Race Reports for Keuka Lake Triathlon

Race rating (4)

Comments: This race has a younger, more dedicated group of competitors then the races later in the summer. (57% of the women were under 40!). It's early in the season, and everyone knows the water will be cold. It isn't their only race of the year, just their first. It's no surprise that my percentile rankings were a bit lower than at last year's CLT. I'm very happy, though, with my total time, which was almost a minute faster than my most optimistic goal. All the gizmo failures changed the experience considerably: it was possibly a little less high-performance but more enjoyable. I should consider doing this deliberately once a year. Note: this event has the best post-race food anywhere. It's in the college dining hall; the food is plentiful, fresh, varied, & delicious!

Comments: I did the aquabike due to a winter knee issue. Besides the cold water, the swim was great as was transition and the bike route. I think they could have made it a little clearer as to what the aqua-bikers were supposed to do after the ride part. If my knee behaves I would love to do the full sprint or the intermediate some time. Staying on campus was very nice, although the rooms are very rough. My two main complaints about this event are 1) only two people knew what was going on (the Score-this announcer and the person in charge of medical). All the volunteers (and I mean all) and the remainder of the Score this staff were completely clueless as to what was going on and were worthless as far as answering questions. Yes, they had people around but it would really be nice if Score-this staff and volunteers knew something. Please update your wave schedule and the info you sent out before the race. None of it was even close to being accurate. While I understand there might be last minute changes,
