Now we are getting near the end of another year what events have people signed up/planning on signing up for in 2013? Not just Tri but any cycling, running, swimming or all 3
Hmm, not signed up for owt but couple of club sprint tris plus maybe Stratford Sprint in May, Cambridge Oly, Saffers' club tri which was great, Brighton Marina and possibly sumat half distance around July that I can enter at reasonably short notice.
April - Half Marathon May - 2 x Sprints + Half IM Jun - Derry Marathon July - IMCH Aug - Half Ireman Sept - Nothing as yet and maybe soley dedicated for training for Dublin Marathon Oct - Dublin Marathon
If I manage to stay well and un-injured, my diary will fit in a couple more half marathons plus a standard tri and a few shorter road races.
I have done Cardiff half for the last 4 years, this years course was the best yet IMO, but knowing Cardiff they will change it again for next year. The dual carrige way section has gone and it started at Cardiff castle and finished at City hall. I enjoyed this years course.
Damn Seren your on to me, will have to change my June plan and do Enduroman instead of Bala.
March Farnham Tri Ironman training weekend weekend - Swim Friday, ride saturday, run sunday. April - Evans Ride It in Working 60 mile bike May - Pirate DIY half July - Dartford Mid Nightman (half)
Still have a few more things to add to the plan, but thats almost it for my first year doing Tri
Daft doing 2 IMs in the space of 7/8 days but had already entered for Zurich for 2013 when I crashed out of IMUK this year. All the family where there and told me I had to do it next year
feb - london ultra april - lincoln 10k and a midland sprint tri may - prob the pirate DIY and a midland sprint june - enduro double iron and southdowns way 100 mile run july - Outlaw and thunder run aug - the grimreaper and the vitruvian
ill do a few more ultras and whatever i have the time/strength/money to do inbetween
I was only going to do 3 - well spaced out, but the disaster at IMUK this year in front of the whole family changed that. I've done 3 before, dead slow, but you're right it was tough going.
April/May - Coast 2 Coast cycle May - DIY Half, Wilmslow Sprint June - Velo Berlin sportive, Outlaw Half July - Outlaw August - London - Paris bike ride
Some other bits and pieces, sportives, general rides, maybe the odd half / full mara.

Pontypool Home Run 10k - February
Blaenavon Triathlon (Oly) - May
Grafman (Half IM) - June
Ironman UK - August
Survival of the Fittest (Cardiff) - October
And probably a few more here and there. Depending on how August goes, might do another marathon later in the year.
My intention (although I haven't actually entered yet) is to start the year with the Benfleet 15 in January.
An idea has just popped into my head, maybe do one event a month through the year?

Plus I may try and do the odd sportive if possible, that is the plan anyway
broke.those are soo similar to my plans.are you stalking me
but i'm doing a different June race
Was the Cardiff half better this year? I ran it last year and it was BORING, 5 miles along dual carriageway, so I didn't bother this year.
I'm not doing the cardiff half..........I'm stoping after September
I hated the cardiff half when i did it years ago and i haven't read anything in the years since that have made me want to go back and redo it
So far, I have planned in:
April - Half Marathon
May - 2 x Sprints + Half IM
Jun - Derry Marathon
July - IMCH
Aug - Half Ireman
Sept - Nothing as yet and maybe soley dedicated for training for Dublin Marathon
Oct - Dublin Marathon
