  • Comments: Race was delayed to due to unsafe fog on lake ..but was well handled by RD.Plenty of volunteers/stations well stocked..Venue is a bit off the beaten track-can be a plus or a minus depending on what looking for ..especially for spectators for a longer race..They did seem to be rushing the wrap up a bit- but the race was late starting due to fog..food/drink excellent good awards.. pros there,a massage tent would have been appreciated..Overall a good course, well run, good event. For me..I had a rocky start ..but I had SO MUCH FUN!! Friends racing & a most awesome support/sherpa smiling & cheering at every transition..Under 6 hr finish , learned a lot, met nice people out on the course..beautiful day..doesn't get much better than this. I am a lucky girl.

  • Comments: What a wonderfully organized event! TONS of happy, energetic, & helpful volunteers. Their cheering and encouragement really helped along the way. The venue is terrific and the post-race feast was delicious. I really like the long-sleeved finisher t-shirt as well. I enjoyed myself thoroughly throughout the event, both racing and otherwise. It wasn't at all hectic, just fun, and energetic. A top-notch event, I would recommend it to anyone!!!

  • Comments: This was the best run of all of the races I've done. the RD (Jeff and Kat Donatello) were amazing. when I was told I wasn't going to make the cut off, I was very disappointed, but determined to finish none the less. they checked me out on the course several times, bringing water and Gatorade to make up for the lack of aid stations at that point (though two aid station stayed open just for me!) and even set up a finish for me when I got back. The volunteers and RD, and everything about this race was awesome

  • Comments: I enjoyed the race overall - good learning experience. The volunteers were the best I'd seen. So nice and helpful. Very small crowd compared to Timberman/Mooseman/Black Fly which was nice. But the athletes weren't quite as friendly. Not a whole lot of encouragement. I am surprised that mentally I wasn't as tough as I thought. I really got bored. That worried me a bit of course knowing what is to come. I really wanted the race to be OVER from about 2/3 through the bike through the end! Even in the days leading up to it - I was more excited about it being over since it really took over so much of my life. But of course the feeling of accomplishment has now taken over and my body is feeling better. It's a little embarrassing saying it was harder than I thought it was going to be - but it really was!

  • Comments: This race is top notch. In a great location, 3-4 volunteers minimum at every turn on the bike, bright orange shirts, huge flags, stopping traffic and letting you know where to turn well before you got to the turn. Just awesome. Looking at my results overall, I am happy. however, the competitor in me wants more. I think I could have finished 2-3 minutes faster had I started out A LITTLE stronger on the bike. That could have placed my in the AG. But this is where how we learn. Experience. Also, there were 9-10 elites here. Several KQers. Races paysout some nice cash awards, so it draws some big names. Cait and Tim Snow. Cait won IMLP in 2008. Tony Delogne, the overall IMLP winner in 2005 was there. He went sub 4 hours!!
