A great swim and run, but marred for me by the 6 lap bike course.
Pre race: Good communication via email with clear details
Race day setup: Friendly staff, however a bag drop mentioned in details was not available
Swim: No safety briefing prior to race. 1 official at swim start entrance but could not be heard by most competitors made for a slightly confused start. I only noticed the exit point when starting the swim. Clear water, 3 lap course.
Bike: 6 laps of a course that spent a long time on fast A roads. It felt unsafe to overtake at times due to the speed and close passing of fast traffic. A mandatory foot down stop point was well marshalled. I saw motorists getting frustrated at cyclists and close passing. The country section was great and I wished for more roads like that.
Run: A challenging run route that was on grass, and had an undulating wooded section to test the legs. Brilliant marshalling and 2 feed stations, 1 with a portaloo was welcome. 4 laps.
Finish: Water & snacks available. Sadly they had run out of t shirts in sizes other than small by the time the last competitors finished.
