In short: Good for an inaugural event, despite horrible weather.
In full: Swim - 800m pool. Standard.
Pool near transition and transition near mount-up, so no time wasted running with the bike.
Bike - quite a slow, technical course - had a lot of U-turns, tight corners and a steep hill that demanded caution (in wet slippery weather) on the way down and the granny gear on the way back up.
Run - nowhere near 10K, probably just a bit over 5M, but fast and flat.
The marshals could have spoken more loudly and the road to the race could have been better signed, but other than that, very good. Nice expo, no queues for numbers/toilets, decent prizes for 1st 3 M/F as well.
