“Fun and friendly triathlon season warm up! - Few glitches, but resolved quickly and everyone kept informed. Great support and an easy compact course. Discipline on the bike leg needs to be controlled better but otherwise great fun.”

“Overall satisfactory - Great event for a first timer. Wadi adventure is a great spot of such events. Thanks to the organisers and volunteers. Had lots of fun participating and will definitely do it again. Nothing big but just a point to note for the next event - brief your crew well and have the race packs ready to give away in a systematic way. There seemed to a bit of confusion with too many people behind the desk. Thanks again”

“Thanks Guy, Acknowledge we had some issues with the timing and chip distribution. Would love to come back to Al Ain if we can find a sponsor. It is still the cheapest opportunity for people to do a triathlon in the UAE”

“Great event for beginners - Post race breakfast very disappointing. Still awaiting race results after a few days. With the cost of entry, one would expect a race t-shirt”

“Hi Hardie, Thanks for the feedback. We sent out an email on Saturday morning and posted results across our social media channels with links to the results. This event is the cheapest 'triathlon' in the UAE at a beautiful closed road environment. here is the link http://my4.raceresult.com/62389/results?lang=en#0_96CAA9”

“Great Start for the season. - First Please fix my name on the result page (Bib 290 Natheer Khasawneh from Jordan) The event was well organized, I enjoyed the swimming, cycling, and the running (even it was on the sand). I was expecting more from Wadi adventures for the supporters, I am not talking about the breakfast, but at least they should have given access post race for at least one hour. Buffet breakfast was a nice touch from the organizer. Support stations and marshals were everywhere. Thanks”

“Good Fun event, perfect for those beginnig Tri's - Really good event, lots of fun, decent course! Marshalling and communication was good, slight delay registering at the start and collecting the timing chips - just a little bit more communication at the registration needed to get everything at the same time. Other than that, thoroughly enjoyed the event, and would recommend it to anyone wanting to try Triathlon for the first time! Defiantly come back again!”

“Good to be back at Wadi Adventure - Great event and fantastic location, really nice to see so many young kids taking part. Only point - need a visible mount and dismount line on the floor, just some tape would do. Thanks to the organisers and all the fantastic volunteers, see you at the next one!”

“A nice, friendly, club organised event - Supportive atmosphere for first time tri-ers like me. I like the bike loops- always lots of other riders around. The sandy-run was a nice touch- more interesting than tarmac. Wadi Adventure facilities weren't so great- no loo paper, soap, broken showers. And come on, give supporters entry into the water park too! ”

“Great for a beginner - This was a great starter Tri. It was my first one and I will a lot apprehensive about the transitions and how a tri flowed. This was a great way to start. The event was small and well labeled. Overall I would definitely do it again. The only criticism was that the organization was a little chaotic at this event pack collection. ”

“Seemed disorganised - Plus the breakfast was awful.”

Comment from the Event Organizer - 08.10.2016
“Thanks for the feedback appreciate today may have not been world class standard. Not sure we were that disorganised given no one drowned, no one fell off the bike and no one got lost in the desert run and everyone seemed to have a broad smile on the face crossing the finish line. YEP we had issues with the chips distribution and started a little late which we will work on for future events. cheers ”

“Great event, well organised! - Great to be back racing at wadi adventure again. Good organisation! Route was clear and easy to follow. Volunteers were happy and helping to navigate. Just be clear how many times the cyclist should go round on the event brochure before the race, I think some people were unsure. Can't wait to do another race here! Thanks for organising! :) ”

“Poor organization with very little staff - Very disappointed with this event- not enough staff, poor organization and very little value for money. I hope that this event and the people who organized it will endeavor to improve their events 200% over.”

“HI Russell, Really appreciate your feedback and happy to discuss in greater depth where you believe we fell short on staffing with 8 water safety personnel, 4 in transition, bike on bike off, 6 on course bike marshals, 8 on the run course and 4 on the finish line. An event guide that was mailed out that clearly set out the course. Where we fell short was on the timing service at the start with a computer and power glitch. Underway a few minutes late, results posted by 11am http://my4.raceresult.com/62389/results?lang=en#0_96CAA9”
