£25.00 entry and no banannas,no medal, no tee-shirt. Even the water was'nt bottled but from an 'ole bucket! Did recieve a small bag of protein powder though,so should'nt complain huh?!

In short: Always challenging given the geography and never-the-same weather conditions. Anybody even remotely into motorsport will get a buzz from charging down the home straight and crossing the F1 finishing line.

In short: Racing on Porsche and Formula 1 territory definitely special
In full: Loved it. OK, the promise to keep away the wind didn't quite hold true. But racing around Silverstone with ominous dark clouds and the occasional flash of lightning was great. Running around the Porsche test track also good fun - and definitely rather undulating and challenging. Great atmosphere, good mix of people and smooth organisation. Votwo have done it again...

In short: First ever event using two wheels.
In full: Having only recently learned to ride a bike, this was my introduction to multi-sport races. Really good organisation some real speed merchants at the front. My experience would have been better but for a slight bike accident but that's the problem of being a novice.

In short: Great organisation, very enjoyable
In full: Fast flat 2k runs with twisty cycle course. Loads of speed up at the front of the race and hopefully I didn't get in the way too much. Really enjoyed my first duathlon experience and will be back in September to better my time.
