to post Share on other sites
IronmanFoz 1,633 Posted September 7 Author Report Share Posted September 7 So for about 8 of us thus far we are in the red/credit of about $17000 Imagine if we took into account all of the Australian tri community. Lots of people were potentially travel to various ironmans and most of would plan/book ahead. PS: iFoz is probably travelling by private jet 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Flanman 2,419 Posted September 7 Report Share Posted September 7 Only $500 for races - all accommodation has been refunded (loss of $130). However, we have $35K+ outstanding for holidays covering the next 18 months. 2020/21 was supposed to be our big holiday travel time. Ce sera sera FM FM 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at the current green orange red maps for France, they are now through most of the worst areas they traverse until Paris. A far bit of orange around the Alps, but no red until Paris.

I guess we are lucky we did not put the honeymoon plans into action. We were thinking of a trip to Europe, was a combo of alone time, as well as Challenge Walchensee and a day or two in Roth to watch one of our friends do one of the bucket list triathlons! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Horowitz 92 Posted September 7 Report Share Posted September 7 16 hours ago, chris said: yes to the green zones for sure, the pyrneese and the alpes would be fine so sparsly populated. I know someone who works in the Swiss alps in a village at a few thousand metres elevation and there were even cases there (a lot actually proportionally to the population). The issue is these places are made up of old stubborn people who often refuse to isolate or wear masks because they have been living in this village their whole life and no-one knows anything better than them. I think they sent the Swiss army in to this specific village for a few weeks earlier in the year as people were just not isolating Link to post Share on other sites
k3vski 160 Posted September 8 Report Share Posted September 8 (edited) $600 of Virgin credits that expired last month, booked through Webjet. Went back and forth between Virgin and Webjet to have it extended but to no avail. Webjet claimed they sent me an email with an expiry date but somehow I cannot locate it (how do you prove that you did not receive something?) Another $800 of Malaysia Airlines credits due to expire in January, I'll make sure I get in contact before the expiry date this time. And a deferred entry to Ironman WA next year. Everything else, I was able to cancel for free. Edited September 8 by k3vski Link to post Share on other sites
Peter 4,046 Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 Ive got 2x 70.3 race entries whatever they are worth tied up. I rolled the Western Sydney entry. Still to decide what to do with the Ironman Melbourne entry. Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 669 Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 I’ve got two entries in 70.3 races tied up at present. Melbourne 70.3 entry is the only one that has a big question mark around it it could have been a worse situation because this time last year I was near committing to Challenge Roth, some Cousins swim tour races and Tallnen 70.3 as part of an 8 week euro trip. That trip was shelved for 12 months so we could take advantage of another travel opportunity, which went well. Handy bit of luck for us. Link to post Share on other sites
Ironnerd 809 Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 UTA and IMWA for me. I will take the credits and use them when racing returns in 2021. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
