Race Reports for Perigrine Charities Triathlon

Race rating (5)

Comments: This was a top shelf event. It was extremely well-organized, there were almost too many volunteers, and the venue at George Wyth State Park is terrific. The goody bag was also great, with a high-quality long sleeve tech shirt, nice mesh race bag, flashlight, insect repellent, coupons and other goodies. They thought of everything. My only knock on the race was the post-race food, which consisted of a dry and tasteless turkey sub and some choices of fruit or granola bars. With the high standard they had set with nearly everything else, I expected more. As far as my own performance, as much as this race was ripe for me to set a PR, I didn't deserve it. This has admittedly been a season in which I have pulled back on my training, and it showed in my results. This year, I'm fine with that. Next year, I hope to do better.

Comments: ok from the beginning. HIGHLY organized pre raceday activities (expo, packet pick up, registration). pretty nice set up for it all as well. race day - again excellent organization and information readily available. race itself - course was marked on the swim the entire way with the bouy line going thru noodles, easy to keep track of. bike was marked every 5K and run was every mile. volunteers - i think the total number of athletes was around 350is. it was announced that there were 252 volunteers AT THE RACE ITSELF. i believe it awards - cash prizes for top three elite and top age groupers. finisher medals for all and raffles going on as well (i won a hat) schwag - BEST shwag bag i have gotten at a race other than donkey man yet! keep an eye on this race, i bet within five years it will explode and become a major event.
