    Hello, I have entered the 2012 UK Ironman event (Bolton). Just wondered if there is anyone else doing the same event to share the build up experience with. A little on my own with this. Perhaps it seems a little odd to join the beginner group, but I have not done a triathlon before. I have some running experience. I am currently learning to swim confidently. Cycling, again a novice. I have just moved house, I am about to change jobs and about to become a Dad for the first time in March. Could be an interesting 6 months :)

    Just a starting point for some people getting into the triathlon's, but Duathlon's are extremely competitive too. Check out the following to see who came top in the Duathlon World Championships: http://www.triathlon.org/news/article/france_golden_in_duathlon_team_relay/

    Managed a 'MudRun' at the weekend - 7.5 miles of pure fun and mud and a great alternative training run. Check it out for next year....http://www.mudrunner.co.uk/

    Also, did anyone watch Cavendish become world champ? Like him or loath him, amazing cyclist....
