“Brilliant event on Sunday, love the new course and location. Very good call on changing the course from 10 - 5km for the safety of all the athletes out there. I have done Mamzar Triathlon for the last 10 years and never had heat like that before in October. Global warming is real.”

“The way the event was concluded tarnished what was otherwise a well-organized event. At the last moment, they cut the run short due to heat. The weather was as predicted and as it has been for all G+T Tris for many years. Nothing unusual happened to trigger the event being cut short. How it was communicated (or not) meant I only realised when I reached the finish line (with fresh legs). These decisions must be made at the start of the race and/or based on objective criteria. ”

“It was still to early regarding the temperatures in Dubai, something to be considered next year. The distribution of vendor tents wasn't nice. Parking was the worst. Part of the main Parking should have been made available. ”

“Some km markers on the run Make it the first week of November when you know it’s going to be cooler. It’s one of the most popular tri events of the season and it’s at least 2 weeks too early. It was unseasonably hot which is obviously not your fault but even in normal temperatures it’s very hot around 21 October ”

“Great race, great venue. I just didn't give a 10 because I thought that the bike transition area could be better signed with the racer/bib numbers. For example, it was hard for me to find my bike spot during the transitions. I recommend putting more signs per section (showing range of bibs) and/or having helpers indicating or directing to the spots. Other than that the race was great! Congratulations and see you next March!”

“Great well run event - enjoyed it. Very hot day, may be worth considering a later date next year. Question: due to the heat, would it be worth having the Olympic distance set off first as soon as it's light - approx 6:20am? ”

“Exit from t1 not clearly marked. Myself and other athletes went the wrong way. Starting at 6:50 is way too late to do an Olympic distance in this climate. It’s no surprise it had to be cut short ”

“Overall it was a great experience, however, having only water on the run was not ideal due to the conditions. Some electrolyte mixes, etc would have been good. They started letting people into the park while we were still running which meant you had to dodge people coming in. Feedback from my second was that spectators were allowed in and out of transition areas. I needed the paramedic team and they were really good. Well done with some improvements it can be even better. ”

“Terrible idea to hold this event on Oct 20 instead of at least 2 weeks later. The email to participants later said the heat was “unexpected” - what a joke… Cutting the Olympic run was justified but should have been done earlier, not during the run. Unclear signs initially (fixed later) after bike exit from transition led to some people taking the wrong exit from the first roundabout and losing time. Not an event to be proud of. ”

“Well organised and knowledgable staff. The new location and the set up meant there was no atmosphere at all at the finish. There should be music and someone on a mic encouraging and congratulating finishers. As there was no atmosphere or village to enjoy and shop we left early. Thank you for allowing us to take our things from transition.”
