Comments: This is a grueling course. With the Bike and Run it is close to 9,000 feet of combined climbing. The roads are brutal, there were maybe 20 people cheering us on in one single section, the course is open to traffic, it's a very No Frills - low budget event; And that's why I like it. This course is hard, makes no apologies for it, and it makes you a stronger better triathlete for it. I did this Race because I needed a Reality Check. I needed the ass whooping. This is not a flat Sprint on smooth closed roads; there is no one cheering you on - you have to motivate yourself. It's a long hard day and it's well-earned MONEY IN THE BACK for me toward Lake Placid.
