Bala is a nearly half IM event and is very good. First weekend in June I think. There's a thread on it here Harry.

Bala would be ok, especially if you treat it like a training session.

weymouth middle disatnce was on 4th june this year, thats a good race for a first one/ warm up for the full distance, nice sea swim, undulating but not too hilly bike think it was about 53 miles not 56. and a flat run, also about a mile short at 12 i think. £60 entry. concept sport i think.

Yeah exams officially finish 8th June, which probably means I can do these events as my exams usually finish way before the end date, but as nothing is published yet I will have to wait a while to decide
