  • Comments: Another great Pumpkinman! This race is a great locally-run, locally-scaled event ... down-home feel is much more laid back than the giant machine that is Ironman events. Only gripe this year would be they still don't have mile markers on the sprint run (or bike for that matter).

  • Comments: Completely awesome weekend. I did the Sprint and my wife did the 1/2 Iron. The race organizers and volunteers did an amazing job. The venue was beautiful and the weather was perfect. Some of the things that made this race stand apart: - While watching T1 one of the volunteers was hovering around one of the bikes. As the athlete approached the volunteer mentioned that during the swim they here a tire pop in the transition area. They felt all the tires, found the culprit, took the wheel to the on-site bike support (Papa-Wheelies) and they fixed the flat and got the wheel back on the bike - all before this guy made it out of the water! Now that's service! - My wife is usually in one of the last waves to start the day, and usually by the time she gets to the run, most of the aid stations have run out of gel, or water, or sports drink - or all 3. Not at this race. Up until the very last runner the aid stations on the run were fully stocked.

  • Comments: The swim waves are totally messed up. People need to make sure and comment to the race director on this. It's just unsafe.

  • Comments: This was the first Pumpkin Man Triathlon here in New England, and I know there will be more - the outfit and sponsors did a great job. I would say next time that one of the vendors should remember not to forget the racebelts because EVERYONE wished they had them. AND I was disappointed that they didn't have medals for the finish line! For the registration I paid , I expected a medal :( boo hoo. But other wise, well done guys.
