This was my first triathlon and what a great one to do. I competed in the sprint distance and loved every minute of it.

Registration was simple and quick where you collected your race number, swim hat, timing chip and a water bottle. Transition area was well organised with numbered racking so no need to get there super early for the best places. Race briefing was done 5mins before the race start and was very informative and clear.

Onto the race itseld and the swim was in the river which was a bit grim with all the weeds and reeds but not much you can do about that, just got to get on with it. Apparently it's less weedy in the middle of the river!

The bike route was a single loop with only a few small inclines and some places to get some good speed up. Signage and marshals on the bike route were well placed so little chance of taking a wrong turn and going off course.

Back into transition and onto the run which consisted of 2 laps of the park for the sprint distance on both grass and path terrain and was well supported by spectators. Water was available at the end of each lap if needed. Once finished you were handed your well deserved medal, a banana and some water. Results were provisional but print outs available straight away which is always a bonus.

Another bonus from the organisers is the free event photos that they put up on their Facebook page.

Overall a great event and really well organised. Definitely recommend this race and Nice Tri events as an organiser.
