  • Comments: This is a race I can highly recommend to anybody looking for a good solid challenge. If I get through Busselton Ironman in December I am considering trying the full at Bintan in 2015. Overall it probably wasn't the most sensible choice for my second triathlon and first half but I got through and had a great time. Going in I was under the impression that it was a pretty flat cruisey course but I'm happy it wasn't. The difficulty made it much more satisfying to finish.

  • Comments: The race was very well organised with plenty of helpers and the bike mechanics were great. I would enter this race again in future. There were lots of activities for after the race but I didn't attend any as I wanted to spend time with my husband.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: I give the race itself a great rating because the organisation, crowds, location were all superb. The course is beautiful and when you live in Singapore it's easy to take Bintan for granted (its less than an hour away by ferry) but the place is very picturesque. The screaming cheering crowds in every village and by every school on the bike run are both humbling and uplifting. My own conditioning not being up to it in the manner I'd have preferred is not worthy of marking the race down, it's a great course! I can't express how much the support all round the course meant, and how enjoyable it made it even though it hurt!

  • Comments: Great first effort from the Metasport gang. Small field made the whole experience very pleasent. a larger field would have its charms too but there was nothing wrong with a small crowd. I'll definitely be back again. This is destined to be a red-letter event on the regional calendar I think.
