Recommendations for 1st Olympic distance

Hi All

I'm thinking of doing my first olympic distance tri and I'm hoping you guys can recommend some good beginner friendly courses.

Ideally looking for one late July onwards.

Thanks

Ash

Try London or Dartford

The women only triathlon run by human race is a good one to get your teeth into, as at Dorney lake so a flat course and you don't get trampled on the swim.  On in late July I think.

The Bridge is our club Olympic race. It's not too big, in London, and we will have our own wave so will be very friendly. I also liked Reading in early September.

The Bridge tri would be a good one - easy to get to especially if you drive or can cadge a lift. Not too big. Lots of other club members there. Swim civilised and bike and run course reasonably flat.

If that sounds too easy we still have space in the cabin if you want to try

That way all the other Olympic tris you do will seem remarkably straightforward

Thanks All!!

 

I think I'll pass on Alp D'euz this year but will look at the bridge!
