So is anybody signed up for this.
I know a few did it last year, be good to get their thoughts on the event.
Still torn between this and IM Wales, but as IM Wales is now not Activity Wales but the same people who do IM UK, been looking at Challenge Henley.
Bike looks challenging
I know FB and Petal refed at it last year, wondering what they thought about it

don't give up on Wales just yet - it's not dead in the water yet with AW although it's not looking good sadly. but Wales will still go ahead and just because the organisers are changing doesn't change the challenge of the course which is the main thing you do these for.
it's hard to give a full view of CH from a ref's view as were limited in what we saw, but it wasn't as smoothly run as Wales but with the benefit of the 1st out of the way, it can only improve. most issues seemed to be logistics (split transition and transport between, post race bike recovery, minor course issues with lack of lighting, post race athlete refreshments etc) but I don't think that there was much wrong with it as a course. probably not as challenging as Wales, or IMUK, but tougher than Outlaw.
there were problems with the swim but that was due to fog at the start which caused delays but once it got going, it was fine
you need input from the likes of Joddly and Steve Ho who competed
cheers FB
just looking at total assent (I know thats not the be all and end all)
but its 5900ft at henley and 5741ft at Wales
seem to remember Jaffa doing it as well
Jaffa though did do it.....
Have a look at the race reports.......
think he was pretty keen to do this year, but have other fish to fry....
Hi there everyone. I have an entry to Henley for this year but unfortunately I'm not going to be a ble to do it because I have knackered my ankle. Their draconian policy of no refunds or postponing to next year means that I have an entry going and so am posting to find out whether anybody would be interested in it. I know this is all a bit last minute but I thought that it was always worth a punt
