    Horwich Triathlon

    Just wondering if any forumites out there are considering the Horwich triathlon on May 4th. A friend of mine who runs with Pudsey is doing it as the first prep for the 1/2 Ironman in June.

    Interestingly enough, the running part of the event is a run up to the top of Rivington Pike! Will any triathlete get a PB for this I wonder?

    I am there, but doing results. It wouldn't be the run that bothers me, it is the swim
    www.vlaevents.co.uk Fancy something different?

    I'm doing it.....did the run route last wednesday night......first mile straight up....slight levelling out then continue climbing up to the pike......good run down to the half way point then quite traily but then mile 5 starts to climb again and is a bit of a drag....finishes on an uphilly bit too....

    Bike route similar in that it also starts going straight up....some quite good climbs in it and some fast sections too ..........

    see you there!

    My friend tells me it's a 7am start - madness! And I always thought that a 9am race start is early.

    Best of luck for next weekend!

    Thanks Vince!!

    Really enjoyed this today...well apart from the horrendous rain and wind and thanks to ALL the marshalls that had to stand out in it....and an extra special thanks to the very sodden and windswept chap marshalling at the Pike.....poor bloke I hope he's thawed out...I gave him my best smile as I slogged passed though
