Well here it was – the first triathlon race of the season for me. This is now the second time I have taken part in this event and I can see it becoming the first event and a regular thing for me each season. Why? Well it is just a nice simple race that is flat, fast and a sprint distance (400m swim, 20K bike and 5K run). It’s a chance to blow some cobwebs out, and there were a few of these especially the transitions.

I cannot recommend this event more for any beginner or newbie. Being enclosed around Dorney lake with just a few hundred participants, you can’t get a simpler triathlon. It all kicks off at 10am, so not the usual early morning start. What’s also a bonus is that the wife likes this one as it’s dead easy to spectate.

Good event in a fantastic location (2012 Olympic site), cold water but perfert TRI courses for beginner as it is a flat for bike and running part.

Had a great day and will probably do it again next year...

first time for me in open water. Easy access to water and, good transition zone, bit boring with the 4 bike loop, nice and flat run. Marshalls very good on the day. 

Pre event info a bit lightweight, sent a couple of messages that were not replied to and no advice on water temperature ( had to ask one of the marshals)

overall a good day and will probably do it again.
