← ATW Grafman Middle Distance Triathlon
Really enjoyed this event. My first time and it exceeded my expectations. It was a chilly start (water temperature 14.5), but the water was lovely and clear. Self seeded rolling start meant no dramas or danger of being swam over. Aussie exit was fun and loads of support and encouragement as we got out and entered second lap. Transition was easy and well marked and easy to run on getting out the water. Bike course was fantastic. Road surface was good. Well sign posted. Rolling start meant no packs and no drafting. Run course about half grass and half tarmic. Again support was fantastic with public and supporters giving lots of encouragement and making it a festival atmosphere. This is probably one of the UKs best middle distance triathlon. Safe, friendly but a challenge for all abilities.
