I just wanted to know if you can do a full/half IM as a relay?

I would never get the training time to do either on my own (I may get a divorce if I did make the time!) but I could train for the bike section by commuting I think!

I am looking to do London 2 Brighton next year and thought that I could use that as a base.

So I need to know can it be done!?!!

Thanks

not in the ironman.com races but some of the non-branded ironman distance races allow relays. Challenge Roth is possibly the biggest but I'm sure there are others out there. Some half ironman's have relays by invitation only so you'll need to contact the organisers to get an invite.

You can do Bala Middle as a relay - I'm sure there were Pirate teams with amusing names...

If you need a swimmer I'm always up for an open water dip.

EP - are you doing the L2B bike ride or run?? I assume the bike...

if so, don't worry about too much training for it as you'll be going at snail's pace - unless you are very quick and get off as soon as the 1st riders go you can more or less kiss goodbye to having a good ride. people will walk the hillier bits and clog the roads so you have very little chance of riding up them and then there will just be a general slow procession on the roads as they are still open to traffic until you get to Brighton. with 35000 rides doing it, it's a nightmare - have done it 3 times in the distant past but never again as there are just too many riders

if it's the run - do some training!

I think you can do The Forestman as a relay - check the results from this year on www.racenewforest.co.uk I'm sure there was a relay team.
