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.

Hi there, I would like to send some feedback for the Gower tri this year... What a fantastic time I had! It was a wonderful experience as my first sea swim tri. The marshals were wonderful and encouraging at every corner, the race was thoughrouly thought out and well managed, and I bet you all had a little giggle when you were setting out the middle part of the run with the zig zags going up and down tiny hills, just to finish our legs off good and proper ("that'll sort the mice out from the men"!!!). I certainly hope you do win the award again, I would vote Gower tri no1 race of my season. Thanks Melanie Stone

Gareth/Scott, Well done for organising such a great event on the weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the triathlon, my son enjoyed taking part in the children's races and showed off the trophy he received for taking part and the main challenge was a success - my wife stayed a night in a tent. All went to plan, great weekend, great weather and I am looking forward to doing it all again next year. I must say it was such a friendly atmosphere, other competitors having a good time on the beach after the event and later on the in the day, all the marshals did a great job and it all lead to me now officially naming this as my favorite triathlon in the UK. Thank you to you both and keep up the good work. James Davies Competitor 81 Celtic Tri Ps. any tips for running quicker when I get off the bike Regards James Davies
