    Wensleydale Tri

    Anyone doing this a week on Sunday?
    A nice 1800m swim around Semer Water followed by a 42 mile bike over some 'nice passes' including a 1 in 4 straight from the swim and about 4 other long climbs.
    Then the great fell bit, although Pennine Way. A jog (and it just might be for me at this stage!) up and down Great Shunner Fell.

    Pendle Tri at Barnoldswick makes a return this year, quite good for a 1st time one - they used to have an enforced 10 min break between disciplines. Had some good tussles in this a few years ago.

    Going to get around to the online entry via UKResults shortly - hoping for good placing if running & cycling continue in the same vain as they are doing
