I’ve had the pleasure of finishing 18 IMs but have decided I need something to get me back out training properly ( for the last couple Ive seen how little training I can get away with) the question I have is , Have any of the forum done any of the Ultras around? If so which ones? and any advice etc
Cheers
There is an event in west-central Pennsylvania (USA) called the “Two Day Tango.” It is an ultra-distance adventure race perfect for triathletes who want to try something new…VERY heavy on the swim-bike-run disciplines, with some flat-water kayaking and fairly basic orienteering thrown in.
The winning times are generally in the 15 hour range, with others finishing for the next 10 hours or more.
Email me for more details on the race. I have participated quite a few times.

nimbleblade, if you need a teamate pm me. Been meaning to do an adventure race and for me longer is better.
folks, thanks for the info and offer of a team-mate looking to keep it strictly tri though, wondered if anyone had done the Levis double in Canada.
OAR puts on the Off Road Iron Distance Triathlon in Virginia. After the swim the bike is all on fire roads through the hills of western Virginia, along the border of West Virginia, and then a trail run through the hills as well. It is in September and if everything comes together for me I plan on taking part.
