  • Comments: Train hills, hills and more hills! I had heard so much about how tough this course was, from BTers and pro's alike. I had a lot of respect for the course going into the race. All of my prep was on hills, especially my cycling, and as a results, the hills on this course were no big deal, just what I was used to. Excellent event. Top marks to Rev3 -- everything was spot on.

  • Comments: rev3 puts on an amazing race. i would definitely recommend them. my only complaints were: 1. the run was possibly a bit short 2. the food (although being very very good), was a one time trip through a buffet. i like to get something small and then eat more when i'm feelig better, but you can't do that.

  • Comments: Got done and ended up talking with James Cunema the winner in the pro division. Very cool. This race had a very nice feel to it. It is a big time race with a small town feel. Great job by Rev3. Enjoyed completely.

  • Comments: Rev3 once again put on a flawless event. The volunteers were plentiful and very inspiring. Quassy is a small quaint amusement park, but my family spent all of Saturday going on the rides and hanging out at the beach lakeside and we had a really good time. The course is also very beautiful. The entire area of Connecticut is very lush and picturesque. But make no mistake, this is as tough a 70.3 course as they come so be prepared for nothing but hills.

  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: The race is top notch. The location is great. The amusement park is great to keep the family busy while we do our thing. The lake is clean and calm. The bike course is challenging and the roads for the most part are good. Some cracks in the pavement that make you stay focused. The run is fun and challenging. The only negatives for me (and they are not really that much of an issue)-The crowded finish line and the location of the stage for the pro interviews, race briefing and medal ceremony doesn't make much sense. Great race, will probably do it again.

  • Comments: This is a really well run race. Everything is so well put together. The course is extremely well marked. There are plenty of aid stations and they are well stocked (gu and water on the bike, soda, pretzels, gu, water, gatorade on the run). I always felt safe on the course and well taken care of. Yes its a pricey race... but well worth it.

  • Comments: This was a first class event. Happy to be a part of it. Volunteers were great - I had a guy at a bike water stop chase me to get me a Gatorade!! Traffic was controlled. Lots of water during the run. I will do this again next year and try to improve, but I am so happy to have broken 6hrs - even by 2/10ths of a second!! Very happy with the race this year.

  • Comments: Great race. Tough field of competitors. If you have weakness this course will expose it pretty quickly.

  • Comments: I challenge anyone to find a 70.3 race that is harder on the East Coast than this race. Incredible Pro field, excellent location. but at over 12,000 ft of elevation change...there is no hiding on this course.
