ANECDOTE

Years Of Scouting Led To Woburn

  • Iain Hamilton says finding the Woburn venue took years of scouting and 90,000 miles of travel in their site-visit vehicle.
  • He recounts negotiating permissions with the Duke of Bedford and finally securing the estate for an Outlaw event.
ADVICE

Prepare For An Undulating Fast Bike

  • Expect an undulating, fast-in-parts bike that rewards good downhill speed rather than a flat TT-style ride.
  • Prepare to ride varied terrain and change position often to avoid cramps and manage effort.
ADVICE

Practice Two-Lake Swim Transitions

  • The swim at Woburn uses two small lakes with a short run between them to allow individual starts and better spectator viewing.
  • Train for two quick water exits and a ~200m jog to simulate the race flow and transitions.
