A well organised and marshalled event, great for a beginner like me

As a newbie I was well supported by all the marshals

Super friendly!

I just wanted to comment on how absolutely fantastic your marshals were. Really proactive, supportive and cheerful. Thank you!

A challenging but achievable course with a fun supportive atmosphere

I am not an experienced triathlete and I found I was provided with plenty of information ahead of the event and on the day. The transitions marshalls were very helpful in explaining how to setup my bike and how the route worked. All the marshalls were friendly and supportive. It was a cold, damp day so I want to say a massive thank you to them all for sticking it out with a smile!

Excellent event in every area.

With less than perfect conditions, Mark nailed a top notch briefing with blips on the bike course clearly explained. Fantastic marshals. Every detail, spot on right down to the quality of stickers and numbers. Highly recommended.

Fantastic event with a supportive atmosphere that was very well organised

Only constructive feedback I can think of would be to have an idiots guide or a contact for newbies. However as a newbie I was well looked after and all questions answered :) thank you!

A friendly, well organised event.

I was so impressed with the whole event, especially the main man Mark who was reassuring, supportive and had a great sense of humour. That’s the best race briefing I’ve ever been to! All the Marshalls were brilliant and even though I was officially the SEN participant on the day (!) it didn’t matter. I felt valued and included as a competitor. I have never completed a Tri with you guys before but am definitely tempted to come back next year but with a bit more training under my belt.
Well done and thank you!

The support staff made it a great sprint triathlon.

Such a Scenically beautiful Sprint, triathlon glad I drove the bike course beforehand to recce the route and also to take in the stunning countryside and views. The support staff were just a stunning with all their encouragement along with must what must have been many cold feet and hands so a big thank you to all involved. Can’t wait for the next Dorchester sprint tri.

Very good event and well organised. Swim started abit later than planned but to be expected when rolling swim times and variety of swim capabilities, bike course was good and technical, well marshalled just like the run, also bling medal

A lovely, friendly event

I had a wonderful time today, as someone relatively new to triathlon, this event was perfect. Welcoming, friendly and encouraging. The bike ride was sooo tough but I feel a huge sense of achievement. Thank you to all the marshals they were fab.
