Great event, nice and small

A little bit confusing about when I was due to stop swimming... got hit on the head 2 lengths before... but was told was going to have something dunked in front of me.

A wish that the race could start an hour or two later

Great race to get the season started and a super friendly and welcoming club hosting.

Could maybe do with a race photographer?

Brilliantly organised from the very start to finish! Very friendly with constant 'well dones' of support en route ;-)

The Mars Bars and Snicker went down a treat after and a lovely touch to be given a towel as a momento! Thank you. I would love to do this event again.

Relaxed and friendly aquathlon

This was my first aquathlon. Very well organised in the swimming area- race director took time to explain rules and answered any questions. What was confusing was that runners in later waves, coming along the grassy area before reaching the boating lake mingled with runners who were already heading for the finish line as well as runners doing the 10km. The marshals were not active in directing runners to the finish line and consequently myself and others ran another lap of the boating lake. I realise that you did mention one lap around the boating lake for 5km and two for 10km in the brief, however, in the midst of running and the excitement I certainly did not remember the direction. I feel the background colours of the race numbers was not distinct enough- both shades of yellow and a number on front and back may help runners distinguish others doing a different distance. It was my first aquathlon as I have said and it was good experience for me. I realise I made a mistake, however, a slight change to the set up may help newbies like me in the future.
I would like to thank all the volunteers for their help and support as without them this race would not exist.

Great event. Very popular with our Club. A fixture every year.

Would have loved some water on the run. I did the 10k and got very thirsty! Im sure you used to do it so I didn't carry my own,
