The Little Woody - A cheeky training run???

Hi all, I know there have been several threads in the not so distance past about the Big/Little Woody event but I thought I’d start another one..

I’m thinking of entering The Little Woody (LW) as a cheeky ½ IM training run before the New Forest Middle Distance is September. The primary reason being that there are no cut off times for the bike and run and a 1hr 20min cut off time of the swim. Therefore this makes the LW an ideal opportunity to work out important strategies like nutrition, pacing and LD transitions. I’m looking forward to making mistakes and using this event as learning exercise..

So now that I’ve convince everyone they can also gain lots of benefits from entering, who else would like to enter??

Other points to add.. it’s only £65 (non BTF) to enter, which includes:-
Race entry
Pasta Party night before
Free Camping, night before and after - Toilets and showers will be available.

Also available on the same day is the Aqua Bike event
Middle distance triathlon 1900swim/ 60 mile bike – if you don’t fancy the run after.. No cuts offs for this event at all

In my personal opinion this is a perfect ‘Try-a-Tri’ event only over slightly longer distances.

Great chance for a social meet too!!!!

Any thoughts people?
