  • Comments: I like the area that this race was held in, but I don't know if I would participate again next year. I didn't think that this race was organized very well. The people that signed up the morning of the race were told to cut into the swim starting line near their estimated start time, they should have been put at the end to avoid any additional confusion. Also, it was a total free for all in the transition area. There were no designated spots for each race number. I returned from the bike to find someone had their bike blocking my spot making it difficult to transition to the run. For the cost of the entrance fee, frankly, I expected more. I was planning on participating in the Lowell Mill City Triathlon, but since it is put on by the same company, I am reconsidering it.

  • Comments: I like this race for a few reasons. It is old school (no timming chips, and not very big), Very local (rode to the race), and I knew what felt like 25% of the field personaly.

  • Comments: First one in the books! Woo hoo! They didn't have chip timing. There were people with timing "boxes" instead. As a result, the transition times aren't split out from the event times. It would have been nice to know the duration of each, but maybe next time. It was awful, and wonderful. I'm already signed up for two more this season, and I think I'm going to like triathlon. Another one reeled in, I guess.
