Taunton Deane Tri - May 17th

Anyone else fancy Taunton Deane this year?  The super-sprint was my first race ever, and it's a well-organised little race; the sprint this year fits my calendar so I'm going along.  It's a pool swim, rolling bike course and a hill on the run lap; there's a sprint and a super-sprint which is half the distance (for newbies and Your Mum - this was my best relative placing, because I am actually faster than Your Mum).

Also: Tiverton Tri in the lovely Exe Valley the week before.  I'm marshalling.  Another pool swim, a flatter bike leg up and down the valley, then a run with a fair climb at first and a downhill finish.

Damn, I shall be doing the Invicta 400 that weekend. Or the Brian Chapman if I'm feeling brave or stupid.

If you know of any others newbie-friendly let me know...

Incidentally, I'm not faster than Your Mum. Not yet anyway.
