    Have recently heard of http://www.gaelforcewest.ie/ and it looks pretty cool. Just wondering if anyone on here has done it or knows anyone who has done it and what their experience was, what training they did, etc?

    Takes place in August so if I do it I've got a big training challenge ahead of me!

    Breakdown of event:

    Running/Walking: 20km Approx
    Cycling: 44km Approx
    Kayaking: 1.6km Max

    The detailed breakdown, nature and sequence of activity is as follows:
    Stage 1: Beach, Trail and Road Run 12km
    Stage 2: Kayaking across Killary Harbour 1.6km
    Stage 3: Trail and Road Run 3.5km
    Stage 4: Cycling 32.5km
    Stage 5: Mountain Run/Hike 4.5km
    Stage 6: Cycling 12.5km

    Sounds great, I've never done anything like this before though, what sort of training would I be looking at to prepare for it?

    Never kayaked before although there's one right beside my rugby club so could learn there easy enough.

    Had looked at it, but ended up signing for Tough Guy instead.

    If Im not gone mad into Marathons next year, I might. Sounds like a good event. I talked to one girl who is to do it this year, she had started training in running and cycling at the beginning of the year.
