Good event - very well organised, good pool route (liked the zig zag approach) and interesting technical cycle route. Marshals were good, especially the enthusiastic scouts. The main problem was that the run times (and hence final times) are a minute too fast in the preliminary results (as verified by 5 people in both men's and women's Sprint) but this is still unchanged 5 days after the event. I've never seen this occur in any race to date. The photos are ludicrously expensive which is a shame as it just means that most folk won't buy any.

Excellent sprint tri for all abilities. Nice pool to get you going. Tight technical bike ride with a few flats to get the pace up. Steady run course with a slight mix of terrains. I’ll be back next year.

Great event-I liked the bike course as it was more demanding than just a straight road race ! Really supportive marshalls as always!
