“Too many obstacles on the track for both legs - Good registration process but having smaller children walking and riding on the same track as the adults was dangerous. Also the difference inn tallying up the cycle laps was a challenge and will affect the race series winner. Prizes were good. ”

“The whole series has been designed around an all inclusive event with kids competing alongside adults. For the safety of the kids we don't put them on the cycle track alongside fast cyclists and we also keep them separated from cars. The counting of your laps is your responsibility as with most lap races around. If we see a cycle split which does not look correct then we investigate. Thx for the comments. AF”

“Pretty good and getting better! - Great event, nice location too. Closed track would have been good. Liked the out/back loop on the run - shame about there being no marshal at the turning point. Looking forward to the next one for sure.”

“Ideally a closed track would be nice and maybe something we think about next time. Yes, a cone and marshal went AWOL which was disappointing. :-)”

“Excellent Race - good fun - This was my second event and even though I did not train enough before was lots of good fun. Looking forward to the second race where I can possibly beat my time and catch some friends up. ”

“Great format - 1st turn as everyone mentioned needed manning!apart from That spot on and great to be competing around the kids. Price on the slightly higher side but would compete again.”

“Thanks Ben. Plans were all in place for a run turn cone and marshal, having gone through this with staff the night before and on the morning of the race and I was assured it was done.......next time I wont start the race until I check myself !!! I need to clone myself I think. Regards, Andy.”

“Really enjoyable event! - Really enjoyed the event, well organised and really had a good positive and family atmosphere. 1st turnaround point on run 1 was missing but apart from this race briefing was good and course easy to follow. just a shame that the race winner decided the bike passing rules don't apply to him and squeezing past my wife on the left hand side almost causing her to fall off (having a name on your race number makes for easy recognition my friend) ”

“Great course and well organised. - Marshalls were missing at first turn on the initial 3km run. Suggest in future that at all turn around points a marshall is in place - helps avoid cheating also!”

“Run turn was an error by me in not checking that my instructions had been carried out. Will check myself next time. Thx, Andy”

“Superb Event - I really liked the atmosphere; there was a good balance between beginners and more serious athletes. The race briefing beforehand was very detailed and the layout of the event was well thought through. The result format is clear and easy to follow but I would like to see the results grouped together for males/females as well. Overall, I would recommend this event and can't wait for race 2!”

“I will add overall results in a new file to be uploaded in next day or so. Thx, Andy.”

“Loved it! - I really liked; the atmosphere, MC-ing, the blind corners that were okay to do at full speed (second time around), the tiny kids racing their hearts out, the give a ways and Costa coffee. I also thought the toilet cleaner was fab, he certainly wasn't going to let any dirt stay on the floor for anything length of time! I would like to have had a marker and marshal at the top of the run turn and wish people wouldn't cycle so fast - there were some beasts out on the course!”

“Thank you Jonathan for the feedback and comments. Issue with run turn addressed above. Thx, Andy.”
