Just curious. Anyone else received an email like this due to them participating in an Ironman race last year? I also received an email for a 70.3 world championship slot in Italy, but the last time I did a 70.3 was a decade ago. For the message below, I actually did a race in Chatt last year, 8th in my AG. There were 5 slots available last year in my AG. Only asking because earlier this year I got an email saying that I qualified for the USAT oly/sprint Championship, but the last time that I did an oly/sprint was a decade ago, which I thought was because they were short on athletes vs me being fast at anything.

"Congratulations!
