I had entered for the Sprint Triathlon (750m/20k/5k) but the day didn't get off to a good start as the swim had to be cancelled due to water quality issues (too much blue/green Algae) Human Race were very good though and sent a text around 7am explaining. Although a shame, there's nothing anyone can do when this happens and it's just one of those things. My race therefore, became a Duathlon with a 2.5k run replacing the swim.
Venue is great and it has a proper 'big race' feel with so many waves and races throughout the day. Lots of support and several vendors selling their wares. Bike course is fantastic as there are no cars, it's very flat and a great surface. Due to all the different waves no matter how fast or slow you are there will always be lots of others at some point of their bike leg 5.5k loops) around you so it really does feel like a proper bike race (compared to some I have done where you are on your own a lot.) I really enjoyed the bike leg although for longer race distances I guess you could get fed up with so many laps.
Run was a flat out and back along the lake (2 laps for me) with plenty of supporters high fiving and helping you on your way.
Less than 24 hrs later I received a detailed explanation of why the swim was cancelled together with an offer to race next year with 33% off. Fantastic customer service and totally unexpected. I will definitely be back!
