  • Comments: Got us over to race start on time, and elite and first (my) wave stood around in the water getting cold for 15 minutes, then race director says "5 more minutes"..... jesus christ... wtf.... get with it! Besides that, race was very well organized. Prizes are cheesey though. A lot of people got DQ coffee mugs, and I got a little cheesey made in China desk clock that says "DQ Triathlon at Marlton Lakes Award Winner" on the base. 3rd in age group, 23rd overall... I'll take that for my 3rd triathlon ever! I think a little Scoogie magic rubbed off on me since he racked his bike next to mine ;-)

  • Comments: The race started late this year, for reasons they did not disclose. Other than that, I think everything went well. Nice to see what the race is really like after last year's weather shenanigans. I'm planning on making this the finale of every triathlon season.

  • Comments: I liked it. The rain didn't help at all but it gives you serious bragging rights afterwards doesn't it? Water stations were pretty good. Lake was good. The bike course wasn't closed but they did have a cop or two keeping things under control. Parking was a problem but I don't see what else they could do about it. Overall it was a pretty good race considering the weather. I'll definitely do it again next year! Also, I thought I'd add here that my shoes (and everything else) were soaked afterwards. After some internet research I stuffed my bike and run shoes with newspaper and left them out in the sun for an afternoon. It did the trick wonderfully and dried them both out fully. Good tip in case anyone else wants to try it.

  • Comments: I did this race a few years ago and remember it being an organized race. They put on a good race yesterday and I give em credit for running the race in a tropical storm. Conditions being as they were I am ok with my performance considering the ITBS flare-up and only 5 weeks of training. I have to get the ITband figured out over the winter, work on my old bikes and build a good base for next year. No running for this guy for a while. Sorry I didn't meet up with any BTers. Will make more of an effort next year.

  • Comments: This was the third year I've done this race. The fact that so many showed up on such a nasty day speaks volumes about this little race. Sold out a month in advance!! Kudos to the great volunteers who had to brave the elements and remained very positiove and supportive. Can't do anything about the weather and thing like trees falling on the course, buoys floating off. They did a great job, but I wasn't sticking around for the post raace cause the rain just started coming down harder.

  • Comments: This race isn't perfect but I really enjoy coming out year each year. Its got a very nice small town feel to it. The race directors and the volunteers do a great job, the course is pretty nice, and it is the right time of year so the weather cooperates. Seems like everyone enjoys themselves. I really like the point to point swim. This race has sold out the last two years. I'll be back.

  • Comments: Said it last year and I'll say it again this year. Without a doubt - NO questions asked - truly, truly, TRULY love this event. Would like to see the race clock at the finish line make a return appearance next year and hope the parking situation gets squared away sooner or later but I will most definately be back next year to improve on this year's effort / time. CONGRATS to Chuck Sellers who did a GREAT job as race director again!!!!
