did the half 2 years ago. Wasn't the clearest of swims but not cold like bala and quite pleasant.
Bike is pretty rolling so a reasonably fast course and the run is round the lake.
Nice race!
I did the half in 2005, the swim was in the most disgusting smelly cesspit of a lake I have ever had the misfortune to swim in, it was rank. I cut the bottom of my foot, to the bone, trudging through the silt before the start, did the race with blood everywhere, and then spent an afternoon in the local hospital, injection horse pills etc, still had an infection that resulted in a week off work. Apart from that it was ok.
Its a good race done the half twice , the lake is its only shortcoming , Vic the race org is a top bloke and I like his events , believe slummo will do this as its is most local half.
oh blimey
are rubber booties allowed? I have a 3 euro pair bought on holiday that could be discarded en route...

ROFL! That just put me off.
Hmmm I was up for this as it's very local to me but the swim doesn't sound appealing
The website does say however "the shallow lake swim has been vastly improved" so maybe it won't be too bad?? Only question I guess is Ollie or Half?
