  • Comments: Despite the weather, I loved this race! This was probably the nicest race course I've ever done. It was beautiful. The volunteers were amazing!!! Standing out in the chilly, pouring rain for hours and still smiling and cheering...they were so great. For how awful the weather was, there were so many spectators and people standing outside their houses & on porches cheering for everyone. Like many races, the bike course was open to traffic. While I didn't see many cars out, the ones I did see were more conscious & courterious to cyclists than I've ever seen before. I did this race as a warm up for Syracuse. I wanted to give myself a little mental boost and also see what I need to work on in the coming weeks. I didn't really have a lot of goals for once. And once I saw the weather forecast all I wanted to do was to make it through the day without a crash. I accomplished all of that, I felt great during the whole race, I had so much fun and I actually enjoyed racing in cool rainy

  • Comments: this is a great race with a lot of history. i'm not sure why it isn't more popular. the 2 transition areas aren't ideal and the swim is warm, but it is done very well. i would recommend it.

  • Comments: I think it needed some more post-race refreshments. They had all the Gatorade one could want on the course, but none at the finish. Only fruit was bananas, most looked to green for my taste. Didn't see oranges. That would have been good. We were allowed to shower at the Fitness Center, which was greatly appreciated. Lots of volunteers, good transportation to the swim start. Reasonably priced race, enjoyable and challenging.
