Are you great at taking your clothes off? Then you could be a hot contender in the Edinburgh Bicycle Triathlon, where quick changes could give you a definite competitive advantage.

Swim 400 metres, cycle 11 miles and run 3 ½ miles to receive a free goody bag and the chance to win £500 for completing this stimulating personal challenge. For Hogmanay celebrations at a more leisurely pace, see our Hogmanay 2008 Guide.

New entrants are welcome. Around 1/3 of participants have never completed a triathlon before. Some ‘athletes’ ease themselves in gently, by entering a team: you could just grab two friends who can take the baton from you when you’ve done your part.

Less commitment and more fun. Completing the triathlon as a team and staying in serviced apartments have lots in common. Edinburgh group apartments mean you can enjoy time together while you work out and chill out. Location is everything, and both the triathlon and your Edinburgh serviced apartment can show you the capital at its best.

Holyrood Park is the idyllic Edinburgh setting for this energetic start to 2009. But don’t worry, Holyrood Park’s lochs are not where the swimming will take place: that’s at the Commonweath Swimming Pool. If January outdoor swimming’s your thing though, give the Hogmanay Loony Dook a try as well.
