Can't decide on which Tri to do in June. Who has done both or either and which one was better? Thanks

Dunedin's bike course is pretty flat, no bridges like MP.  The run is partly on the nature trail around the north end of the island which is pretty scenic.

That said, they're still two weeks apart... maybe do both?  I'm doing both just because they're sprints and they so close to home if for no other reason

Why not do them both???  Have done both and both are equally fun.  I think the Dunedin Tri is a little more low key as opposed to the MPM Tri which has a relatively larger turnout and is a bit more competitive.  But like I said they are both fun races to do.

Unless they've changed the bike course, the Dunedin Tri bike course has you going over the bridge 4 times where as the MPM Tri only as 3 bridge crossings.
