Another great race by Bustinskins

Tough call to cancel the bike but totally the right decision, well done to the race ref and organisers to make the difficult decision. The run course was really nice, great mix of road and track with enough changes in terrain and gradient to keep it interesting.

Inclusive

Great event. Most impressed with the volume and enthusiasm of the race marshalls….although scuppered any plans I had to cut some corners

Great event inclusive to all levels of triathletes, friendly marshalls

Disappointing that bike leg cancelled but was the right decision on the day

All good fun.

Get a waiver, get people to sign it if they wish to cycle. Then when the cycling gets tricky people can still do the full event and Bustinskin won’t be liable for any injuries

The event ran smoothly even with last minute changes.

I’d prefer an email detailing all the timings and order for the event, but generally Good communications. The bike was cancelled due in poor weather but another bustinskin event that ran smoothly. Definitely doing it again.

Nice

Storm Ashley came and buggered the bike leg, everyone who braved the day cracked on regardless to enjoy a wet swim run.
Brilliant volunteers

Great for beginners but also a good early season check for some of the top boys/girls.

I relearnt loads and very much appreciated having a local platform to take part in.

Great event for beginners and seasoned triathletes

Very supportive and well organised event with friendly staff and a great Marshall presence. Have done these events before and feel the quality of the organisation is very high.

Great experience

This event was perfectly organised and had such a friendly feel through the whole day. The volunteers and marshalls were all fantastic, despite the weather, and made the event so much easier.

Only constructive feedback would be around the race start times posted. The last wave swimmers started 30 minutes behind schedule. It wasn't much of a problem, and the reason was because of the gaps given to each swimmer, which was of benefit to everyone.

Excellent event, superbly organised.

Mark and his team know how to put on a really enjoyable event. Great fun, with excellent comms before and on the day. Special mention for the excellent marshals and volunteers, who were very encouraging and helpful throughout. Thanks Bustinskins!

Brilliant

As a first time triathlon attendee I had every email and Facebook post answered very quickly leading up to the event. On the day Mark was great, every marshal and other competitors were amazing so encouraging and made me feel at ease - everyone was so great! Fantastic event, brilliantly organised, fab group of people!
Only suggestion is maybe introduce some sort of forum, question time prior for newbies who haven’t a clue to save you answering the questions individually ☺️

What a fab day!

I thoroughly enjoyed the day. The organisation was brilliant . I seamlessly budged up the order when I got my swim times wrong and thankfully didn't hold anyone up. Bike was tough for me. Loved being beaten by the elite and kids on the junior parkrun. But my biggest hat must come off to all the amazing marshals throughout the entire course. Absolutely brilliant, thank you all!
