This year was my sixth go at the Royal Wootton Bassett Sprint Triathlon having completed all of the previous events from the inaugural 2014 event.
The race lived up to it's friendly, sell out local tri reputation. The course is well marked with enough aid stations and the marshal team were all super friendly and encouraging.
A special note must go to the presence of the Mayor of Royal Wootton Bassett handing out the (rather superb) medals at the finish line. This really adds something special to the event given the rich history of the town.
Finally, a massive thanks must go to the organisers of the event for accommodating me this year. I fractured my femur in a training accident earlier in the year and they gladly assisted me in a change to the relay event where I walked the 5K run course so that I could continue my complete run of the event. The support and belief that the organisers showed when I contacted them in helping me get to the event really was a great boost and focus for my recovery and rehabilitation from the injury.
