Hathersage hilly tri

Anyone?
The bile section is really sweet - along the river, up a bit of a hill (20 mins at 5% gradient) then sweeping decent to T2. Swim in a heated outdoor pool then a tough little fell run of about 4 miles. Should be fun.

Did you try the run section? I did my best with the directions on the website, but couldn't find the path down off the top of the moor. Pretty hilly little course - I certainly can't run the whole of it straight off the bile, although at least the first mile or so is flat.
My first adult tri. My last was 19 years ago, so I'm a born-again virgin.
Speeding on the bike is hard to prove. anyhow 30PMH most elite guys would be screwed!
2) The event is on Sunday!!!! can I overtake the ineviatable Sunday driver who is doing 20mph down the nice downhill section without being DQ'd???
1) Absolutely - anything goes
2) If it's safe, and not against traffic rules (ie no solid white line). However if there is any risk to yourself or others then don't do it.
Obviously I do mean the down hill section for the overtake!!
Having a go at the run section now I have looked at the directions in more detail. Did the bike section on Saturday and felt really good going up Froggatt hill until someone came past on their bike wished me a good morning whilst not sounding out of breath and peddled away like it was flat. I wonder if he is doing the HH tri?
Dont forget though that on the downhill bit whilst you'll be going fast, then braking distances take longer too, and if you're tired so will your reactions. In real terms then haring down the hill will stress you and get the HR up / keep it up. You may not 'lose' much if any time by relaxing, and if you get stuck behind a car going at 25mph, then treat it as a breather. Seriously, this is your first race, enjoy it don't try to push too hard.

I thought it was this weekend. I'm only reffing anyway, but was sure it clashed. Oops.
In that case I may come along and take some piccies. Will have to see what the boss says as we were supposed to be having a long weekend, but then I can't ge thte Friday off, and she can't take the Monday so we're back to the drawing board.

Well done all.
How did you do.
The swim was pretty chaotic - I didn't manage a single unbroken length without a bang into someone and occasionally I came across a complete obstruction. That's my only grumble - all in all a great event - smashing bike + run courses, shame there wasn't the Tshirt mentioned and only one toilet cubicle, but I guess that's all in the spirit of small local events.
