A bit of confusion regarding the run course change as I didn’t receive the email. So first I heard was on the rave briefing. Very well marshalled/sign posted. Great buzz and would definitely so it again. Thanks for a great day!

Everyone was so supportive. But there were parts of the 5k (which wasn’t 5k lol) where it wasn’t clear where to go and I had to ask spectators. The Marshalls were so supportive as were the motorcyclists! Really good!

Really enjoyed the event, I would have preferred two longer laps for the run rather than three shorter ones

I found the cycle course particularly challenging in particular the turn around point. Which has highlighted deficiencies in my training. So when I had the final 5 k to run I was already shattered. The stewards were phenomenal and ensured I finished with a smile on my face ear to ear. The other competitors as I dragged my bones around the course were positive to a man, encouraging me all the way. A truly positive inclusive atmosphere from everyone. Fish’s in the custard were the PA system at the start couldn’t be heard down in the cheap seats. The extra distance not being calculated for the second 5 k was a blow, the triple loop wasn’t ideal. Transition was a mud bath. However none of that distracted from a great experience.
