Racing and training is great (on a good day), but it's always more fun with others!

Nobody got any suggestions? I'll kick off with some nominations:
For open water swim I would like to nominate the the Brighton Pier swim - the first week of July.
For the Middle Distance - obviously haven't done it but I hear Holkham Half has had really good feedback.
Anywhere warm!!
Tri Bristol put on a good event and there seem to be a few people who hail from around the SW - me included. The race is on 11th June.
Its a v flat course and the ride is along the Port Way which they close to traffic - some early season PBs for the taking.

Going to put this out there because I did it this year and definitely doing it again next year...It has to be done in pairs.
Adventure/Quadrathlon - Artemis Quadrathlon, Loch Tay, Scotland in July. An incredible race swimming across (a bloody freezing) loch, hiking/trail running up and down 7 munros, kayaking 8 miles and 30 mile bike around the loch.
It isn't cheap but it's an awesome weekend with big dinner, ceilidh and fireworks after, camping, and breakfast and massages the next day.
There's a fundraising element to it too.

Tooting Aquathlon Series - local, cheap and after work, they run every fortnight (may to july) - could choose one and also a good one to socialise after also!
For sprint distance racing - http://www.oceanlaketri.co.uk/our-races.html Tony previously mentioned this. Reasonably priced, 5 races over the year, usually starting quite early in march, I think. Issue is the bike route is quite dangerous with pot holes and huge lorrys going past at 70mph (hope im not over selling it).
Many of us did the Sussex triathlon this year in Ashburnham which is organised by TL Sports Events. They have a number of races including Marathons, Triathlons, Open water swims around Surrey/Sussex. http://www.tlsportsevents.co.uk/tlevents.html
http://nicetrievents.com/ It's a bit far to go, but these are events around Cambridgeshire/Bedfordshire. Races include Open water, Duathlons, Triathlons, Marathons
Hope these are helpful.
Also forgot to mention the Henley swims, open water and marathon swims. More info here - https://www.facebook.com/HenleySwim/

Somewhat unrelated, if anyone's interested - https://www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/find-events
Keep an eye on this forum for Time Trialing events, 10 - 100 mile (or even 24hr) races will be put up next year. You don't need a time trial bike to race, plenty of people start off using their road bikes.
Has anyone done any TT races...and could recommend?
