Really good event, a little cramped in transition though.

I think you need a big board to talk through the swim and bike route in the brief, as I was a little more confused after the briefing then I was before.

Original pack sent out seemed to indicate that the bike did a small additional loop, but that wasn't the case.

But everyone was lovely, and a really nice event.

It hasn't been possible to see the results as the it appears the Adult results site is not working properly.

Aside from that, it's a very good event.

The only negative point I would suggest would be the registration process. there were long queues even though I did have enough time to get ready and was on-time for the start, for some they had to rush to get ready. Hopefully this can be improved next year. P.S. the individuals managing the registration process were happy and very friendly. :-)

Thanks for a great day.

Want some bling though!

Just one suggestion - For the run drinks, maybe also have them on a table to take rather than only given by hand?

It would have been good to buy a tea or coffee.

No 10th anniversary medal as promised in the advert.

Swim (1400m) and Run (9.6km) came up a bit short for me but that's fine with the 42k bike.
Bike leg was fast stretches with 2 dead turns to negotiate, no hills (nothing over 2%) but it's undulating rather than flat. So nice to have closed roads though.
You wouldn't believe there could be a lake that lovely so close to the Dartford crossings!

May be an idea next year to split the wave into male and female for the sprint rather than just randomly.
More food was needed at the finish line.
Perhaps a tea van next year - there were plenty of people milling around after the event so would have been worth the investment. Thanks for a great day.

Disappointed there was not a single place to get a drink, cup of tea, food afterwards. Especially as some of us had been there since 5.30am. Not ideal for spectators either.
The aquabike finished in T2 as opposed to a short run to the finish line where we could of handed in our chip and received a drink at the finish instead.
The refreshments was a big let down as it would be difficult to recommend others to come and watch .
Aside from this I throughly enjoyed the aqua bike. Course was well marshalled and easy to follow. Registration simple. Enough toilets and no ridiculous queues as races were staggered.
Nice swim start numbers and not too over crowded.
I did witness some big packs cycling together on the bike and no drafting Marshall’s. Although it was a narrow course and a lot of cyclists .

Congratulations on the 10th anniversary!

please ensure there is a tea/coffee stand for afterwards!

John does a lot for the local multi-sport community and does it with huge amounts of enthusiasm. The sheer logistics involved in a day like this is immense so the fact that the day happens at all is amazing. I love the sheer flexibility of all the different variations of events laid on, and the fact that there are various children's races shouldn't be overlooked - that is rare and brilliant. The support and marshalling is fab too.
