I had entered this race after completing the Sandman, AAH events are extremely well organised, sufficed to say instructions and registration were smooth
100 swimmers per wave navigated the anti-clockwise course at a record breaking 16*c
exiting the roomy transition the bike leg took you over the challenging Pen-y-Pass where a photographer was lying in wait to capture your enjoyment/ pain, Marshall’s were on hand to warn you of hazards on this open road course
a short run from T2 had taken you to the slate quarry, a tough ascent brought you to the1st feedstation, ran along the top and down through the woodlands out by the National Slate Museum a short run along side the lake railway to the finish area.
this Triathlon showcases the beauty of the Snowdonia National Park, whilst the landscape is breathtaking it is also a reminder of the terrain, which is also lung busting.
