Great beginners race. A well organised team got us briefed and off quickly despite the early start, and the transition was thoughtfully placed in the car park due to mud. Well marshalled, and a fantastic course for beginners, the lack of timing chips were made up for by attentive team to capture times. No frills, but a great pre-season event

A good beginner event, with some drawbacks. The Chilly GoTri was my second GoTri event, having done the previous one in September. I felt that this one wasn't as well organised, and the race briefing was less encouraging for beginners than the previous one. The rain definitely dampened spirits, and there was some disorganisation with the starting order, some delay, and the starting numbers being jumbled up. The facilities were good and I felt the timings were accurate and delivered promptly after the race. There was no real photography at this race, as there was at the previous one. It seems to have all been done on mobile phone and is of low quality. The medals are low quality for this event. Given the time of year and conditions, more should have been done to lift spirits of contestants.
