  • Comments: Race was just a bit delayed because they brought the ambulance in for someone in the first wave in the water. They didn't bring him out so not sure what happened to them, maybe left on their own or stayed. But not much of a delay. Had a lot of kid volunteers but they were really good. Kept cheering everyone on and telling them how great they were doing, even the back of the pack turtles like me coming in at the end. Really fun race. Would do it again.

  • Comments: Only my third triathlon so no much to compare it with. But as a Brit resident am always impressed by the smooth organisation of these types of events. Some good touches (e.g. Sat packet pick up, plenty of space it transition, unfussed dealing with early wave swim 'problem'.) I appreciated the tech T-shirt with funky logo (no need for race medals) enjoyed the crystallised fruit (!), announcer was really encouraging, and nearly everything around transition seemed to go well apart from perhaps some 'roping' issues with the crowd. Downside is that the run is really punishing at the start and end. I'd read the BT race reports of 2009 race and did a recce on Saturday afternoon but it is literally a pain to run over that terrain if you are not a trail runner. The gravel was almost as bad on the way back. That's why I'm giving the race a 4/5 - otherwise very pleased with the event and my performance.
