Have you ever wanted to do an overseas event?

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to understand how many triathletes would like to do an overseas event and the reasons why. I'd be really grateful if you could spend less than a couple of minutes quickly answering just a few questions

the questions are:

(1) How would you describe yourself within your main sport?
Beginner
Amatuer
Serious amatuer

(2) Would you one day like to take part in an event outside the UK
(a) Yes
(b) No
(c) Not sure

(3) Do you have a specific race / event in mind
(a) Yes, one specific event
(b) I've a few I'd like to do
(c) No, not a specific event

(4) If you were to plan taking part in an overseas event, how do you think you would arrange it?
(a) I'd probably arrange it all myself
(b) I'd most likely go with my club or group
(c) I'd probably obtain entry from a third party but organise travel and accommodation myself
(d) I'd most likely choose an all inclusive package from a sports events company

I really hope you can help and appreciate your time.

Many thanks
James
