I know this question has been asked before .....
If I'm happy with my progress in my first Oly in June , I will be looking for a middle distance race in September.
Any suggestions for 1 that doesn't fill up quickly like the Vitruvian ?
Thanks

"OneLastTri – New Forest Middle Distance
Due to problems with weed in the river we were supposed to be swimming in, they had to change the swim to a nearby lake. This meant a spilt transition and all competitors were put in a coach to the first transition. This also meant we had to hang around from 05:30 until we started at 07:30. My feet were blue and I don’t think they warmed up until the run. The swim was also shortened by 600m due to the air temperature being too cold."

In all seriousness it's a very well organised event, brilliant support at the finish line and pub (The Fox?) and decent swag in the goodie bag. The swim is a nice 2 lap affair - though make sure you've done some overdistance work in your training, the swim was a bit over 1900m (everyone said so, not just me drowning). The bike is a nice rolling 2-lap affair (the first longer than the second) and has some sections where you can get a good speed up if there's no wind. The run is one lap. One long uphill lap. One long uphill brutal lap. On sand. Ankle deep sand. Ok, well only a little bit is in ankle deep sand, but it's a tough run, which I guess makes up for a reasonably nice bike course. Will definitely do it again, and have promised myself that when I do I won't walk as much of the run as I did before
Split transitions are much better than normal ones.
I've just visited this forum. Happy to get acquainted with you. Thanks.
