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)

Hi Guy's, Just to say well done for such a well organized and heavily marshaled event. It's the best I have done so far, I have done a few. The week-end was fantastic, you could not have asked for better weather. I did the event with my husband and a few mates, as well as friends who came to support, my boy Duke(K9) came too so that was extra special. He joins me on the run for last 200m on some of the smaller Tri’s near home (Berkshire). So he's well known, he, he. I'm hoping to get more of a bigger party to join next years Tri! I will also be in more serious training to enter Australia Full Ironman, or Monaco Half Ironman, along with a few who have done an Ironman before. Scary!!! Any tips? Anyhow, look forward to next years entry, and good luck to you both, I hope you win more awards. Shelley Archer.

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.
