The Brutal - Not for the normal!
February 13th, 2011 by Phil Brown
The Brutal is the hardest double iron distance race in the world. There is no other like it. You will begin by swimming 4.8 miles in the beautiful Lake Padarn - this will be the easiest part of your day. Once through transition you will start the extremely challenging bike course. This involves cycling 224 miles through stunning scenery and over brutal hills, you will continue to cycle in darkness and finally get back to transition. If you survive the ride, you will then begin a 52 mile run that involves... yep, more hills! But not just hills because this race is called The Brutal. You will finish by climbing up and down Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales! You can then call yourself a Brutal finisher.
