Just wondering if there is a nominated newbie event for 2007.
From discussions on here it would seem that there is a lot of activity around Stratford which is fine, but is this the one ?
Chirk is also popular with the northern lot, but it would be nice to have an "official" one where we could meet up ?

chirk is the first tri of the season ( i think ) so it would be a good idea for that one maybe ?
plus its a sprint which is a bonus too

Nope but I am told it is a really friendly well run race.
The bike is a bit undulating but hey ho, first race of the season you don't really have any expectations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1.15 would be a great time wigan.. bear in mind last years winning time was 59 mins 12secs, so must be a decent course my time target is get home in time for tea at 6pm LOL ok stupid question time now.... undulating  ?? translate into idiot terms please |

up n down mate.......probably nothing too steep but a few long drags maybe ??
1.15 maybe wildly optimistic, but I am working on
8min swim
40min bike
22min run
plus transitions etc.......
want to push myself so I train hard......

Newbie - as in new to TT? or new to tri's... As a vetran of some 2 sprint events I would probably qualify for either definition!  ;D Anyone got a link to the event website??? If it's not too far away I'd like to do it & meet some of you face to face. |

You should be fine with that Wiganer mate. My first (any so far only) Sprint was Wombourne Pool Sprint and bike there was classed as "sporting" I managed... No.95 PAUL ROTHE M-Open - 01:16:39[TA] Swim: 00:07:26(37) Bike(inc T1): 00:40:20(88) Run (inc T2): 00:29:33(137) Completely bu**ered up the run due to bad lower back pain. I'm sure by the sounds of your training you'll be more than capable of beating 1:15. I'll be back at Wombourne on 22nd April as my firat race of 2007 (2nd ever) to see how my winter trianing has gone. If anyone is there then gimme a quick nudge!  I'm always up for a Bacon Buttie and a cuppa after a race |
