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.
