I dont do loads of triathlons as more of a trail runner so I always try to fit a Castle race into my calendar! The bike & run routes are stunning and although there are some cheeky hills on run, the courses suit all abilities. The swim isnt the clearest but undersrand its due to depth of lake & recent heat waves. You're organisers and marshalls are always so supportive, helpful & happy! Shame more events dont follow suit!! Only negative was goody bag! Its nice not to get lots of junk but just a tshirt for half iron is a bit tight. Maybe twist sponsers arms for samples or one of your water bottles??? Thanks again & might see you in ireland or france nxt year!!
