But with such a fitness or yours, i'll enter you into the long distance race!! also you're right about the water temperature... sometime i forget that in a warm 16oC water, a tatooed canadian will dive without wetsuit!!! i think i best get use to the cold water temperature if i go to Escape of Alcatrez next year, anyway....</p> <p>Dave, at this time of the year, it's much likely the off season in france. Not sure you can find a lot of races, except perhaps in the south along the french riviera. If you read french, go to www.guidathlon.com. A friend of mine keeps the calendar up to date with all the tri, duathlon, raid races, run+bike events. Now ff you want, i can look around for you and keep you posted</p> Well John, perhaps next year you’ll get a package from me to try the tiathlon there.

I can also see how absolutely stunning it must be to do a tri at that location. 16C cold? Come on?! Tell the guys who did the World Champs that 16C is cold! lol Laurent - I can only imagine what it felt climbing in the Alps with not enough mileage on the legs.

These may include Triathlons, marathons, road bike races, mountain bike comps - any ideas where I can find out suitable events?
