I returned to the K2 Sports evening triathlon series for the August event. This was run in a slightly different way with seeded start times. The start times were based on your previous results with the slower times going off first. The start times were around 30 seconds apart with one to three going off at a time.

This was a fairly unique addition for an open water event and really added something. It made the swim start a lot less busy. Sighting was a lot more inportant as there weren't as many people around you to help navigate.

Out on the bike I'd recommend a back light for the August event as the evening drew in a little quicker than expected. The course is well marshalled with decent signage on the three laps.

Out on the run the two lap course is around a quiet country lane and fast enough.

As part of the end of the season event there was also a free barbeque put on by the local scout group. This was a really nice touch and very kind of the local scouts. Kudos goes to the vegetarian option. The vege sausages were really great and very welcome after burning up the calories beforehand!

Another great midweek event from K2 Sports. This really is a great series of races to add some extra triathlons to your season or if you usually work weekends.
