  • Comments: Some things felt off this year. No water bottles, no foam crowns, no speakers out on River Road on the run course. Water level in the pond was low, finger scraping along the back stretch.

  • Comments: Great race in a great venue with a great organization. This was my first race with Team Gnomies, and that part was a blast. It’s fun to race with a team and the fact the one of us placed 2nd AG was great. This is a fun distance and I wish there were more like it around here. I’d like to have a chance to push this one a lot harder. Interesting postlude - after putting my flip flops on, someone commented on blood dripping out from my foot. I checked and sure enough there was a nice gash on the bottom of my foot. I figured I must have cut it somewhere after the race, but that didn't make sense. I figured if I cut if during the race, it would have to be getting into the water on the swim since the start was full of pointy rocks. But if that was the case, it's hard to imagine I wouldn't have noticed and if so my sock would have the evidence. Sure enough, I pulled the sock out of my bag and it was soaked in red! My own bloody sock story (Red Sox fans will get that!). I'm not

  • Comments: Another great race. Aside from the swim, I really like this race. Great setting and course. And I love being able to stay this close so you can walk over in the morning. I cut 9 min off of last years time. Volunteers were also fantastic. Now I just need to recover enough for tomorrow's sprint. That will be painful. I only wish the local businesses of Waterville Valley supported the race better and there were better options for food. I am surprised there isnt a better place to eat. The customer service at a few of the local shops and condo's is also horrible.

  • Comments: For my second tri ever, this was a win. Great having a "home course" race. International difference was a challenge, even with the short swim. Looking forward to bettering times significantly next year.

  • Comments: I love this race. I am really very disappointed in my bike performance because it could have been a superior race for me. 2010 Results were swim, 8:03 T1, 3:07 Bike, 1:04:52 T2, 1:27 Run. 42:38 Overall, 2:00:06 Improvement in all categories except the swim - but I really think the length of the swim course is not consistent enough to measure year over year (or even day to day for that matter)

  • Comments: Everything about this event was first class. Tons of volunteers, well organized and run race site, excellent hotel choices within walking distance to transition. We had a blast with the whole experience (starting with watching the time trial the night before) until the time we left. We'll definitely be back!

  • Comments: I had a goal of 2 hours and was bummed that I missed it by so little. I could have made up 6 seconds just about anywhere - but especially in T1 and in the run. I was really glad I was racing the next day so I could try and improve that darned swim. But toward the end of the day I did wonder how the heck I was going to find the energy to do so.

  • Comments: Overall - great race. There were definitely personal touches from Mooseman that were absent and missed. We didn't have our name on our race number, there was no finishers metal, there was no podium at the awards ceremony. However, overall I loved this race. Also loved the fact that you could race all 3 days with a reasonable amount of training because the load wasn't crazy (4 mile TT Friday, short Oly Saturday, Sprint Sunday). Will probably do Lord of the Flies next year. Also great self-contained location for a race!
