Did the race in 2022
The stand out part of the day has to be every single Marshall. They made the day amazing; so much positive and sincere encouragement. THANK YOU MARSHALLS. I was quite scared/shocked when it was declared non wetsuit. I did feel the cold on the swim but rules are rules!Swim was lovely and so many Marshall’s to keep you safe. And the climb out of the river was much easier than it looked. Bike route was challenging but interesting and road quality was good (I didn’t see any potholes!)The run course had a couple of ‘false summits’ (not a criticism) but after lap 1 the course was really enjoyable. Although the course was in an open park all the locals were amazingly friendly and supportive. Could do with more toilets and split locations so easier to access for different phases at the HQ. Bring on 2023!
