A great starter event in the Cheshire plains area. Bike was nice and flat and hats off to the organisers for hoosing safety first. The bike course was meant to tmbe 24km on the sprint distance, but it was shortened to 12km ish due to flooded roads etc.
Improvements - check in. A tad disorganised and duathletes had to have numbers swapped to people who were not turning up as not enough timing chips )
The safety briefing for duathletes , told by check in by the pool at 945am. Got there and we were all told not surenof where were starting , etc etc. So it caused some worry for some.
But... we got our proper briefing by the race organiser. Near start line and all updated accordingly.
Run 1 and 2- 6km/3km good route. Flat overall. Couple of bridges with steps on, which when raining and leaf fall I just took my time
Bike- 12km instead of 24km but 100% agree with decisions on this. Safety first, every time!!
Marshals were great. Majority very supportive.
Great how got to speak with race organiser at the end as gave feed back in person too.
Would I do this event again? yes ,100%
Duathlons - such a great sport and love it when organisers do them !!
Really enjoyed this event. Well organised. The flexible swim start worked well. Transition area straight forward. Cycle route clearly marked & well Marshall. The 2 lap run route was good for spectators, the steps on the bridges were challenging. Good weather & friendly helpful staff. One thing I did notice if you're racing at the end of the event it looked a bit grim , ie few people there & staff were clearing away. Ps the showers in the leisure centre were nice & hot. All in all a great day.
My first triathlon, amazing experience well organised and everything signposted well, friendly marshals. Piloted a new running course this year - wasn’t the biggest fan doing 4 laps, also a lot of steps over bridges which I appreciate was for our safety but would be better if a similar route without steps could be sorted.
Otherwise amazing thank you!
Smooth and stress free event. I was a bit worried beforehand as my name didn’t initially appear on the start list but once I arrived on the day everything went very smoothly and it was well organised with good signage on the bike and run and plenty of marshals especially on the run. Bit disappointed about the lack of t-shirt or goody bag but I suppose the goody bag is a lot of extra plastic so it’s probably a good move. Also like the fact that parking is nearby and plentiful. Will definitely do it again, knee permitting.
