Abu Dhabi International Tri

[Pika]

So my sister is home visiting from Abu Dhabi and we got to talking about the Tri they hold there in March. It sounds like a blast though the distances are all strange...for instance the "short course" is 1.5 km swim 100 km bike and 10 km run, the long course is 3km swim 200km bike and 20 km run.
Turns out the bike courses take you out to an island where you ride around the formula 1 race track!! smooth flat and lots of curves !!!
I sooo want to do that though it is not a course built for my strengths ( I'm really not a strong cyclist) but it would be soo fun- I think there would be a big WEEEEE factor!
Now to save up for a flight to Abu Dhabi...

I think this is the one they talk about in the first issue of Lava magazine, it sounded really fascinating. Talk about destination racing!!
