Excellent event.. Competed last year in Sunday general mixed, it was very well organised. The transition area was snug but it is a busy event. Swim was good plenty of room for different levels of swimmer. The cycle course is closed road and provided some tight sections to keep you sharp while riding! Run course reasonability flat. The back drop provided some great photos. General set up was excellent.
