Hi All,
so not been on for ages was hiding due to an achilles injury that took me out of London Marathon 3 weeks before and the rest of the Season been lickng my wounds all year
So thought i'd treat myself to my first Iron Distance event in 2012 and i don't know which one to do.
I don't want to do any earlier than August as i want to have the Best of the summer to get the miles in and use winter to build base aerobic capacity up.
So i narrowed it down to 3
Cologne 226 2nd September
Looks nice don't know much more about it
Challenge Henley rumoured 16/09/2012 - stood on evey Lap of it this year cheering my mate on great event but not sure i want to risk shitty english weather that time of year
or Challenge Barcelona 30th September.
I am strangely drawn to this one a)because the weather in september is a nice 22 degrees b) could beautiful scenery - Spanish Ladies
I ruled vichy Out due to the 43 degrees heat last year
Any views and experience of these races would be good. i want to get it on the calender so i can start planning my lack of life coming up.
Oh and just about to order a New P2 with Zipp 808's for the occasion.
Heeelp!
