anyone in the south of england?

Hi,
I am based near Swindon, where abouts are you?
I am only just beginning triaining for my first triathlon, what sort of level are you at?

i am in surrey so that may be a bit far? i have raced one season (sprints and olympic distance) hows your training going?

a

Not too bad feeling very hopeful about putting in a decent show in May!! Do you do local events or all over the UK? Is there any you could suggest as good for beginners?

H :-)

i do events in the south, the first race i ever did was last june and it was a novice event that goes b4 the main field and that was at ardinly in sussex arranged by www.urbanrace.co.uk, it was very good it is 250m swim/15mile bike (bike is the same as a standard sprint/1.5 mile run

its def. worth it i'd say, also the people who arrange iron bridge and south coast triathlon run a few novice tri's too that are supposed to be good, unless you are feeling confident in whoch case just do a sprint as most sprints in the UK are only 400m/15mile/5K

Me me me!!

I am in South London/Surrey. If you are looking for a tri/running club to train with check out SLH. I only started training in March this year and so far have done 3xsprint and 2xolympic distances. I was lucky to bump into another club member when i had only been trianing for a short time. As a result of joining SLH (and training a lot) I have knocked a load of time of all disciplines!!

The April one. Although I may end up doing the September one to see how I have progressed.

I'm near Reading in Berkshire. I'm doing my first tri this year as well - the Human Race sprint at Eton in May.

Do you know Sevenoaks at all? I did a 5k race last year though the park very nice with wild deer running all over the place. They have a good Tri club at Sevenoaks.

Thanks for the input, just done a negative spilt to sevenoaks and back which is 30k on the dot.

I'm in Surrey, too, and it's my first season. Doing Timex WomenOnly Novice and London Tri Super Sprints
