Other things to say about the event
- incredibly well organised, good info sent out, cheap - think I paid around ยฃ60, beautiful island.
- event staged in the north (Ramsey). Swim superb for those worried as you can actually stand up in the sea water lake ( 2.5 laps ) Bike course amazing ( 2 loops) 2 significant climbs but very manageable on a TT bike, Run around Ramsey along the promenade, so very scenic by the sea. Good food stations, very lovely Marshallโs. Nice medal & excellent t shirt. Relatively small field, only 60 competitors & only 2 from mainland - hope that helps your report. Headline
