I did this for the first time as a step up from my usual super sprints. The weather was horrid and a shame was that dogs weren't allowed into the venue which as we camped with our puppy made logistics harder and meant the support wasn't there for me personally. The swim was in a lovely clear lake and after a short jog to transition we were off on the bikes. This felt hard and as I found out on my second lap I had a flat tyre but an amazing marshal helped and I got back underway. The run is two loops of the woods and one lap of the lake. The woods is really uneven so if you aren't a fan of trail running hen this isn't for you. I turned my ankles a free times and was pleased when I saw the nice even lap of the lake. I would be tempted to move the run to the lake just for the safety of holes etc in the woods but all in all a good well run race.
