  • Comments: Great organizing by Setup, the volunteers were fantastic! Beautiful swim. Setup really needs to lengthen the bike course into a 2-lap course before someone crashes. The 200 yds. through the woods was not fun. Big plus having a local race, though. Probably will do it next year.

  • Comments: I like the fact this race so close in Montclair and the lake is wonderful to swim in. The whole 600ish people on the bike course IMO is just too dangerous though, probably won't be back here unless they change that. For the run it wasn't so bad.

  • Comments: This was one of the better set up races in terms of swag and after race food. The event was well run as usual and on time. I liked the course. The volunteers were great and so was the community.

  • Comments: I was hoping to break 2 hours, and I did. My goal was based on the advertised distances, but the run was about .15 miles short of advertised. Even if I add in another minute to compensate, I'm still under 2 hours, so no troubles on that account.

  • Comments: This was one of the best events that Setup has put on. Greg and the group did an excellent job. Awards were pretty sweet too - a nice camping chair with race logo. Something I can use!

  • Comments: Set-up Events always does a good job. It was well organized. I love the shirt that we got for this one! The 3-loop bike course is not ideal since it gets so crowed, but it was doable. The swim and the run courses were great! There was lots of fruit and water available, but I wish they had bagels or something healthier instead of pizza from Domino's.

  • Comments: This race was the most challenging for me this season and was the closest I was going to get distance wise compared to the Nations Triathlon Olympic distance this September that I will be doing.

  • Comments: The 2 mile distance from parking to the start/finish stinks, there's no other way to say it. But what can you do, you are limited in areas to swim, and this is actually a good place to swim. It makes it more critical to remember everything, because going back to the car would be awful! I saw people doing that though. The race day packet pickup line was pretty long as well, did not leave you much time at all to get ready for the race. The course itself is ok for a populated area. Volunteers are great, and the food is endless pizza.
