Event comments:

A very well organised event and a fun day. Course was difficult for my ability but not bad for first sprint distance Tri (for a non-endurance athlete!). My wife and kids had the pleasure of meeting Alistair Brownlee who was present all day. Location was beautiful to race in and every competitor friendly and respectful to those of us puffing and panting round the course. Need a couple of days recovery but would recommend this and consider doing again next year. Only downside was quality of water in first 50 metres swim.
