  • Comments: I liked it, however I'll check the weather report before I sign up for this race again. It's hit or miss, last year it was high 60's so it was nice and the race starts at 10am in efforts to allow it to warm up... but not this year!!! it was cold all day.

  • Comments: I was 1 min. and 5 secs. slower than last year (my very first tri). I was hoping to improve the time but w/ the conditions it would be comparing apples to oranges. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied.

  • Comments: This is my first race so don't have anything to compare it to. Over all I think it will serve as a good baseline for future races. I ranked higher then I expected. At the same time I have found areas that I am going to have to focus on in the futre to inprove my race performance.

  • Comments: The race was great and it was good to find out what I need to work on before the Patriots Half. We left early cause I didn't think I was fast enough to place in my age group but later found out that I got second. Can't tell you how mad I am at myself for not sticking around.

  • Comments: I did about what I had expected on the swim, the bike, and the run. The transitions took much longer than I thought they would. The race was well organized and staffed adequately. They did, however, run out of the advertised "all you can eat barbeque" so I didn't get any.

  • Comments: My first race effort. Short-comings in my preparation for it were evident but my mindset going in was just to finish the race and learn from the experience. Now that I have established some times I have marks to improve on the next time out. Event seemed well organized and I had a good time.

  • Comments: For my first race, I suppose I didn't do too bad. I was disappointed in all my times but the weather did play a factor. The bottom line is that I can now say that I'm a triathlete!
