"I want to thank you for putting on an excellent event once again this year – the organisation was brilliant and registration very smooth... The photos is an excellent idea. Much happier to get some pictures rather than a t shirt – well done and very innovative." Stuart Lotherington

"Many thanks to all involved with running the event it was well organised and marshaled. The swimming is well run and ducking under might be a bit of a nuisance but is much better then having to share a lane with some swimmers I have seen. Main thing is it keeps things to time so I think it works very well.
Liked the free photo option and of course the handsome paperweight. Only complaint is my performance but guess that is something I cannot blame anyone for except myself. Thanks again and see you next year." Michael Miller and Sue Brumwell

Hi Folks,
I just wanted to say what a good job you all did on Sunday. I really enjoyed the event, and that was mainly down to how well it was organised. The plaque has pride of place in my living room, and I did have to eventually admit to my girlfriend that in fact everyone received one and not just the winner..." Paul Williams

"Hi, firstly just wanted to thank you for putting on a great event - the marshalls were very helpful and encouraging, and the course was a blast - especially the bike route - really enjoyed that..." Rob

"Dear Mid Sussex Tri
Thanks for a great event today, thoroughly enjoyed it, especially as I improved form 1.36 2 years ago to around 1.17 - I will know exactly what when I see the results!
Cheers and thanks again to all your marshalls Jenni

"I just wanted to thank you again for letting me into yesterday's tri as a late entrant. It's all still pretty new to me - yours was the 2nd one that I've competed in - and it was a really enjoyable day, really well organised, with a great support team, and a great course!! Best of luck to you and the club for the rest of the season. Btw: I hope that you enjoyed the Jaffa Cakes:-)" Matt

"HI,
This was the first year of competing and only my third race and absolutely loved it! The swim was 'different' with the zig-zagging and true to the rumours the bike course was very undulating! The run did feel like it went on and on, especially the last bend in to the Triangle as the marshall said 90 seconds to go - I think he was lying!! However to cross the line with so many of my fellow triathlon club members was great! A well planned and organised event with plenty of encouragement from all the marshalls - a BIG thanks to them. Also a bonus to get all our piccies from Ant Bliss FREE! Well done and look forward to seeing you next year!" Tiffany Orton - 156

Well organised/ marshalled as usual and the run course much better than last time I did the event in 2007. There were a lot of people with VERY inaccurate swim times who then aggressively overtook in the pool . Perhaps you could emphasize the importance of an accurate time to avoid this happening. Some of the poorer/ early swimmer looked very panicked at people swimming over them and kicking /pushing past. Perhaps some "pool etiquette" for overtaking could be sent out? Sue Hudson

Hi, thanks for putting on a great event, all of the marshalls were really helpful and friendly and the roads were immaculately swept. Your arrangements for the weather were also fantastic and I look forward to next years event. The only down side was that I finished second in may age group and never made it to the presentation as it really wasn't expected, this being a first for me. Haydn

"Had a great day – well done. Would it be possible to split out the T1 and T2 times?" Peter

"Hi all at mid sussex tri club, just to let you know the event was very well run i will be back next year .see you soon" Steven Ingham East grinstead tri club

"Overall I thought it was a well organised and fantastic event. Particular postives included:
1. Great supportive and cheery marshalls, it really does make a difference to have the marshals clap and cheer you on.
2. Well sign-posted and clear bike route.
3. Great deal with Ant Bliss on the photographs.
4. Simple and quick registration.
The only negatives I have are:
1. Lack of splits for all disciplines including transitions.
2. Slightly chaotic start to the swim with people swimming out of time sync. I got held up in the pool through traffic. Think it would be good to have someone poolside asking/checking predicted swim times and ensuring that they go off in the correct order/wave. I had someone start a few places ahead of me whose time was around 10 minutes yet I'm capable of sub 6 minutes.
Overall, a great event and I will be back next year so well done Mid Sussex Tri Club!" Damon Turner (Tuff Fitty Tri Club)

"Hi
Wow! Cool; thanks. I’ve not had a prize for sports since I was about 18! I had a really good morning. You were right; all the marshals and other competitors were really helpful and pointed me in the right direction. And, the set up seemed to run like clockwork. Very smooth and efficiently managed. Well done you. I learned a few lessons (like, bring a spare old t-shirt and a pair of flip flops…) and not to gun off on the bike as the run is tough! Thanks for looking after us all so well. You guys did a super job. Look forward to seeing you next year" Jenn

I loved the race. Agree that the swim was a bit of a traffic jam but I quite like the zig-zag swim. Must remember to bring a swim hat next time. I'm so used to being handed one at races and I've never noticed how difficult it is to swim with a face full of hair! The race was well organised and marshalled. Superb weather. Nice to touch to give all competitors a glass trophy - makes me feel like a winner! Great to have free photos - would be even better if they offered an airbrushing service to make me look more athletic!

I just wanted to say that I thought this event was fantastic. The organisation was really good and the marshals were excellent especially on the bike ride where they seemed to be everywhere! The venue was very good with lots of parking and excellent facilities. I sometimes think that triathlons are rather expensive but after your event I felt happy at the price because I could see that it must cost a lot to organise." Claire Brooks
