  • Comments: this was my first Oly. the volunteer staffing for this was the best ive seen. people everywhere. plus, the job these guys had to do was a large one. Rt.11 had a nasty accident saturday night and was closed, so traffic was diverted into Sunbury onto the tiny 2 lane front street. which also happened to be under construction. so not only did they have to stop and direct traffic for us racers, but also had a hige increase in volume due to Rt 11 being closed. post race food was the bomb. AG trophy is cool, an old 45 record on an oak base. plus a finishers medal. really, this was a great event. the RD and all those involved were very passionate about making this a great race. and they succeeded in my book. i like this distance too. get to go longer at a pretty hard pace. I'm signing up next year.

Their choice of bike route led to a lot of turns, some of which were not staffed with volunteers and could have been missed if you weren't paying attention to the marks on the road and pylons. The run course could have used a few more markers - it was a simple design for the most part with very few turns, but I appreciate a few markers to make sure I'm going the right way. There was also some controversy that the 1st and 2nd overall finishers may have cut the run course short - I don't believe on purpose, but I think because they probably didn't pay close attention to the pylon markers. There was no confirmation of this rumor, but my family members were pretty sure they saw the 2 off the marked run course. Post-race activites were

  • Comments: This was my first one so I don't have anything to benchmark against, but its a beautiful area. The river wasn't too mucky. Lots of friendly helpful volunteers. I will most likely do this one again.
