Thank you so much for an amazing day in beautiful Sanremo! I had come from Australia, and participated with a broken wrist which I broke 3 weeks ago when training.

It's a nice race in a beautiful place. It needs to be better organised. The race judges were not adequately informed about the route in the change area, the bike path was not adequately protected.

Na trasie rowerowej mimo że mieściłem się w limicie czasowym poruszały się pojazdy. Na podjeździe nie było żadnych kontroli czy wszyscy są cali i zdrowi. Na zjeździe z góry poruszały się na drogach pojazdy co było bardzo niebezpieczne!!! Przy dojeździe do strefy zmian musiałem w...

Communication was initially only in Italian, but after a few announcements, it was translated into English. At the start, there was only one toilet, which was clearly not enough. Swim was good organized and really a great experience. The food supply during the cycling part could be improved, and the second aid station should be placed somewhere on the mountain (e.g., halfway up the long climb) rather than before the descent. The road conditions on the bike course downhill were dangerous and should be further improved. Some improvements were already underway, but more work still needs to be done. The refreshments during the run were excellent. At the finish area, drinks were offered immediately and the medal was handed out. Unfortunately, there was quite a long wait at the pasta party because food still had to be cooked – which is great, of course, but ideally you want something to eat right away.
