Eastbourne ‘Tribourne’ full IM - Ended 2025. Just a half now, on closed roads! see July 12th above.
MidnightMan IM - Dartford - Ended 2024. John Setford is still daft enough to put shorter Olympic & Sprint etc events on tho. https://www.bridgetriathlon.co.uk/
SnowMan Half (Always Aim High)
Yeah, no ta ![]()
Even included a link to make it extra easy for you ![]()
Nice prep for you to go sub 10 at Calella-Barcelona
At least it’s not clashing with Outlaw. That’s good.
That’s not the “prep” needed for a white bloke over 50 to do that.
The “prep” needed for that is simple;
“Altitude” camps in a country with relaxed attitudes to “aging clinics”
Copious amounts of “beetroot” extract
Learn how to draft.
1.5hr swim
4.5hr bike
4hr mara
The British grammar police would like a word.
‘Portmanteau’
Looks like this is confirmed, 3-5 September 2027.
“No entry fees”, but relying on crowd funding. Hoping for >20 athletes donating £1000 to cover event costs. Refunds April 2027 if haven’t hit numbers.
I find UM an interesting format I’d like to tackle one day, but it needs bigger numbers and support to be viable.
IM Wales to stay in Tenby until 2031.
great news , i know it won,t happen but if they moved it to July/August ,migh come out of retirement ![]()
I couldn’t believe it. Espesh as I’d already deferred 2025 Outlaw and couldn’t do so again.
In fact the new IML date is perfect, there was nowt else on that w/end. whoohoo.
