Ironman Lake Placid just announced they will continue with the race in July but athletes must show proof of vaccination to race. As you can imagine, people's heads exploded. There are a ton of infuriated people. The Facebook group got ugly real fast. A lot of other US Ironman's have been gone off without any real strict rules like LP.
Now I have to decide if I can get Ironman ready in 65 days.. I've been half assing training assuming the race would be canceled again. Time to ramp up mileage and see what happens.
Ironman Mont Tremblant still looks questionable. I don't think the borders will be open to public in August but maybe they will also go the vaccinated athlete rule as well. Then again, a lot of Canadians said they haven't had access to pools/gyms because of their restrictions. Sounds like many wouldn't be able to race strictly due to not being able to fully train.
