2023 races

Re the race weekend. They open the full kitchen early on the Sunday, there is a really nice chap called Mr White (Robin I think) that runs the kitchen. Only downside with the place is you can’t get a coffee in the daytime there, you have to pop down to the restaurant below.

The lounge is very chilled, looks out over the road and out to sea. I’m excited just typing it.

I do love it there, shame I’m a shit triathlete :rofl:

Have entered the Ch’TriMan 113 in July :fr:

Absolutely no need to book up this early but I like to have something dangling in front of me over the winter. The half entry cost me €100, the full would be €210.

This will be part of our summer holidays initially planning to also visit Amsterdam :caribbean_netherlands: & Bruges :belgium: .

Allez, allez :frog:

Interesting…

I wonder if it will be based on the centurion course. That’s a tough old bike course!

Hopefully not. I did the centurion and agree, its not quick…

Hope to see you there @Adam although I won’t really see you there. My target is a finish. :slight_smile:

Right now that’s bloody high enough considering zero training for the past year and a seriously sprained ankle to start the year on.

W. T. A. F. is that blurb :face_vomiting::face_vomiting::nauseated_face:

Have they swallowed every Instagram #inspo hashtag or what?

It reads like it’s been compiled by a ‘bot :thinking:

I see that Outlaw-esque events Woburn and Bowood have been canned in 2023. :point_down:t5::arrow_lower_right:

Low numbers?

This is from the email;

Outlaw X has moved forwards to avoid the cooler air temperatures that we’ve experienced in late September, which has had a knock-on effect of bumping Outlaw Half Bowood out the calendar for 2023.
We’ve also decided not to run Outlaw Half Woburn next year.
We hope that Woburn and Bowood will be back, but for now, we will focus on making our established four events the best they’ve ever been.
