Any suggestions regarding a good first Olympic Distance race, somewhere in the midlands/south. Planning to step up next season an thinking about mapping out the year building up to an OD.

Been thinking of signing up for some of the Castle Series events (http://www.castletriathlonseries.co.uk/en/, photos look amazing) but haven't decided yet..
I had wondered about doing the lot as 40th birthday special, but might have to do some persuading on the home front first. Maybe tie in the French leg with a couple of weeks south of the Loire.
There is also the Beever which is near Grantham, a bit further north.
Hope this helps
Dambuster looks a real possibility.
Dambuster 2013 is a qualifier for the 2013 World Champs held in London and also the 2014 European Champs so you can expect a lot of high quality athletes competing, especially for a London slot.
I assume as you are stepping up to OD you are a novice so Bosworth would be perhaps less intimidating to a novice but less razamataz than Dambuster.
Dambuster will fill very quickly when open due to Championship slots whereas Bosworth probably wont.
Good Luck in whatever race you choose.
Thanks for the advice, I'll post up any developments as they happen and try and remember a race review.
You'll love it.
Nearer the time arrange a meet up at the race.
