  • Comments: Any issues I had with this race were my problems, and nothing to do with the race. Max Performance always puts on a good race, and I'll be back for others later in the year. Hopefully I'll see big improvements by then!

  • Comments: This was a great start to the tri season. So proud of my club, NorthEast MultiSport, as well had a great showing. We had the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th overall finishers as well as multiple AG and podium finishers.

  • Comments: Having the parking so far away from registration makes it annoying. Big cracks in the road-especially inside the state park, make it a lot less enjoyable. Pre race information was phenomenal. Everything during the race was great as far as volunteers and the placement of water stops. Post race BBQ was delicious! Awards ceremony dragged on forever and was very annoying.

  • Comments: I was about three minutes faster than when I did this race two years ago, and that day didn't have any rain. Still, I feel like I underperformed. 1.5 min faster would have given me the win. Hopefully it'll be a better day when I race a HIM in five weeks.

  • Comments: A good race run by a professional outfit. SImilar to last year, I came in second in age group and wasnt there to pick up my prize. With Mothers Day, I jst cant justify hanging out.

  • Comments: Good organization and post race festivities. The weather was much better than last year, and it was fun to hang out with my teammates. I was actually credited with winning my AG because the guy that won my AG finished 2nd overall, allowing me to get a $20 gift card to a local running store and a pint glass.

  • Comments: My first race. My gear needs to be better, and so do my knees. I didn't get to swim and froze my butt off. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

  • Comments: There was a DJ playing in the transition area. Course I never heard them! I was concentrating so hard to move my extremties. There was a BBQ after but I left. I needed to get warm! It was a good race - just wish Mother Nature cooperated a little more. But then I guess when does she ever?

  • Comments: The swim really got me in this one. I was ready to pack it in coming out of the water. Never really had that feeling in any of my other triathlons. Oh well - nice to have one under my belt this spring and I can't imagine that the swim will be as tough in other events I do this summer.

  • Comments: Overall, I enjoyed the race. My goals coming into the race were to finish strong and not be last in my AG. I accomplished both of those goals. Also, as I said above, the Max team put on a good event. My only criticism is that they didn't cancel the swim for everyone. I am scheduled for two more of their events this year and I am looking forward to them.

  • Comments: I think the Max Performance guys did a good job of making the best of a bad situation caused by weather. Certainly nothing they could do about the wind, and canceling the swim was the right call. I just think they could have taken 15 minutes to slow things down, and figure out the best approach to continuing the race instead of just having everyone start running from the beach. (which they evidently weren't prepared for because they weren't able to give us a separate T1 and bike split.) Maybe they should have offered a second wave of duathlon? I certainly would have felt a lot better about the day if they had. Anyway, I still think they did a GREAT job overall with the race and managed to keep us all happy and safe during a really crappy weather race. So happy with them in fact, that I signed up for their next race as soon as I got home.
