Wow what a great, well organised event. The waved swim start worked fantastically well and I have to say it was the best swim experience I've had in a race. It is certainly worth considering this format for next year. No anxiety in the water and jostling for space, it just worked perfectly. The marshalls were really helpful and many thanks for their contribution in creating a great race experience.

Overall I would highly recommend this race, whether you are a seasoned triathlete or a complete novice. It is a fun, spectator friendly and well organised event. To the organisers and all involved at UK Triathlon, many thanks for a great weekend.

Such a friendly race!! Organisers were great with communication from sign up to race finish

camping at lake was brilliant, there was plenty of parking and everything within a stones throw meant the whole event felt much more relaxed

the support from all never wained, even as we cheered the last competitors over the line late into the night despite the new restrictions i felt safe the whole time, plenty of supplies to keep me going through the race. rather enjoyed the staggered swim start!

highly recommend to both beginner and the more experienced
