After the event completed, 'James' Ruangsak Loychusak reflected his feelings that "It was a great race, this is my first time visiting Thanyapura for official triathlon competition. The hardest thing of today’s race was the bike course. I can say there were many rolling hills. On top of that, I am not familiar with the route which makes the race more interesting. I had to spent a lot of time in the bike course. Many of the competing athletes came from different countries what gives the event a very international touch. The race was set in a great atmosphere with a high safety standard from the organizers and staff.”
