← Cholmondeley Castle - Swim Series
First time doing the Swim Series having done the triathlon at all Castle Series locations. I was expecting an Aussie Exit style lap of the lake, however it was a 5km non-stop swim and the course was tricky on the first lap until you got used to the layout but made sense after this. I'd recommend that this is included in the race information as I would have trained slightly differently. That's the only minor criticism I can make. The lake water was great (barring the usual murkiness at the shallow start bit (to be expected with that much disturbance in the water) and there was TONS of safety crew on the water. I finished towards the back of the swim so there wasn't as much cake left, but still got a piece :)
I will absolutely swim this one again next year. Thanks Brian and the team for another great event.
