“Brilliant event, expertly organised! Huge well done for getting the event done, under the current covid scenario.... can only think how many hoops the organisers had to jump through... but it didn't detract from a great event. Look forward to the next one!”

“Great event, 10/10. Really impressed how the organizers managed to put on such a good event despite the on going regulations. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Only criticism would be I felt bad for the slower finishers as the route became blocked with people collecting bikes, bags etc and got in their way. ”

“Very well organised and run event. My first triathlon and everything worked well. Finding my route from car park to transition in the dark could have been a little smoother and maybe a big board with timings and a map displayed at the event wouldnt have gone a miss but very minor comments on what was a very well run event.”

“Unfortunately the assistants who were there to guide the participants were not having enough information and many times gave wrong information. For the new participants, nobody was there to give proper information, rather many were so arrogant when we ask for the details / support. Need to improve a lot.”

Comment from the Event Organizer - 19.10.2020
“It is the responsibility of the athlete to know the course...NOT the marshals. They are there for your safety only not your personal directions. Had you attended the briefing you would have seen the route and covered the directions to have a successful event as well as had the opportunity to ask any questions. Please please at any event ALWAYS attend the race briefing as this is where important information is communicated to the athletes about any changes to the course and the event.”

“Bike route was a badly designed too many people on a short And narrow course . At some point could not over take the riders ahead because of the density . But thanks for organizing a race to bring us back in to the game .”

“Everything was great and staff were very helpful. This was my first time to do a Super Sprint at the JLL and I didn't realize I had missed the Super Sprint U-turn until I saw the Sprint U-turn. This caused me to run an extra distance and lose time. On my 2nd lap I saw the sign for the Super Sprint U-turn. Maybe for the next event, the sign can be more prominent (or someone actively showing us)? The lady running in front of me also missed it. Thanks,”

“The organization is great, but the course left something to be desired. The four laps of the bike made it really hard to get any momentum. The run course was so narrow and twisty, with 5 180-degree turns, that it made it hard to settle into a pace. Kudos to the team for pulling off a strong event during COVID times.”

“Great event. Very good and professional organization, preparation and communication before and during the event. Was my first TT and was easy to do it with the instructions given. Definitely will come back. Just some improvement points: water in plastic cups for the running is not effective, would be better to have longer courses to avoid many short laps and the counting, more info for beginners regarding the content of the bag and the use of each article.”

Comment from the Event Organizer - 19.10.2020
“Arriving at the event with no knowledge of your Athlete info is not recommended as advised. We got your racing and a place to rack your bike so was all good in the end and we have a lovely photo of you smiling and having fun at the event!”

“Great event as always, superb organisation by RACE ME. Volunteers were excellent! Bike leg had a few pinch points due to numbers out there, frustrated by one or two wannabe 'elites' becoming impatient with slower riders ruining their bid for the Olympics. ”

“Best one yet. You all had so many obstacles to overcome with covid restrictions and you did it so well. Much better signage. Amazingly organised. Lovely volunteers. One thing you have no control over are the aggressive male competitors.... who are dangerous and daunting. One guy was so close to me yesterday when I slowed down his shoulder went into my mid back. He came off. I didn’t. Aggressive cycling. Otherwise. Well Done to you all. Awesome event. Loved it. X ”

“As usual, well organized, however, this time counts different since a new and different strategy and logistic had to be put in place to cope with the challenge imposed by the pandemic situation. Well done guys!”

“Excellent as usual - The start by waves was really good and allows a much perturbed swim. The measures for Covid are well done and implemented. We feel safe. Nevertheless I was wondering if the positions in the transition were not disadvantageous to some competitors. Overall, a nice event which is a performance by itself considering the ongoing restrictions ! Well done”

“I liked the event very much and I’m super happy that it happened this year. Only one thing In my view was a kind of dangerous. The bike course was to narrow and crowded with the number of participants and the different level of riding. Everything else was extremely well organized and handled. Thanks again for a lovely morning with a beautiful community.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed this race but the bike lane was very narrow and the end turn very tight causing a lot of build up before we turned. Saw a few near accidents just waiting to happen, and a lot of drafting because of limited space. Otherwise fantastic day! Well run especially taking into account the current climate. Breakfast was yum! ”

“10/10. To get this race off the ground was a huge task in itself in the current state of Covid that the world is in. Honestly, take a second to understand what must of taken place behind closed doors to get permission to have this race. RaceMe events can hold their heads up high with how the day unfolded from start to finish. Huge thanks to sponsors and volunteers. Jason ”
