“Giving a medal for finishers will not harm - Excellent event. Please consider giving medals for fishers on each race. This is very important for kids.”

“Nice event and run smoothly - Enjoyed the two duathlon races I competed in. Nice atmosphere and casual. Results were up quickly and split times would be good in future. Course was well marshalled for the adults, although the cone for a turnaround in the tweens run course was moved and my son missed the turn. Marshal just shrugged when asked if he was at the turn, so my son kept going. Good for his training though! Otherwise no issues and all went smoothly.”

“Great duathlon series - would do again - The main thing missing is a big timing board around the transition area. It would have been really helpful to know roughly what my time was as I was coming through transition each of the times. Also the general breakdowns of the sectors would have been appreciated.”

“A great event - The event was really well done and at an excellent venue. Full credit to all the volunteers on the day. They all worked together to make the experience really enjoyable. The sponsors for the event were also very generous. Perhaps we're being spoiled these days but the only thing that would have added to the day would have been the ability to have seen our splits between the different race segments. This seems to be offered at many multi-sport events. Thanks again!”

“Splits will be offered in 2014/2015 season. Timing is a significant cost for the series so in year one I oped to keep the timing to just finish line. I really appreciate the ratings and comments.”

“Fantastic Events - The last event got me thinking of an 'in between' distance - so not approx. 30km and not 60km for people not quite up for the 60km. I felt after completing the 30km that I could have went further, but doubt I could have went the full 60. Just an idea. Looking forward to 2014/15 duathlon series in prep for my first triathlon. Its a fantastic event and great prep for the Monty tri's. ”

“It nearly killwd me but I loved it - I was put off earlier in the series as I felt the shorter distance races were expensive but having done this today, I will definitely be back next year. I would still hope that shorter races are a little cheaper. Overall, it was great and thanks to all the team/volunteers”

“Good race, would like some goodies in goodiebag - Good one. Would like a T-Shirt or medal in goodiebag. Otherwise enjoyed it. ”

Comment from the Event Organizer - 25.04.2014
“Thx for the comments. As this was a "series: the goody bag was filled by our sponsors. The reality of giving a tee shirt/medal per race would have a) increased the price per event or b) not made a lot of sense to end up with multiple identical medals/tees if you do 5 or so events. I have always focused on the events being about participation and getting fit plus being events which run smoothly and are over quickly.”

“Lovely race, but no prizes per race!? - Lovely course! - but you need to pay attention through transition though - not all that straight forward. Nice small event, easy access and pack collection, but unfortunate that there are no prizes per race.. A quick mention who won that race that day. ”

Comment from the Event Organizer - 25.04.2014
“Thx for the comments. The series was always advertised as a "series" with an emphasis on spot prizes per event and then overall series winners as per prize giving today. I created the series to focus on participation and make it a family fun event but also something challenging enough for the more seasoned athlete. Andy.”
