Dear Anton,
When we opened registration for the
2014 KMD IRONMAN Copenhagen we expected this amazing race to sell out within days. It sold out in six hours.
Over the past weeks and months we received countless requests to add more capacity to the race. Today we want to share great news with you. After multiple meetings with our
amazingly helpful partners at the City of 2014 Copenhagen we are excited that we will be able to invite additional athletes to be part of the KMD IRONMAN Copenhagen 2014 mainly due to changes to T2 – and you,
our most loyal athletes, are the first to know.
Why? Because we want to reward you with a special offer: „Bring a friend“. From
Monday, January 27th (9am CET) to Tuesday, January 28th (9am CET) we will exclusively open registration for people you refer to us. It’s like getting your best friend or buddy into a trendy club in town.
They can register by clicking
this link and entering your name into the „referrer“ form field. You can refer as many friends as you would like but please note that all remaining entries will strictly be allocated on a „first come, first serve“ basis. Of course we will not share our referrers with anyone outside IRONMAN.
What do you need to do? Tell your friends, share the link with them and ask them to mention you as the athlete who referred them. Please note that only athletes who are already signed up for the 2014 KMD IRONMAN Copenhagen can be referrers. No „Bring a Friend“ registrations are possible before Monday, January 27th (9 am CET) or after Tuesday, January 28th (9 am CET)
Your KMD IRONMAN Copenhagen Team
Короче говоря, с 9:00 Пн 27.01 до 9:00 Вт 28.01 все зарегистрированные участники могут дополнительно "рекомендовать" своих друзей, т.е. предоставлять возможность последним по ссылке пройти регистрацию на гонку. Количество дополнительных слотов ограничено, поэтому действует принцип "кто первый встал - того и тапки", т.е. кого первого внесли в списки из "рекомендуемых", у того и приоритетная возможность получить заветный слот.
Почему-то захотелось перефразировать известную песню Ю. Лозы:
"Но мой слот,
свитый из денег и снов,
Всем моим бедам назло
Вовсе не так уж плох." :)))
Ладно... это лирика... Учитывая поднимающийся последнее время ажиотаж на подобные старты, думаю найдутся люди, которым эта информация будет интересна.
