Event comments:

The race itself was great and enjoyable. It was a little bit chaotically organised. The athletes guide was very late to come out which adds to the nerves for novices like me There were two separate transition areas and kit was supposed to be transported from TA1 to the race finish. waited 2 hours whilst they sorted many bags before telling us that numbers over xxx would not be transported and athletes had to go back to the beginning to collect. This was a huge disappointment following an enjoyable race, Must be sorted for next year. This was one of the most expensive races I have entered and for a heavily sponsored race post-race activities.goodies was disappointing.

The day that I decided to participate in a triathlon really changed my view of my own obstacles of matching the mind to the body and the spirit to contribute to society.

My expectations for the quality of this years’ Triathlon world championship were fulfilled. This was because of the superb location that is like no other along with having the top triathletes present.

Don’t forget this is an incredibly big year for sport with the Olympics back in Athens where the modern Olympics started, and especially triathlon to make its second appearance.
