Austrian Triathlon Arlberg region

GoHardOrGoHome

There's an interesting triathlon on in Austria on the 25th of August 2018.

1.2k swim in Lake Bregenz, 93 kilometre mainly uphill cycle up to Lech (ski town) and then a 12k run around Lech.

Has anyone done it? Seems pretty spectacular! I don't want to enter and then DNS. Might see how the next three months go.

do go hard or go home people
say things like lets see how the next 3 month go lol.

but it looks like a great race never done the race but have cycled in that area and it great , if cyclng is your strenght its not really harder than an 70.3 race ( results are very simlar to a fast 70.3 race for top finisher )
if cycling is your weakness than it can be a good bit longer.

ps might be the first race ever where I would go road bike

Go Hard Or Go Home was from another era in my life: pre-kids!

I’m not the strongest cyclist but I’d be in the light-ish range and I hate descending so maybe the mainly uphill nature of it might benefit me a little more than the big units.

This will be a no kids expedition if it happens! Have a friend who is a strong cyclist and would prefer a short run and swim. Would suit him too. I know a couple of Austrians in Alberschwende and have done a very small amount of mountain biking in that area. I used to ski in Lech so would be great to see it in summer.

I feel like I’m trying to convince myself!
