Amazing event. Quite challenging!
Great organization. Many thanks to all involved. And special thanks to the safety marshalls in the sea in canoes / kayaks who were vigilant and alert and very helpful.

Race entry and competitors information was easy to read and follow
Course was well marked and marshalled the bike course was a little tight at the start and as it was such a hot day lots of traffic and pedestrians (this was mentioned in race briefing) The run was a very simple out and back along the seafront
Nice Medal and merchandise
I did feel the bike course was missing one Marshall at one intersection
And finding the retails/timings was a bit of a challange to find as the link didn’t seem to work
not a course if your PB hunting but a fab friendly and fun first time event or looking to add a sea swim event into your races
I would recommend it
