Credit Crunch DIY IM or half
Would be interested to here from anyone who has done there own IM or half IM as a few friends are considering it for next year. As much as we loved the organised events saving nearly £250 sounds good right now and getting three or four together and going for it sounds like a plan. Suggestions for swim locations welcome - Cotswold Water Park early morning is good as I've trained there but anywhere up North?.
Any thoughts welcome.

Ellerton Water Park near Scorton North Yorkshire is a popular place for swimming. A couple of laps of the surrounding area where it is flatish would be ok too - this is where the Cleveland Steelman is held. Mind you, it's £3.50 for the swim, a bit overpriced if you ask me![8|]
On a serious note I am surprised by the price of some small events, there was one near me recently that was a sprint tri and cost ~£45. Maybe I'm just being a miserable old g** bit this seems very expensive. DIY is the way to go.

One can buy a good wetsuit with that kind of money!![>:]
I realise the organisation of an IM costs money, but 280?
Looking at doing half distance next year, but due torediculous high entry fees,I've been looking at races that are not wearing the IM dot label: 50-60€ entry fee;thats about 45£.
Where goes the extra money??
Now what is that per mile travelled....
