It was my first year at Ashbourne triathlon. Overall I really enjoyed it but here are my areas for improvement: cramped bike transition area; moving to and from the areas of transition to the start or to the next leg was confusing; carpets/matting in transition to/from swim would be good - the carpeting was not in the correct area for barefoot walking - it was part of the bike transition and a trip hazard; the pre-race info had not mentioned bike helmet sticker and this led to confusion before entering the transition area; race numbers and stickers should be sent out by post the week before if possible as this part is fiddly prior to entering transition; there was no secure bag storage as stated (just a pile of bags free for all). Bike and run course was spot on except for traffic, which is largely unavoidable. No issues with slower/faster swimmers so this was organised well from my point of view. I will definitely look forward to doing the event again next year!

Well organised friendly event, good for first-timers. The event was less enjoyable than previous years, mainly due to the cramped conditions in Transition and having to wait for others to get out of the way, and the bike course wasn't so much fun either.

Well run as always. A lot of traffic in the town centre forcing cyclists to put their feet down several times and stop. Not much the team can do to control this though. Likewise issues on the trail run with dogs and families getting in the way of runners, perhaps some signage asking members of the public to be considerate to runners wouldn't go amiss. Outside this not much the team could do and overall they were great, friendly and very supportive! Thanks to all the marshalls!

Positives: Marshalling around the venue and signage on the course excellent. Staff generally very helpful and encouraging. Overall the event was enjoyable. Negatives: I did not receive my start time at all prior to the event and only received final instructions upon prompting. Despite pre pool briefing , I was blocked by slower swimmers even when 'tapped'. My bike was racked in plenty of time against the allocated number in the middle of a rowe. When leaving the pool, the bikes so densely racked mine couldn't be seen and my transition kit had been moved and was not visible. This gave competitors racked at the end of the racks an advantage. There needs to be more space between racked bikes, (use either side if the rack). and the position numbers needs to be vertical markers, say every 10 positions. At the end of the day, we do this for fun and it certainly shouldn't be taken seriously so these are slight negatives that could be improved on.
