Half Iron Man with a flat (ish) bike course?

Hello,



I'm looking to do a Half Ironman this year (preferably after the London Olympic), the ones I've looked as so far have hilly bike courses. Does anyone know of a middle distance event in the UK with a fairly flat (road bike worthy) course?



Cheers,

Kelly

    The Big Half at Trentham Gardens? There are some hills, but they're not too horrendous. Good luck!

    Kelly, follow this link & it'll take you to the Beacon Leisure website. The Half is in Sept, goes around the New Forest & is not too hilly (in comparison to say Wimbleball). It filled up quite early last year.

    Thanks for the suggestion Rob, I'm all signed up for Trentham now and still plan on doing London Olympic the following week.



    Slightly ambitious I think but I'll give it a go.



    Cheers,

    Kelly
