USN Eton Dorney Evening Triathlon 750m/ 20K/ 5K by Adam Ginty

In short: Newbie friendly, flat/fast course.
In full: Despite the rainy & cold weather, an enjoyable evening. Great for a newbie like myself new to open water swimming and in dire need of some leg strength. Helpful organisers and clear race pack. There were some people moaning about the car park, but it states in the pack that cars will be let out of the car park once the cycle route is clear. My only suggestion would be to maybe to let cars out through a coned off section (H&S permitting)for the people in the first heat to get away if they so wish.

In short: Really tough run course and technical bike course. Great day out. Back next year to win the team of 5!
In full: First time I've ridden a bike in years so that was fun! Did this as a team of five and had a great day out. The event was well organised and the atmosphere was great. The course was really tough on both the run and the bike. Great day out with a festival atmosphere. Hope to be back next year.

In short: Epic Events organise, that gives you a clu
In full: Thought I would have a go at this distance between sprint and Olympic, pool based swim but the the cycle route is relentless, a tough 40km ride. The 9 km run is up, a steep climb, to Rivington Tower, great views but a hard slog. Well worth the money but not sure its for first timers.

In short: Good intro to duathlon
In full: Freezing morning on the seafront but course is pancake flat which is a brilliant plus point .... I managed to beat my Parkrun 5k PB by almost 2 mins (in second leg as well!)
Hope the race gets bigger as it was a bit lonely, especially swerving around the general public in the second run. Glad I'd done the Santa Run before so knew the course as some people struggled with the route,
Was a bit disappointed the medal wasn't as good as others (Santa Run and Ghost Race) but have happily spent my shoes voucher at Alexandra Sports so thanks for that one!
Overall a good event and would def give another one a go. Thanks to all the marshals as you must have been freeeeeezing!

Marlow Duathlon by CStar

In short: Comfortably Numb
In full: As others have said, a challenge in the wet. Lots of mud. Trail shoes essential. Bike stage like being in a car wash and lots of punctures in the woods 3km from the end.
Congrats to all who braved the elements to take part, particularly the marshalls who must have been freezing.

In short: A challenge in the rain, but I'll be back!
In full: My first Duathlon and really enjoyed it despite the mud, rain and cold meaning that difficult to really push the pace on much of either the run or cycle. Full marks for organisation and many thanks to all the marshals who stuck it out there and remained cheerful!

In short: What a race!!
In full: The very low temperatures coupled with the rain/sleet and wind made the bike course a challenge. The hills were fine, enjoyable and testing but fine except for the windchill and numb hands! The second run was really enjoyable - I'm a runner not a cyclist!

In short: Do this race!
In full: I have only previously participated in running events and have been hankering for a while to do a duathlon. I don't have a road bike however and if I am honest my mountain bike only gets dusted off when i go out with the kids. When i saw this event advertised i knew that there could be no more excuses and signed up and i am so glad i did. It was bitterly cold with snow flurries but the atmosphere was positive and the organisation spot on. The run route was varied and tricky, the ride had the right balance of fast and flowing and steep and technical (fiddly). Will certainly be signing up again and will probably sign up to do another duathlon.

IceMan Duathlon and Trail Run (Off Road Race Series) 10/18/5 by woody 40

In short: plenty of ice, mud, water, snow, and hills yes hills.
In full: a fantastically challenging coarse, all the right ingredients ice, mud, water, snow, and hills which made for a very challenging end to the race, unless it was just my lack of recent hill training and a hip injury.
the support and the organization was great although the parking was poorly thought out. still an enjoyable day.

In short: Muddy, cold, fun and friendly
In full: The mud made last year's event seem like a walk in the park! Really great fun, just bring a massive coat and some clean shoes and socks for after. A hot bath never felt so good!
Although tough fitness wise, the cycling isn't that technical so it's a great off-road duathlon for a novice (like me!)

In short: If you like racing through pure bogs, then this ones for you!
In full: Raced here yesterday, and it was tougher than i expected. The first 2.5mile run was fine, then cam the 7.5mile bike through deep mud and sludge which made it interesting and enjoyably tough, then a 4.5 mile run through said sludge! Great fun but make sure you bring a change of clothes!
