  • Comments: I really like this race. It's the end of the season race in the Rochester area so it has a nice vibe. The venue is great. The bike course is good, the run course gets changed every year for the better (this year it was really nice) and the swim is ideal for beginners. Clear water, you can walk the sprint course if needed because the lake is so shallow at this end. Takes the panic factor away. A bit chaotic at the swim start, they have to get the whole corral thing down a bit better. Great coverage on the bike course, fun volunteers on the run course. Good food afterwards. There's kids tri too. Recommended.

  • Comments: Unlike some others who had organisational glitches, I think I avoided most of them by getting there quite early. I put my bike in before getting body marked and timing chip with no problems (after seems mad - was everyone supposed to just dump their bikes on the ground????). I had no queues for body marking, timing chip or toilets so was quite happy. A little more info on website/pick up packet would have been nice. I may have missed it but had no idea what would be at aid stations (I relied on my own nutrition anyway) and people travelling to an event that still says it is open isn't very good. I had heard somewhere that we had to clear transition area before we got our food. That didn't seem friendly to exhausted athletes but wasn't enforced/mentioned on the day anyway. From my point of view I had a completely hitch free race and the volunteers were full of smiles (and some dancing) so I have no complaints. Food was nice too. Pita's and sandwiches stuffed full, fruit salad and

  • Comments: Mostly on time. The start was a little behind, but not too much. The morning was kindo of chaotic and disorganized which is unusual for a Score-This! run event. Well run, a very good goodie bag for this area, long sleeve T-shirts which is nice. Jeff Henderson was really funny race announcer as usual.
