Emma Done - What fantastic event, Ultimate Triathlon.

I can't thank everyone at UK Triathlon enough for their outstanding efforts to host the triathlon under Covid rulings. Your outstanding efforts were gratefully received so that we could all feel safe enough to race.

As usual, everything was in place, fantastic registration, lake swim (weed free), transition areas, feed station, bike course, run course around the beautiful lake, not to mention the energetic encouragement from all the Marshals.

This event caters for all abilities. I completed my first and second, full distance triathlon. I will be back again next year for a course PB. Not to mention value for money.

Thanks to all the team for hosting the event in these restricted time that we find ourselves in.

Sidney Wimpolestreet - This is a highly organised, sophisticated and resourceful outfit.

Given the massive hurdles that they have overcome at short notice, continuously and decisively this Covid year, last year, every year, everywhere, I cannot conceive of a more worthy investment of your time, effort and money. If you are seriously going to aspire to do this do it with team that want you to succeed !

Be well well met by the best in the business or take a chance elsewhere.

Having completed the Ultimate Half last year as my first half Iron distance event, I was so pleased to return this year to complete the Ultimate Full. Very well organised event with fantastic Marshalls and officials. Very relaxed and welcoming feel to the whole event and my family of supporters loved how easy it was to see me and cheers me on. Would highly recommend to any triathlete.
