I chose this one as my first tri. Marshalls and volunteers were all very kind and willing to provide the vital transition information. Course beautiful but dont be fooled the first part of the ride is tough up hill, but so worth it once you are there. Run course was amended due to flodding of some parts of the route. Route around the playing field was fine, not a lot to see. Could have done with an extra water station on the run due to the hot weather. (28 degrees) Really enjoyed this race. If not scared of a hill on the bike :) a perfect first tri course.
