I did Westonbirt last year, it was really good. although a long run from the swim to T1, the swim was quite busy but ok probably best to have some footware to run from the pool to T1. The ride was good not any significant hills to worry about and the run was good, only 1 large hill from what I remember.

nice T shirt at the end all the best Marcus

Andy - I have only done Burnham - 500m swim, then a pan flat bike - fast and then a 5km beach run - love it - always good weather (well only had one thunderstorm in all the years I have done it)

good luck

Hi, How about Tewkesbury. Unusually starts at 4.00 (mid may) in the afternoon as well. I've done it a few times. Well organised although can be a long wait sometimes between registration closing and your start time. Pool swim, reasonable ride, out and back, run though Tewkesbury and then twice around the rugby field. cheers marcus

Hiya. I did Westonbirt last year-my second triathlon ever. It was really well organised and enjoyable. Not far at all from the pool to the bike and both bike and run were pretty flat. I would recommend it.

Haven't done Burnham but did Tewkesbury.It was really flat. Problem with Tewkesbury is the half a mile walk from the car park to the start carrying gear.

Doing Westonbirt again this year.

Andy, agree with Eric, try Burnham. I've done Tewkesbury but much prefer Burnham, the sand can be a bit of a pain to run in but it's really well organised. I'll be there so give me a shout if you decide to compete. It is an early start though but that solves the traffic problem.
