The swimmer completes the swim, then the swimmer passes the electronic chip to the cyclist inside the cycle transition area.

The cyclist completes the cycle course and passes the electronic chip to the runner in the transition area.

The runner completes the run and hands in the electronic chip at the finish line.

All team members can cross the finish line together and collect their medals.

I just wanted to say, what an event you guys put on! I really can't thank all the marshals and helpers enough for making the UK Ultimate the event the highlight of my triathlon career so far. The helpfulness and sheer enthusiasm of each and every person, who stood for hours in the hot sun handing out drinks and directing traffic really helped me to complete my first Iron distance event. I can still hear the cheers and shouts of encouragement now! If anyone deserves a medal, it's these guys. I really can't thank you all for an incredible event and I'll be back for certain! Cheers,

Excellent organised event, feed stations were manned by brilliant marshals who were happy to chat and offer encouragement and I will be back next year

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone involved in the Ultimate last weekend. Everyone I came across that was involved with the day taking place were amazing. A special mention must go to those that were at the bike aid station half way around the lap, who once they were finished there, continued marshalling on the run route for the rest of the day. They had a longer day out there than I did.

I would like to thank all the support staff for running the Ultimate Iron Man in Shropshire yesterday. It was the best event I have ever taken part in by a long way and although I could not complete the course I am glad I was fortunate enough to meet such nice people and take part in such a great event.  Keep up the brilliant work and I hope to see you again one day.  All the best.  Lester
