Race pack - number for helmet and bike. Swim hat and chip.
Race brief- included maps and a short brief.
Start- three waves (normally two but as it was the last of the series there were 9 competitors that were competing against each other). The waves announcements could have been clearer.
Lake- a bit weedy. Marshall’s in the water, good supervision. Easy to see the bouys. Swim was over 100m longer than expected.
Trainsition- it’s small and all in one long rack. Easy to navigate.
Bike- changed to one loop. Signage around the course and a marshal at the right hand turn.
Motorcycle offical on course as well.
Run- three laps of the lake. It was a bit soft, trails shoes would have been been benifically. Easy to navigate.
Lots of photos taken (to purchase).Finished line music and some support. No aids stations - not required.
Water at the finish. And a cake sale.
Its a good event for beginners. Small and easy to get around.
