IMTALK EPISODE 519

News: Results from IM France, Challenge Venice and ITU Duathlon World Champs; IM Cairns is coming up.

This Weeks Discussion: IM seems to be offering different options to the carboloading party at some of their races. An example of this is IM Cairns this weekend, where they are giving meal vouchers for local restaurants instead of having a carboloading party. Do you think this is a good idea? What do you think are the good and bad sides of doing this? Comment here
