In short: Fun in the mud!
In full: Done quite a few road tri's and thought it was time to give off-road a tri.
As a novice MTBer I was a little nervous about whether the course might be too challenging for me. Heavy rain the day before made it was made a little more challenging than it might otherwise have been. Mix of single track, grass and a short stretch on tarmac. No jumps or drop offs as such, quite a few ditches to negotiate, some interesting bridges and a lot of slithery mud. Course was well marked and the speedy folk were very considerate and encouraging to those less talented when passing.
Lake swim and undulating trail run were both well marshalled.
Left me wanting to improve my mountain biking skills so I can ride it better next time.
