Still considering it\trying to convince myself the water won’t be too cold!

But also looking at the Geordieman duathlon the week before and Sundowner the week after.

Afraid unless they drop a xxxt load of lava in the lake to warm in up it will still be fresh :cold_face:

I think it’s full or closed but as I’ve got Belgrade the week after I’m not going to risk getting injured on the run as I know I’ll try and batter the descent :roll_eyes:

Thinking of going over though if the weather is good, do the bike and head up to Red Tarn and down.

Starts with a fairly decent climb up to the A66, I’d forgotten how big that one was thinking it was all about Kirkstone Pass at the end.

yeah it catches u out if the winds blowing too

That first climb is a leg snapper if you’re still cold, as soon as you turn off the lakeside road it must be about 1k heading over 10%?

And continues on.
