Ironman Frankfurt | A Race Guide To The IM European Championship

[@gtn]

What do you think of the IM Frankfurt course? Let us know!

[@PivotFirearms]

Global Triathlon Network Seems like a great course for newbies to the Ironman distance. I expect to see some great times for the pros. Wonder if the heat might slow anyone down this year though?

[@gtn]

@@PivotFirearms Think heat is going to play a massive part this year - kudos to everyone who's competing Sunday!

[@SAWY81]

Global Triathlon Network I did the Frankfurt City Olympic distance last year. Same route. Very fast bike course.

[@jascollinscork]

In my non triathlete-Ironman opinion, I would associated All Ironman races with a swim always in the open waves sea.....? Would many be in lakes or rivers? Great looking event non the less!!!!

With 39C forecast for Sunday, I wish they postpone the race till Monday (ideally Tuesday). Car races are being postponed due to rain, people are more important than cars.

[@chrisjboyce]

It’s so hot here in Frankfurt I barely survived the race briefing..... Sunday is going to be a tough day, good luck to all athletes

[@DeanGrove]

I'll be helping out again this year. Athletes, please keep hydrated it's hot as hell over here :(

[@timowen5741]

Saw you lads today, was trying to get a selfie but you both looked so busy and then you whizzed off. Still nice to you here.

[@timowen5741]

The best review of the course I’ve seen so far... great job guys.

[@IchbinTim]

They cycle past my flat :)

[@gtn]

Awesome!

As far as I know, it's not that the WTC didn't renew the license for the Roth organiser. Quite the opposite: the Roth boss decided his race wasn't getting the recognition it deserved and told WTC to stick it. Now Roth indeed seems to get the recognition; you could question if Frankfurt indeed is the number one full distance event in Europe. Yes, Frankfurt has the Frodeno-Lange-Kienle trio, but 2 out of the 3 top male Kona 2018 finishers are racing Roth this year. The women are also pretty much equally split.

Great summary - brings back lots of great (but painful) memories 😎

[@jakobmeibeyer]

Great Video! 🔥🤙🏼 But for us the germans it's always so funny how you spell the german words in English 😂

[@doosterwaal]

Awesome video!

[@karstenmeinders4844]

As a local, I can confirm you covered the course very well and pronounced the German proper names correctly as well. Actually the Frankfurt IM triggered to me to start triathlon. After my 1st tri competion in 2018 and my 70.3 in 2019 I will participate in the IM Frankfurt in 2020! (I am still in doubt if I should look forward to it or be afraid of it though.....)

[@gtn]

Thanks and good luck for 2020!

[@ralfhenning-venske6764]

very good introduction! Thanks.

[@DrRKelly]

Great race preview video guys! Love it.

[@DorZ1983]

Guys this is cool! Will you do the same at IM Austria??? I hope you do & I hope to catch you guys for a selfie!!! 💪🏼💪🏼

[@gtn]

Sorry, not this year, we'll be in Roth next weekend!

[@MegaOculus]

Maybe I will start there next year

[@ironmantooltime]

Reckon I might sign up, looks nice n easy 🤘😁😎

[@gtn]

Do it! (Can't promise it'll be easy 👀)

[@seulebrg]

2021 - I will be there

[@jamesbailey5008]

Love the content but volume jumps around

[@jerks6215]

Go Skye!

[@realalbertan]

Roth was known as Ironman Europe not Ironman Germany in the first years

[@CalebChapman12]

Sound is wonky

[@DaanHoogland]

"a bike course that was 5 km. long", 180 k being point zero, @fraser :D

[@gabbechico8471]

u did not mantion the weather...33-38 celsius will play a role on the splits

[@AddictofFilm]

Why wasn’t the pro lineup covered?!?

[@markthrelfall3577]

AddictofFilm wait for today’s video... 😉

[@aaronup]

Mark's legs are looking jacked! no homo

[@mathieunorry]

Has Heather left GTN she's hardly featured in videos anymore

[@markthrelfall3577]

Mathieu Norry she’s been on holiday 👍

[@dominicjames1710]

Did it last year 188 km bike.for the amount you pay to race ,You would think they could get the distance correct. Official bike is 180 !!! Sad they can t get it accurate after all the money people pay!

[@chrisprotzman6637]

Germans- We take Race Seriously... Guess you could call them the master race.
