  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: Toward the end of the run course the volunteer stations wheren't even manned... like the volunteers had already packed up and gone home. The massage guy was packing up his stuff and carrying it to the car when I got done... and I really could have used a message on my calves. The whole place was breaking down for the day and I had to specifically ask for a finisher shirt of which they only had large and extra large left. Oh well. It really sucks to be just about last but they could at least extend the same courtesy to all the participants and break down the race after Everyone finishes. I cried all the way home. what a miserable day.

  • Comments: I absolutely loved this race. This was my first half and I could not be more pleased with the race - course, organization, support, location and spectator friendly made it easily my favorite race I have done. Was aiming for 5:45 time, and was ecstatic with 5:15 performance. Really enjoyed racing on same course on same day with some of the best pros in the sport. Will be there again next year.

  • Comments: Rev 3 puts on a great overall show. getting up close and personal with the pros, the blazman's parents, my Trakkers teamates, World Champions, and Olympians was very cool. The race is a challenge but was well done. Great experience and had a great time.

  • Comments: Revolution 3 for me and my family was more than a race, it was an experience. The amusement park, meeting all the Pro's, and a dozen other tangibles made this event exceed my expectations. The course was exceptionally well-marked, the volunteers were superb, I got two awesome shirts, a nice visor, the pre and post activities again with the Pro's and Amusement park just put this event head and shoulders above any other triathlon I've done. I mean, how can you top meeting Craig Alexander, having him sign three visors for you and your two kids!! What a Gentleman!! As far as the course, this is a tough, challenging course. Pro Michael Lovato said it's the toughest HIM course he'd ever done - and many of the Pro's agreed. I treated this course with a lot of respect early on, and in the end it made for a fantastic day. I will definitely be doing more Rev 3 events in the future.

  • Comments: This is a great race - really well run and a joy to participate in. The course is gorgeous and the amenities top notch. They put your name on your transition spot! The only thing I really wish they'd change about this race is the post-race food. After 7 hours of consuming gels and electrolyte drinks while exercising, the last thing I want is mac and cheese and a burger - or really any hot, prepared food. I was longing for some bread or bagels and peanut butter to settle my stomach.

  • Comments: Great learning experience for my first TRI! I learned alot that will help me reach my Ironman Lake Placid goal. The best takeaway I have is once I flatted I was riding/running with a different group than I had been. I had started out riding with alot of focused athletes with their game faces on. The more relaxed and fun group that I ended up spending many hours with was great! Sooooo glad that I got this in before Lake Placid. I don't quite feel like I'm ready for anything...but at least I can handle some more challenges!

  • Comments: Very well organized and great volunteers, but just too darn hard for me. I think the CeraSport drink was a bad choice - tasted horrible. Post race food was good - wish I felt better so I could have eaten more. Transition area was very congested - could have given more space in between rows. Overall, I was pleased with the event, but the hills were disheartening for someone of my level.
