Originally was hoping to be doing IM Wales this year, but it's not going to happen. So my current plan looks something like this:
April 27th - First of the Summer Tri (sprint), Holmfirth
July 12th - Ullswater Tri, Pooley Bridge
August 9th - Wiggle Hell of Hexham Sportive
September 7th - Great North Run, if I can get a place. Unfinished business with this one after having to walk the last few miles due to injury last year. If I don't get a place I might go with the Helvellyn Triathlon instead.
September 28th - Last of the Summer Tri (sprint), Holmfirth
And then if it's on, the City of Durham Duathlon, which will be at some point earlier in the year. Probably going to look for a couple more events to do during the year too.
So far I only have one sprint and two olys scheduled here in Germany, and then Challenge Weymouth which I haven't let on to OH about yet 'cos I know he'll moan about me doing a half - seems to think because I'm now medically banned from IM I can't do 70.3 either. Out to prove him wrong.
Looking at the Cologne swim and run but this year it's on 11 May so the water could be really cold. OH usually does the 12km swim, I could but not inside the time limit.
16th Feb Beacon Bash - LDWA Challenge (21mile) - booked
9th March - Parbold Duathlon - booked
13 April - DIY HIM - (penciled in)
8th June - Bala Middle - (penciled in)
20th July - IMUK - booked
20th Sept - Brutal Full - (if I am still alive!)
Can't make the DIY as going away with the kids, so booked the slateman in May, was my first try (and only 2nd time in OW) last year so have a target to beat.
Comments
Haha, I wondered if I should put October in there but that's tempting fate. Therefore.... my season will end in Tenby in September.

Probably fit some Sportives in as well - Milton Keynes, Chiltern 100 etc depending on my shifts
An early season HIM
National 24 hr TT champs.
Thunder run - in a team of 8.
Looks like Embrunman is not happening now so starting to lean towards the Anglian at the beginning of August. Quite fancy a sea swim..
Just so you know, the Chiltern 100 will be under different organisation next year.
For some reason I thought it had changed this year. As long as they leave it as it is and dont increase the price I'll be happy.
Nah, it was just at a different location this year. Price will be up to the new owners, so I've no idea if it'll be increased.

Holy crap - look at that thing!
I live in Norfolk and that just scares me . . .
Correction: Tri swim is 26th January not the 18th
Also entered another Oly, Rothsee on 29 June.
