Hi All,
My first triathlon of the year, err actually ever, is the Dorchester Tri. I was wondering if anyone
else on here has done this Tri before and can give some insight to what the course is like?
I booked it thinking it was a sprint, but now Ive read the details looks like a 400M swim, with
a 16 mile bike ride and 4 mile run - a little more distance than a sprint, particularly the ride!
For the rest of the year I will be doing:
Blenheim - 3rd June
AXLR8 Wellington - 24th June
Bournemouth pier to pier swim at sea 22nd July
Michelob Ultra Olympic distance (My main target for charity) 5th August
South Coast Triathlon, 2nd Sept
Grim 8, Aldershot, Early December

The bike ride: http://beta.mapmyrun.com/run/united-kingdom/dorchester/280336333
Looks like there are a couple of nasty hills in this (turn on elevation) with the total change
being around 150-200ft over the course

Not too much in the way of elevation changes.
One thing I would like to know is are any of the roads clsoed off for the event? Could
be interesting with all the triathletes going down that A road if it's not.

I did a sprint race organised by Concept Sport last year in Wimborne and the roads were not closed - don't know what they do in Dorchester though.

I was wondering when the pier to pier swim was. I'll have a crack at this year I think. Any website for it?
