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

I've entered the Bala Middle distance, 10th June, hoping to crack 4h30...just missed it in 2010 after a chain problems on the bike leg. The run's first half is all uphill but then is downhill the whole way back, managed just over 84min for the run last time. The finish of the swim is a bit tricky, having to swim/crawl army style because of stones/rocks. But for 80/90 quid entry it sure is well worth it.

Want to do a full IM/long distance, but have decided to not do IM Zurich as initially planned as it costs way too much...so looking for 'long distance' unbranded replacement races instead.

awesome stuff.
I'm away during triathlon season this year in Kenya. Will return in time to do the London standard.
And then a late season triathlon. And a Marathon.
It means I won't reach my goal this year, but a fitter better me should manage it soon.
I may try and find a middle I can do late season.
