Very very very hard work. I did a junior one a number of years ago back when I was a relatively good swimmer. The swim was fine, but the cycle and run just about ended me. Would imagine it would be doubly hard for a full one. That said, one of my mates in my uni swim team does them often and loves them. Good Luck and I'll see what I can do in terms of sponsor money for you if you go for it

Did the New Years day one in Edinburgh. The distances are relatively short - 300m swim, 20k cycle and 6k run but hilly course made it harder. As long as you are either reasonably fit or do a reasonable amount of training for the couple of months before you'll be fine though you'll be knackered at the end!

Not rocket science but do have a look at a website for tips though.

Good luck!
