It ran last year, looks like quite a nice friendly event, in October.

Was wondering about having a go at it.
It is in Settle which is in a nice part of North Yorkshire on the road up to the Lakes?

Although Settle is lovely, perhaps they want volunteers to watch bikes?
Will that be the first race for the knee?
There is a relay option - if you can find a couple of runners!
First race is the Ilkley Tri on 13 September. I am allowed to run again on 12th August. I'm not sure what I most worried about.. the swim.. or the run...
Fortunately it is a nice short sprint (3 mile run, 500m) sprint. I won't be as prepared as I would like to be - so I'm just treating it as a benchmark/experience gathering exercise. Of course, I'm hoping the knee (and everything else) holds up. I might have been overdoing it the last few days...
I've got the Leeds Abbey Dash 10K in November.
And I'm just window shopping for something in October. Thinking of the Oulton Park Duathlon (I need to see if I can get a free entry to that, as I DNS the spring one - although I've probably left it too late).
It's the same date as the Oulton Park - but I would have to get up really early for that.
The weather is bound to be great in October in the Dales, right?
I'll go for it, as I need an October event - I'm determined I will not be injured......
What could possibly go wrong with the weather in the Dales in October?? It's going to be lovely, even if the sunshine is liquid.....
