A cracking overall event! Registration was easy, plenty of parking not to far from Transition. Race day - A nice short and concise race brief before being led to a nice 2 loop swim of the lake, nice clean water although a little shallow if you get too close to the small islands. Bike - A 2 loop course, a little more undulating than I was expecting. The first section up towards Northampton was on quite major roads although traffic was ok, once off there there was some nice fast country lanes taking you towards the one significant climb which is a few miles short of T2. Once up there though it is a FAST few miles in to T2!! Run - 4 loops - The loop is a mixture of pavement, manmade track and off road. I found the off road section quite tough on the feet by the end, also race day was really hot and there was little shade on offer. At the end of each loop you pass through transition which is a good opportunity to see family and friends, this is where most of the support is throughout the day. Overall - A good value for money event and nicest of bling and hoodie to go with!! Would I do it again.... yes.
