Gareth and Scott I had a nice time and so did my friends that watched and my 3 friends that did the race as well as me. All very good and well organised just like last year. I think it is very well run and you can actually tell it is run by people that do triathlons themselves because there are quite a few small things that make it easier for people. The Saturday am start is brilliant as we had a great time on the Gower for the rest of the weekend. We'd like to know - who was the singer on the Friday night, he was very good. Thanks Oliver

I just wanted to drop you a line to say how fantastic Saturday was. It was my first Triathlon, made even more special by the fact it was at home in the Gower and my 2 brothers were also taking part. The venue is amazing and the organisation of the event was top rate. I'm not surprised you won event of the year for 2008. I've been bitten by the triathlon bug big time!! See you next year. Kindest Regards Geraint Thomas (no61)

British Triathlon were delighted to award the Rapidgrid Gower Peninsula Triathlon the accolade of being our 2008 Event of the Year. The organisation was excellent and both Scott and Gareth provided athletes with a fantastic racing opportunity in South Wales. I am sure that the experience of holding their first event has provided them with plenty of ideas for next year's race, and they are sure to attract many more athletes from across the country down to Port Eynon in the future.
