New Forest Middle Distance Tri

ha ha, agreed. The whole point in doing Tri was that I was a panicky swimmer and didnt have a bike. I'd catch up a lot of places on that run course.

I guess that long bike rides around all the other kids sports I'm involved in is the biggest stumbling block. I can blag VLM and 1/2 IM off a 3hr maximum training window of time.

I'll see after Christmas, and decide wether to do VLM/Swashbuckler or VLM/FM.

TR, have you got a place in VLM secured?

yes

Good for you! I got the dreaded letter a few days ago so no VLM for me next year. I am thinking of doing one of the CTS races instead, to prepare better for the off-road section of the Forestman (which I have just entered  )

good man, that will motivate you to train over the winter. I'll hedge my bets for now and then decide upon Swashbuckler or Forestman. RNF run a marathon on the Forestman course in feb if you want to have a practice run !

Luckliy I get a GFA VLM place, so already knew I was in.
