Me too, my first race was BIRC 2003 at the NIA, didn't have a clue what I was doing but managed a PB and came 5th in the 45-49 MHWT class. There was much more races back then, seemed to be one every month and there was the C2 Grand Prix series through the year. Great fun.Gammmmo wrote:it's exactly what I did. BIRC about 2004 at the NIA. I underperformed admittedly (~6:58 when was probably capable of ~6:50 at the time) but nonetheless an interesting half-day. Nothing verntured, nothing gained....do it.Pie Man wrote:but starting at a national competition is a bit daunting.
Other than the BIRC what UK based ergo comps are there?

And you would have also beaten the most suave sophisticated debonair ladies man in London if not the world...Rocket Roy wrote:If you are near Swiss Cottage in London Pie man, then you could come and race me in my gym!
