  • Comments: Somersault races are interesting to say the least. At this event there are sprint try, try-a-tri, super sprint, HIM, full iron distance, duathlon version of each, relays, kayak tri, canoe tri, swim-cycles, swim only, and four distances of running races. The overall result is that you never know where you are in relation to the others in your event. As time went on there were fewer and fewer people on the course and as a result I felt that I was way behind. It turned out I was evenly in the middle of the HIM pack and the dwindling racers was due to the shorter distances finishing. The other problem with this race is the fan support. Transition is set up in a stadium but there is generally no one there. Of course there is no entertainment or post-race events like at other races so it wouldn´t be very exciting to spend the day there anyways. There are maybe about 100 people lining the bike course (I liked the guys with cowbells on the one hill on the bike course - very Tour de France

  • Comments: The race part was well organised, nothing to say about it. The only thing is the race site is set up in such a way that there is no real race atmosphere. People finish their races and then go home ASAP.
