Blisters / Cake, completely agree about Buxton sprint, the cycle leg is fantastic. It was my first tri so holds fond memories and now has a fixed place on my race calender.
The DIY half in Macc souns great and by all accounts was well recieved last year and good numbers listed for this year. I believe there is a hread somewhere by Silent Assassin and his better half.
I'm entered in the Outlaw for 2013 so will be doing a half around the time it is recommended by the Don Fink plan, hopefully the Macc event will fit the bill.
It set a few people up brilliantly this year not just for the experience but the confidence it gave then as well. Just seen and realised where your biased on the outlaw thready. If you fancy some miles in next year I'd be well up for it as well.
CCC I don't know about that part of the world, but it does sound like a good idea.
For me, Buxton has just disappeared as an option. Sister who lives there is moving to the States. Other mates who live an hour away are having marital difficulties. It's all gone mammaries vertical.
Cotswold 113 on 16th June, verified. That's the first day of the fishing season and they will be hungry. Just as soon as someone has cleared the ice off the lake.
Just in case of use the Wild boar race near bosworth has just released there date for next year 1st sept. Did it this year and was inpressed with the set up. There web site is down for repare at the moment I'll stick the link up when it's back on line.

I'm planning to do my first half iron distance next year and was thinking of the Fambridge Yacht Haven one. It's got to be flat, it's in Essex!!!
