“Good event, well organised - The signs to the start were not very clear particularly from the highway. The email explaining how to get to the start was good but it was sent a little late - the evening before - so may not have been read by everyone - especially as it was a very early start on race day!”

“Hi Andy. The instructions for directions to the venue were posted on the FB page on the Friday. Apologies for the lateness in the final email but it was done because I was fielding so many enquiries by phone. FYI, for every race there is a downloadable file which gives clear and concise instructions regarding the event. I am working on bigger HIGHWAY SIGNS for next events.”

“Really good course, well organised and challenging - Wasn't quite sure why results weren't even mentioned at the end of the race?”

“Good event but poor value - A well organised event but a very high entry fee and no medal or t shirt is a little dissappointing. ”

Comment from the Event Organizer - 03.12.2013
“Hi Chris. Because there are 9 races in the series, I made a decision when putting the series together that we will "reward" participants with a stylish commemorative series tee shirt (At the end of the series), plus series certificate (which has all your results). I did not think people who did the whole series would want 9 medals and 9 shirts. My focus had been on delivering a well organised event, providing a super-safe venue and making the day a family outing- hence the kids category.”

“Fantastic and Safe Event for All Ages - Duathlon #2 built on Duathlon #1 and yet again offered a safe and secure venue for the event. No mobile coffee shop this time for a post race caffeine shot but that may have been due to the late change in event date. If not then something to consider next time the event uses this venue. Really nothing to complain about though and the whole family plan to be back to take part in Duathlon #3!”

“Great race and course - Well done for putting together such a great race again. Communication on the changes was also done very well. Course was great, fast and clean and the fact we can enjoy a race with our kids is awesome. A drink/coffee stand like at the sevens would've been perfect. Looking fwd to the next one!”

“Great morning and we'll organized event - Very we'll organized event where everything ran smoothly (apart from my back that collapsed during bike leg). Will definitely try to do a few more in the series. Regarding the shift from dec 2 to 1. All of us living here in the UAE knows things like this happen and nothing that can be blamed on organizers. ”

“Enjoyed it- results on the day? - Really enjoyed this morning, good atmos and a nice simple course. The only thing missing was announcements of today's winners/ results at the end - I didn't win any category but if I had it would have been nice to have a medal and presentation for the day. I know it's a series and prizes etc come at the end, but each event is an effort for competitors and deserves a medal in my opinion! I'll be back though.”
