Brilliant race - I did the standard triathlon, after moving to this race at the last minute due to another being cancelled. This was my first standard distance after a couple of sprints, and I was daunted but it was a great experience. The swim was well-organised and -timed for the different events, two clearly signed loops in fairly calm water (a little choppiness on the way back in but nothing major). Lots of plants and silt but fine, good temperature, and enjoyed the mass start. The cycle route is described as rolling which I think is fair, but it does start with a hill and for the standard length it was two loops - the hills are probably a breeze for seasoned athletes and were manageable (I was on flat pedals and a basic road bike and it was fine) but worth looking up the course in advance if you dislike elevation. Beautiful route and very little traffic, well signposted throughout. The run is stunning too, longer than 10k but not outrageously so, and it takes you all around the lake and through woodlands, really beautiful and flat. It might have been nice to have some water with the marshall at the 2.5k turnaround point for the sprint as the only run aid was for the middle distance. The medal is okay and no shirt, but it was an inexpensive entry so can't complain. Really great first standard tri experience, friendly marshalls (and locals!), race organisers were super helpful and all the routes were well-chosen. Would do it again!
