In short: Another great event
In full: I have done this race for the last 3 years, and always thoroughly enjoy the race format on the track. Fantastic that the organisers worked hard to ensure the race went ahead despite the terrible weather the week before. The only downside for me was due to the races being closer this year, the track seemed a lot more congested this year, and felt things were a bit precarious at some points.

In short: Decent Event - Woeful organisation
In full: A good venue for the event and I thoroughly enjoyed competing. However, I would say that in 30+ years of competitive running I have never come across organisation as poor as this. Would I do it again? Yes I would, but the poor instructions and extreme rudeness of one of the marshalls in the transition area leaves quite a bit if room for improvement. Plus I hear that some of the back markers did not get medals because the organisers had run out. 6 out of 10 - Room for improvement
