great community of tri-athletes, lots of training events to get involved with and inexpensive membership. Swimming in the Solent over the summer months is excellent training too.

Negatives....Tarpaulin used to run up a very pebblely beach...Sufficient??....not really. Very hard on the feet. Long wait to enter the water. Role call and a queue to be 'checked off' before you enter the water. Health & Safety im guessing. Never had that one before. Long run to transition from swim. Glass on the part of the path on the transition run by the ramparts. Expect transitions times around 4 mins. Half asleep marshall at the run turn....Very crowded pavements at entry/exit points of run/bike. But this is Southsea in the summer. Far too expensive at 50 and a booking fee.. Positives.... Lovely sunny day. Good atmosphere. Marshalls do a pretty good job. Sea swim good. Dead calm on this occassion. Closed roads for the bike. Flat and fast. The run is fast and flat with a couple of inclines. Had to dodge pedestrians at the beginning of the run but other than that pretty good. Other than the points mentioned above the course routes are very good. Would i race again??....Maybe..... triathlon entry fees are now becoming far too expensive. At 50 i will be selecting next years races abit more carefully.
Great event
