It will sell out, and fairly fast. I can't see there being many places left by lunchtime Monday. Opens at 9am on Sunday per their bookface page.

Entered. Love the course

Really liking this opt out of tee shirt option-although still a high asking price at 50EUR without tee-shirt. Anyway look forward to it.

Good luck to all who enter. We remember Caroline well at Swords CC and she is sadly and sorely missed. She should be peaking for London now but her memory is kept alive by great events such as this.

Registration is now full for this event. You can still take your chances via the waiting list.

I was sent this picture which I thought was appropriate timing. The athlete that finished second that day was Helen Tucker. She's better known these days as Helen Jenkins and is favourite for this year's Olympics.

Bike course if 44km or thereabouts. Rolling with two (cant think of a third) tough-ish drags, but nothing long or anything to worry about. Two sharp corners as well, but always well marshalled. Make sure to stay inside the white lines at these as DQ's have happened (BMC in 2010) Two laps, road surface better than most, good course.

Run is flat and a little short (9.7km ish) two out and back sections, the second one being quite long, gives plenty of opportunities to spot that guy you're chasing down!

Good race, well organised, decent feed after.
