Thoroughly enjoyed the event, well organised, and great fun. I thought the the individual swim starts worked well, and was great for those weaker swimmers, or those put off by the thought of a mass scrum. Ideal for people doing their first triathlon (or first open water event). I am not sure how feasible this would be for larger races due to time constraints however. Enjoyed having support at key points, and the feed station on the run was a pleasant surprise. My only minor complaint would be that at a couple of points on the run, it was necessary to cross a road. Not a problem early in the morning, just I wasn't expecting it. Keep up the good work, and hope to see you next year.

I live in Dawlish and I love Dawlish. I am not surprised to find that I love Dawlish Triathlon - what a great event. I think I need to practice that cycle route to get the best out of myself next year. The organisers and Marshalls were great and really friendly. Thank you for a brilliant event

Overall I loved the event super well organised, super friendly amd supportive throughout. Only two comments/thoughts i had were firstly, you could look at the swim, so as to avoid the clashing of finishers and starters. This could be start more at a time, swim clockwise, or finish the swim on the beach and running along the back to the steps. Secondly, as you come down the hill on the bike towards the roundabout where you either bear left to start another lap, or turn right for transition, there is (and very nearly aas yesterday) an opportunity for a collision. There either needs to be a no overtaking policy leading up to this, or at the very least guidance coming down to stay left or right depending on where you are heading. I'm not a fast defender, but yesterday I was catching the guy in front on the bike coming down the hill, as we approached the roundabout he stayed left, in fact actually moved further left. I moved slightly right, thinking I'd overtake as me left the roundabout, but he suddenly veered right across my path with no indication whatsoever, causing me to slam the brakes on and veer left sharply. It was one of those times where everything came together in a bad way. But in the heat of 'the race'....... My overall experience of the race was fantastic, I've already given a very positive report on the club fb page , so certainly don't want to come across as whining or that it was a disaster, far from it. Thank you so much for a super day! Rgds Kevin
