Friendly and supportive staff. Very well organised. Swim: Not safe unless you’re a very strong swimmer. Currents very strong as clearly the wrong time of the day to host the swim. Many people dropped out. Bike: Good overall, small lanes at the end meant you could not pass even a car without going backwards, don’t recommend that. Run: Hard but super well supported and organised. Overall some very good and very bad parts of the event.

Yes unfortunately the tide & eddies made the middle distance swim very tough. The tide times fall better for 2027 and we'r also looking at ways to improve the swim course we set. With the benefit of hindsight we should have started the swim in the opposite direction as we did for the standalone swims later in the morning. - Sportiva Events
