Just having a think about what races to do next season, and I fancied having a go at Blenheim tri as I don't live far away.
I gather it all goes on in the grounds of the palace, I had a look at some videos of the course, it all looked a bit congested for my liking, does anyone have any experience of this event.
Also £65 seems a little steep for a sprint event. I also had a look on the times and the all seem a bit slower than the average sprint times, even the elite race, with hayes only doing a 17min or something 5k, any idea why? is it a hilly course?

The gift shop in the grounds ran out of beer though and had to make do with post event cider (which I wouldn't recommend).
