This should get you round in well under the hour (as long as you wear a streamlined helmet)
Entered today online via UK Results site - everything seemed to go through OK - is this the future of race entries? How cost effective is this for race organisers Vince?
Sod it! 20 miles on the bike today - not sure I could run 4 miles now though....
I've entered....
Depends which site you go for. It certainly attracts the "sod it!" entries, spur of the moment and the drunken bet ones, who live to regret it!! Reduces post as numbers are picked up on the day (I know how many are out there) and all info can be sent via email, so as long as this trusty computer works (stroking the screen). I do accept postal entries still though, and on the day
3rd October for postal, and I think John put it at about 11pm the night before the race for on line entry. (I am in the pub in Helwith the night before! )

What's section 'F' all about???????????????
It is all about being equal. Although many would entertain someone stripping in transition to change into cycling gear, for the sake of decency, it is not allowed. Also, not to discriminate against the fairer sex, no running/cyclling topless (or bottomless!)
Sorry to discriminate against all you naturists out there.

wow, I'd 've been disqualified from the Wensleydale for dropping the top of my tri suit for running the last mile due to the heat. Not sure about that one........
