“Basic tri with decent route and good organisation. - Timing gives only pseudo splits... Bike and swim split both include a transition. Surely it just takes 2 extra mats, the system is already there. Prizes were disappointing for an age group win, free entry to swims or aquathons that I'm not planning on doing in a busy season, but not to any tri's. No vouchers. Suppose I'm getting greedy, but it is nice to get a little something back after paying entries for self and son. I spent lot of time in traffic to get to Go Sport for race pack pickup. ”

“Awesome - It was a great event but it is a little annoying when you don't get the splits for the race. I messed up on the bike but it wouldve been nice to know my run and swim times. Also, would it be possible to put warren on a safety boat so people can hear the siren for the start when he plays it? Finally, It was strange how the age group 1st 2nd and 3rd people didnt get trophies for sprint and olympic when it seemed about 100 trophies went to the people doing super sprint. Maybe only the winners”

“Great race, no turn indication at end of bike - Great race, but I couldn't tell were to turn at the end of the bike course, before the final turn to go back to transition. Maybe put some cones or a sign. Great medals.”

“Swim is not consistant - I am concerned that the swim portion of this event is not the same each time - I have done the event three times and my times have varied with a two minute swing- worrying”

“Good event, well run - This is a good location for a triathlon and this event was particularly well managed. The swim turned out to be quite long but this I believe was more due to the wind than course set up. Well done to to the organisers!”

“Great course for a race and for practice! - I appreciate all the people and volunteers going out there in an area where there are little facilities and built everything up but around the start it can be a bit more relaxed (that was a bit messy). the course itself is great and the effort to keep it safe for cycling is great too.”

“Good location, easy parking and access - Compared to the 2XU event, this race seemed to be more for the seasoned triathletes, as I was towards the back of the race, it appeared the event was packing up and leaving when I reached the transition from my bike, I was in two minds to run or not... So not very supportive for the slower athletes. I would stick to the 2XU events, more support and a community atmosphere ”

“Great Race - The location was excellent. As this was my first ever triathlon I was bit worried about the swimming in the ocean, however the swim was great due to it being more lake. Timings were out quite quick after the race, which was great. Only negative comment would be that it is a bit pricey. Thank you and well done”

“Great event - Overall a great event it was only the race pack collection glitch and my race tag did not work that stopped it from being perfect. Thoroughly enjoyed the event though and look fwd to next one.”

“Better than last time - What a relief to see those blue Race ME shirts when we got there in the morning and knowing we'd be looked after during the race. Registration was quick and the race went fine. Swim course was a bit longer than 750m but at least there was water on the run this time... still not cold but at least we didn't almost faint from dehydration. Nice to have cold water, choco milk and snacks at the finish! Hope this becomes a standard for the future events in Mamzar because the course is nice.”

“A great location for a tri. - It was quite a small event in terms of numbers and I quite liked it for that. Its a good season opener to get an idea of fitness before the big events in March. The course is nicely self contained and a good layout. I did struggle in the swim getting my bearings. This could be me but I did find in trickier than usual”

“Average comms, good race. - Comms prior to the race were poor. You cannot get away with sending an email out on the day of race pack pick up. Especially when people do not live in Dubai!! The swim felt a little long? Otherwise good job.”

“Very good race - Excellent event. First triathlon, really enjoyed it. Well set out, clear instructions, marshalls etc. Pack collection on the day was fine for me, understand annoyance of people trying to collect pre-race day. Point for improvement: Separate the children's bikes in the transition area, my son and other children were climbing all over each other as they were all put next to each other!!! ”

“Great experience - If I need to mention something, it was annoying to drive from Jebel Ali to Dubai Mall yesterday to collect my start number which turned out not to be there at all (Go Sport). Otherwise no issues”

“Nice friday morning - I made an effort and came to collect my race pack in dubaimall as they asked in the email, but they have no race pack in Go sport shop. Registration fee little bit overpriced. ”

“Great to be back, smooth event - Nice that an apology was given about changes in registration collection. I can't believe people complained when all I did was ask nicely, and I got a relay ASAP. S one events I go to give our instant race times, on a printout, justby topping in your race number on a pad. There was no readily available race time service like that, that I could see. Is there? Thanks guys!!! Nice job!”

“Good but little pricey - Nice race. Packs were supposed to be in the day before but was given on race day, without much issue. Nice organizers and participants. Little pricey.”
