This weekend sees the Beaver TriFest splashing along at Belvoir Castle, near Grantham. There are heaps of RAF Triathletes racing and there are 3 distances to choose from: Middle Distance on the Saturday, Standard Distance and Sprint Distance on the Sunday. The Sprint Distance race is doubling as the national Age Group Champs. So there will be some top notch competition.
The weather forecast is not so great but maybe better than last year when it rained for the entire bike leg when I did the middle distance race.
This year, for 2 reasons, I am doing the sprint race. Firstly, it’s the National Champs and that will be fun. Secondly, I just cannot recover quickly from a middle distance race and I do not want to miss out on some essential long distance training during the early weeks of June. The sprint distance is really too short for me and my bike form is not that great over a short blast. So it is a good training race, although the race does coincide with the end of an easy week for me – who knows, maybe the fast guys in my age group will stay away!!

Good luck buddy. As for the weather, it looks like you will get very wet on one day, and blown all over the place on the other. If I was choosing, I would prefer wet!
