The swim was exciting. Each wave starts at 4 min intervals and the size of the group isn't too big, and it also allows you to catch some of the group in front and I even managed a few from the one before that. Its 60% upstream and 40% back down. Sighting is OK and the water didn't taste too bad.
The bike ride is a great course, but for me it was too busy and I was continuously drafted by people who were lacking in ability and making it up anyway they could.
The run is good, with just the one hill up to the castle, then straight back down. There are 3 laps, which makes it very interesting as there aren't any long straight boring bits. There were a fair few crowds around, so good support.
But don't let me put you off running is my weakest discipline

It'll be my fourth year of doing Windsor - its a great race with lots of support from the crowds (but expensive!)
Hope all racing Windsor have a good one.

ive just sent the organisers an email to check my entry as i sent my form in few weeks back and had reply saying that windsor closes tomorrow!!
I've been tracking the website but hadn't seen any update. I'm doing St. Albans the week before and i'll probably do Dorney as a replacement now.
Gutted though as i'd heard Windsor was a great race. Hope you got in and good luck if you did.
