Any idea of the cost of entry?

VT.....only over seas one I have done was IMCH and it was my first..........it was a lovely course.really beautiful and the lake was so clear......lovely for a fiorst attempt........

I was suprised that they allow smoking in restuarants though

Ay up gang got some info that might interest a few folks working out there A race next year. Was at a UK triathlon race yesterday and talking to one of there staff. They havn't finalized everything yet and ask us not to shut my mouth off on some of the details about what they are planning but there is a very good chance they might be announcing a race next week central uk wise. From what they said might be a good shout and if they do go with what they are talking about at the moment will be a cheapish race.

Got the e-mail for the person I was talking to and they have asked me to e-mail them once the race is properly out there as they might be able to do block booking discounts and very keen to have some of us rabble racing. Think the mischief of the likes of me, SA and co have been engrained into there nightmares.  The race should be finalized by next Monday or soon after. I'll stick a thread up once it is unless someone beats me to it.

Blisters, re the swim. This year the current was good, and apart from one section, I dodn't notice much difference between up and downstream. I did do a river swim the other side of Henley (Shiplake) in the summer, and the current was much stronger :  it just took forever to get to the turnaround point, then you were back to the finish in no time.

there are several river swims and shorter distance tri's held over the summer locally, so there will be somewhere where you can try it out if you want to.

I don't think the full distance sold out this year - or if it did it was a last minute thing - so don't worry about entering the race as soon as it opens.

just had an email to say that early bird entry is £310 (but i don' know what full/later entry fees will be) entries open on Nov 3rd and they are limiting the race to 600 for the full and 600 for the half

hth

Early bird offer for Henley 2013 £310

I think £310 early bird entry Blisters..until 3 November?

ooops - i meant *before* Nov 3rd it's £310 

Look at the three of us all desperate to impart the information simultaneously! Such helpful souls.

well I'd be more helpful if i actually read my email properly the first time

I might be considering challenge barcelona - shuffleB may be part of a exercise study that include 6 months coached training leadig towards this.....  She's in the next round of tests for it so looking hopeful.
I don't sherpa so may as well enter as well.....

Cake, would that be central as in the Nottingham area?

I'm not surprised to hear that any tri -organising committee would want to drum up support for their event from the single most influential group of financial supporters to their cause.

Is it in Macc, mate? Have they offered The Assassins 50 gazillion quid to buy out their successful "DIY Half" franchise?

I'll take it

Sellout

It's not macc but near there I can't remember the name of the place but my care worker sarah said it was nearish there. What they said sounded very positive and done there sprint races and trentham a few times so think they could do a good one. Only worry I have is there medals are normally a bit sh*t if anyone cares about that sort of thing.  But was told they are pushing the boat out and designing new ones.

Yeah, but with 50 gazillion quid I don't care

Cake i notice on the UK Tri site that the Trentham Tri is missing for 2013 so they must be doing this new event instead of Trentham.

From what they said I think thats part of what they where working out. They have never really liked trentham with the distance between the swim and the bike. Just messaged you matie.
