I did my first race, the bridge to bridge, a few weeks ago. I really enjoyed it and would like to do another one.

I am not experienced enough to do 20 beaches etc and was wondering what races are on around sydney that would suit a beginner/intermediate?

Thanks,

I'll go in the Blast race. I am trying to convince my wife to go in the race as well.
