  • Comments: This is a great race. The course scares a lot of people away, so you tend to get a very competitive field of racers. Its challenging and rewarding to get it done! The post race food and beer is always a plus too! I was 3/7 in my AG, but got the second place award due to the number 1 being the first women overall. Pretty tough competition indeed!

  • Comments: The race was well organized and well staffed. The post race was a little lacking. The race had advertised more substantial food than was offered. There was, however, free Sam Adams. That made up for the lack of food in my mind :)

  • Comments: My first road tri this year and first olympic this year. I had a 2;30-2:45 projected window and I hit the back end of it so I'm ok with it all. Next year, work on my weakness and come back for a faster time and lower number in the place column.

  • Comments: OBVIOUSLY i got my ass kicked, but still really glad i did the race. Was curious to try out an Oly and get my feet wet in it. My lack of swimming and biking experience was more evident on this much tougher course than it was on the mossman tri, where i was able to push through. It's all good, though. I need a good kick in the ass to motivate me through the off-season. Now i'm gonna focus on my AIDS ride in september, and i'm totally inspired to do the Hartford marathon in October.
