When and where and how far is your first tri this year?

London triathlon for me on 1st August ( sub 2:30 this time ) but using as a training session for Half Ironman UK three weeks later.

Would also like to do some more before, just to build confidence and get my moneys worth out of my wetsuit!

Hilly

The second one I've got planned WW is on a hilly bike course with an off road run, which I enjoyed last year. Hope to work out how to find my bike this time without running up and down racks of bikes looking like a pleb!

A couple of you doing the Thames turbo, must be a popular one to do.

Don't think I fancy swimming in the Thames, which is why I've not entertained doing the London tri.

Couple of duathlons in May, then our own club's Olympic race, the only pool swim all season I think. All my others are lake or river swims. Lot of conflicting dates this year - so some of the ones we usually like to do will have to be missed.
Got 3 or 4 Triathlon League races to do,2 sprint, 1 Olympic, 1 Half-IM. Plus IM on 4 July, a couple of other Olympic races, and possibly the European long course championships in late summer (4km/130km/30km). Busy season!

Hilly

Quite a busy season then IW!

Hilly, for the past 10 or 11 seasons we've raced about 12 events every year. What makes this year special is the 3 long distance races.

Do you have to qualify to do the European championships?

I think so for the main groups - but for the vet age groups, anyone can enter.
