The race is one of the most athlete friendly events I have raced at. My first experience was in 2014, and have been coming back nearly every year since that.
The area is stunning, the bike course is a mix of hills, and fast flat sections and incredibly well signposted and marshalled. The event organisers improve it every year, last year the swim course was changed to 2 shorter loops which worked really well for spectators and swimmers who were nervous about swimming out so far.
