Up till now 146 individual triathetes and 14 relays have intended to take part in our long distance competition of 2009. However, in order to transform this intention into a final decision, the entry fee has to be paid as well, which was actioned by only 40% of those who had already filled out the entry form. It is also important to remark that after this particular payment deadline the system will automatically delete all those competitors from the entry list who have not paid the entry fee, thus they have to re-enter the race once again according to the requirements of the second entry period.
