Dear Gareth and Scott, My training mates who did the Gower Tri last year came back so full of what a great day it had been, that they encouraged my sufficiently to enter. Whilst it is probably the slowest and un-fittest Tri I have done (following an injury a quarter of the way through the Dragon Ride which put a spanner in the works for 6 weeks running up to the Gower Tri), I would however stick my neck out and say it is probably THE most enjoyable and 'special' Tri I have ever done. From the organisation, to the people competing and contributing and watching and commentating over the loudspeaker, to the setting.... my word..... As I waited for the 30 sec hooter to start us off, I looked around me at what a beautiful world we are privileged to share and live in and I thanked God from the bottom of my adrenalin filled heart. Thank you. Christian.

Thanks for your efforts the whole experience was tremendous Port Eynon tri has been goal for me for years ever since we spent holidays there now I have the whole experience was just tremendous your advertising and selling of the day helped as a good crowd was there to support and they could have been thanked also for their support which out a smile on my face on every corner You made the best of a very tight circuit and it is difficult to improve on anything and no doubt spent hours on I hope to be updated when the next date is published with the hope that I can come back to improve my times Sorry for the elongated reply but the only problem you will now have is coping with the demand 10/10.

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.
