I feel like I've got to know (vaguely) quite a few of the regular contributors to the forums. I wanted to know when everybody's season really gets started, when your first race is and where.....so come on, lets here it!

Anyone doing either of them??

First race every year, waking up from hibernation.
After that I need to sort out some Olympic distance events.

It can't come soon enough.
First race was yestrurday (sunday 8 th) Hardest 5race I have done and only 7 miles. It was cross country and my god it was up and down all the way. Massive hills and loads of cold water and mud.
I'm doing Oulton Park! I did the Autumn version last year and the track is lovely. Very smooth and no potholes unlike a road race.
The only problem I saw was a couple of the quicker guys taking the tightest line in the corners got punctures from motor racing debris on the track.
My first tri is the Cheshire Tri in Nantwich at the end of May.
Thanks for the heads up!
I've just entered. Looks like just what I need as a season opener: Reasonably "short" 4k ish run, 25k ish bike, 4k ish run. And on a nice closed circuit, which is great!
I've scratched everything else from the diary, excepting a 10K Road race at the end of March, hoping I will be injury free by then.. then three weeks to get injury free again before this!
Really looking forward to it now it.
First multisport is Marlow Duathlon on 22nd March - Need to start some bricks!!
1st Tri of the Season 25th April - RAF Wattisham (nr Ipswich) pool based sprint at my sisters Base
I really need to find a good warm up race in May that doesn't clash with everything else!!
I.
First ever tri is the Humber Sprint on April 5th, then I have an the off-road Ampleforth Sprint on April 11th! Both pool swims, first o/w is Rother Valley in June.
My first Tri wil be Mansfield on April 5th. Was in the Clumber Duathlon on Saturday but dropped out after the 5k with a stomach bug that kept me in bed for the rest of the weekend. First ever DNF. [:(]
Hopefully get a local duathlon in on the 21st though.
22/3 Marlow Duathlon
5/4 National Duathlon
First Tri is:
13/4 Thames Turbo Race 1 (Sprint)
Non-Tri I had a 1/2 Marathon on Sunday...
My first tri will be Winchester on 19th April - 400m pool swim, 20mile bike and 6 mile run. I've then entered my first Olympic distance on 21st June in Liverpool and am now bricking it about the 1500m swim (though quite excited at the same time).
Looking for another OD to do at the end of the season.
Same here, exactly.
For anyone on the South coast-ish area I'd recommend them. www.conceptsport.co.uk and no, I'm not in any way connected to them.
After that I have an undecided season of OD events, also hope to do my 1st half IM towards the end of this year.
I'll second that. I did 3 of the Fast Twitch tri's last year, Winchester being my first. Everyone was extremely helpful and calmed my pre first tri nerves.
