  • Comments: The volunteers were just awesome. There were heaps of kids on the run course handing out drinks and high-5-ing you as you went passed - which was nice. I don't know that I would do this 70.3 again. I don't think I have many left in me at this distance, but if I do another one, I want it to be somewhere else just so I can expand my experiences. Overall I had a good time, I just wish I'd have performed better.

  • Comments: There were a few things that were disappointing about the race. 1. There were grandstands for spectators, but last year they have plastic table and chairs out under the marquee which were good. They were not there this year, and when the granstands were in the sun, our spectators had nowhere to go. 2. The back of packers had to electrolyte drink, which made me SO mad and made my cramps worse. On the last lap I got no sports drink, which is why I hurt so badly today. 3. No countdown warning for the start and no one was ready, and the swim being 200m too long.

  • Comments: An amazing race (56 out of 163). And very well organised and supported! Diabetes control was a little high on bike which required two injections. Would of liked to have had one more muesli bar on bike. Probably had one muesli bar to much on run... In total 4100 calories burnt and 3,701 replenished (221g carb)

  • Comments: It was definitely well organised, that's for sure. There was plenty going on as well, and plenty of seating and things. Food, meal vouchers, and a good race pack. I was pleased.

  • Comments: It is a great course, and I really enjoyed myself out there. The volunteers for this race were just awesome. They endured some pretty crap weather all to hand out drinks or stop traffic. They rocked and were incredibly supportive.
