Thank you to all my sponsor, fans and well everyone out there willing me on to get to @ironmantri Kona 2018 we did it??? #trainhardraceeasy #nevergiveup #rolldown #ironman #wearestrongertogether? @ jamesmitchell5. A shared publication of Tim (@trithedon) the 22 Aug, 2018 at 6: 40 PDT. The wait was on now to see how many slots there was in the AG for Kona. We went to the award ceremony and the Kona allocation the next morning and with 4 places up for grabs I picked up a place to race at Ironman World Championships in Kaulia, Kona in 2018. There’s a small gap in my Kona qualification data – a selection of Ironman 70.3 races that carry Kona slots for their fastest age groupers. Over 100 qualification slots are available this way and are not included in any of my analyses.

The event is the Nordic region's largest fashion event and takes place two times a year, in February and August. More than 1,600 exhibitors, 2,800 branded collections, 50,000 industry professionals with more than 40 runway shows is part of the official schedule.

COPENHAGEN CARNIVAL

The Copenhagen Carnival is an annual event taking place in Fælledparken and on the streets of Copenhagen during the Whitsun Holiday. Over the years it has developed into the largest Danish festival for World music with 120 bands, 2000 dancers and more than 100,000 spectators participating.

The main venue for the carnival is Fælledparken with many stages dedicated to various music genres. The festival's main focus is world music with traditional samba and steelpan music, but also features electronic music.

The first carnival in Copenhagen was arranged in 1982 by the 'Carnival in May' association and attracted 500 dancers and 60,000 spectators.

The main Copenhagen Carnival Parade moves from Kongens Nytorv to The City Hall Square along Strøget, then the day after, the parade is repeated in Fælledparken.

For children and young people there is a special programme, with various workshops, performances and a separate parade.

COPENHAGEN JAZZ FESTIVAL

Copenhagen Jazz Festival is an annual Jazz event, taking place each July. The festival was established as a festival in 1979, but already in 1964 Tivoli Gardens presented a series of concerts under the name Copenhagen Jazz Festival with Thelonius Monk, Miles Davis among others.

Today Copenhagen Jazz Festival numbers more than 100 venues, 1,100 concerts and about 260,000 guest - making it one of the largest music events in Europe, attracting a broad international audience.

Sonny Rollins, Oscar Peterson, Ray Charles, Keith Jarrett, Wayne Shorter, Dizzy Gillespie, John Scofield, Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Svend Asmussen Quartet, Cassandra Wilson, Bobby McFerrin and Chick Corea are among the musicians who have performed at the festival over the years.

In terms of genres and audiences, jazz music expanded in the 70's and 1978 lawyer and project manager Poul Bjørnholt started Copenhagen Jazz Festival, when he realized how local jazz clubs, public spaces, theaters and large venues could contribute to this event.

SUKURA FESTIVAL

The Committee of the Copenhagen Sakura Festival was established in February, 2008 to arrange the cultural event Copenhagen Sakura Festival with the help of the Japanese Embassy in Denmark, the Municipality of Copenhagen and other Japan-related cultural and private organizations.

The idea for the annual Sakura Festival came from a noble donation of 200 cherry blossom (Sakura) trees, all planted in Langelinie Park, by Seiichi Takaki, President of Andersen Institute of Bread & Life

Mr. Takaki was appointed to the honorable position of ambassador of H.C. Andersen on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of H.C. Andersen’s birthday in 2005.

In Japan people love and admire Sakura blossom and almost everybody go out to enjoy its beauty together with families, friends, lovers, office-mates and so forth wherever and whenever the Sakura bloom.

The mission is to invite everybody to try a Japanese Cherry Tree Festival, tea-ceremonys, a chance to try out calligraphy, fold origami or eat mochitsuki.

There are kimono-shows, ikebana, martial arts, Japanese dance and Japanese music.

DNF ends Don’s hopes of return to the IRONMAN World Champs in 2018

Lots of British Age-Group success… and a ‘World Record’ performance too in Denmark

(Photo credits – KMD IRONMAN Denmark Facebook page)

It was always going to be a monumental challenge – and that he was even in the mix to try and make it happen, is truly remarkable. After ninth place recently at IRONMAN Hamburg, Great Britain’s Tim Don was racing at IRONMAN Copenhagen on Sunday in a final attempt to secure the necessary qualification points to race in Kona in October. After what he has been through since his broken neck, it was always going to be a tough ask – but for much of the race, it did look quite possible.

With Jesper Svensson (SWE) at the front of the race out of the swim, with 60km of the bike complete he was leading the race by two minutes, but by 110km, last years IRONMAN Kalmar winner, Clemente Alonso-Mckernan (ESP) had caught him. The Spanish athlete would lead into T2, four minutes up on Denmark’s Kristian Høgenhaug, before Don, Boris Stein (GER), Giulio Molinari (ITA) and eventual winner, Cyril Viennot, arrived another minute and a half later.

Alonso-Mckernan was out of the race within the first 10km, and halfway through the run Don was just 1:10 back from Viennot, but soon after started to struggle and lose lots of time, before eventually having to stop around the 26km mark. Viennot continued on to win, just dipping under the eight hour mark.

Record breaker?

The women’s event in Copenhagen was Age-Group only (just as Saturday’s race a couple of hundred miles away in Kalmar was Age-Group only for men), and saw home athlete Christina Svejstrup win by almost 37 minutes. Her time? Nine hours EXACTLY.

That, to the best of my knowledge, is the fastest female Age-Group iron-distance performance ever. At the same race last year, Christina clocked 9:17:06, the third fastest time of the day overall, only beaten my the leading two Pro athletes, Michelle Vesterby and Corinne Abraham.
