• Comments: The Elites raced after the Age Groupers. It would have been amazing to watch, sadly Christine and I were exhausted and shelter, shower and food seemed like the better option. After dissecting each others race we ate & slept most of the afternoon away. Comments to come out of the race included; our wave was about 3 minutes behind the expected time for our/the swim. People were pulled out of the swim with hypothermia. The bike course was tough, in that it was a long way out & lonely. Two 20km laps would have been preferable. There were very few motorbikes out checking for drafting. All in all if this race is on next Easter I'd almost certainly not do it again. Its a big ask of our partners to give up a four day weekend in the name of triathlon, but I can't thank them enough for their support. I did enjoy the Olympic distance and when starting out never saw this distance as anything more than a race that Olympians do! Sadly issues with timing bands see no times for each event
