Well it is an iconic full distance race and it certainly delivered. 2 site transition is always a faff but was manageable with not too much fuss. Amazing expo at registration and set up / racking easy despite dual locations. Stauyed in Neuremberg so a bit of a drive to the start but parking easy. Swim was busy but ok and the canal is wide. of course no current though but a good time. Bike course is fast and Solar Hill is remarkable - an experience all full distance triathletes should try. The run was a new course. 21 km along a canal was a little boring after 5km and dire at 18km. The last hill at 30km was also tough but the viilage after worth it and then back to the finish. In an arena it is spectacular and so cool to finish like that. Post race food and showers were good and the bars in the area are fab. The day ends with an amazing fireworks diaplay. Certainly a bucket list race but only once for me. Too many others to choose.
