Hi
Just looking for some advice from you more experienced guys (and gals!).
I am thinking of doing a half ironman but can't decide which one between St Croix and Austria next year so I thought what the heck! do both!
Has anyone else done this? I have a few OD tri's under my belt but obviously I'm not an "elite" athlete but I am looking for the next challenge in combination with some chill out time.
Cheers
Neil

Be interested to see 'The Masters' generic response! As it would largely depend on your physical ability to recover from races.
I confidently predict that Bala will be colder than Hawaii - especially the water!
Do let us know how you get on with Bala, Conehead. Have you done it before? I'm considering it as my first ever middle distance race next year - it's quite near to me. I've heard that it's a tough one though, what with all those mountains, so part of me is thinking wussy and wanting to try an easier one first time out.
(Apologies to DP for hijacking your thread).
Conehead Ill see you at Bala!! Im really looking forward to it.... I rode the bike course a few months back in the pouring rain, never been so cold, so im hoping it wont be like that!
Well done for Hawaii
Vitruvian is also a good one, a little shorter than 'proper' Half IM but just as hard going as any.....and its a fast one too:) 4:31 again there... this year hoping for 4:15-4:20
Im doing Bala middle, Dambuster, FGS SPrint and Cleveland Steelman Middle on consectutive weekends, then our RAF Sprint Champs 4 days after Cleveland:)
It would be easy to plan 2 70.3's 28 days apart.....
