Hi all, just recently completed my first open water Sprint at Blenheim Palace in the UK. Absolutely amazing experience and am completely hooked. Nothing particular to ask at this moment in time, although just bought a Felt 65 racer which was recommended to me by a friend - anyone out there got one?

Welcome! Congrats on the first race! Nope, don't have the bike, going to be riding a Specialized hybrid for my first race. How was the race?

The race was unbelievable as was the setting, 4,500 competitors over the weekend. The swim wasn't too bad although I should have stayed near the back to start as having faster swimmers over the top of you is a wierd experience. T1 worked well and bar the killer hill at the start of the bike it was fine, the run was tough enough but I was expecting that - all I can say is that crossing the line was the best buzz and all the training paid off. When do you race?
