Swim
Comments: Swim format was a new one on me. Swimmers were set off in one minute interval so that as it's a 3 lane pool by the time it came to me setting off there was only one other swimmer in the pool. This format worked pretty well for getting a clear swim but slight detraction as you had no-one to race against. What would you do differently?: Probably could have gone a bit harder. Transition 1
Comments: The run from T1 to the bike mount was massive. What would you do differently?: Have the shoes on the bike so as not to get them all messed up with the long run to the mount line Bike
Comments: Lots of blingy bikes on show. This is a cyclists race. Short swim and long bike. Closed roads though which was nice. What would you do differently?: By a fantoosh bike. Transition 2
Comments: Massive run to T2 again Run
Comments: Partly off road run. Up and down wee hills. I enjoyed the run. Had a woman to chase for the last mile but failed to catch her. Post race
Event comments: A bit lacking in atmosphere. The swim was closed to spectators which really had a big effect on the excitement. Transition area was also left open all the time so people were milling about a lot and sometimes getting in the way - all a bit disorganised. Never seen so many marshals though.
