Tri / Triathlon / Triathlons - do they float your boat?

Is anyone doing the 'steelman' triathlon on 3rd July? It is based at Dorney Lake near Windsor. And has anyone done a triathlon at Dorney Lake before? I'd like to know what the bike and run sections are like. I have a feeling that I will struggle to keep track of the laps - 8 laps cycle and 4 laps run. Anyone got any tips for this?

Oh, and I haven't ridden my geared bike for nearly 2 months - I hope I pemember that I can use gears and can freewheel if needed !!!

Cheers, Rich.

They have about two triathlons a week at dorney lake.. everyone has done one there.

The bike section is completely flat and smooth tarmac you will fly along.
Run is also completely flat on a well travelled path
Boredom is your biggest hurdle with Dorney
