  • Comments: Tough conditions this year. I was pleased with my race but disappointed with my time compared to last year. I was 10:07 slower overall. I also did an Oly at KC this year the week before. +2 min on swim, +8 min on bike, -1.5 min on run, +1 min on transitions. This was inline with overall winner times +10 min this year and AG winner +11 min, so I think the conditions played a big part. Buffalo is big and there is a lot of congestion on the bike early for me but it's still a fun race.

  • Comments: This was my wife and friend's first triathlon so I just used this as a training day. Of utmost importance was seeing my wife exit the water and cross the finish line so I spent a ton of time "in transition". I was definitely pleased with my performance in each of the disciplines though. I mirror the sentiments of other racers that the bike/run courses were very congested and, at times, dangerous. I can't tell you how many times there were people biking or running down a middle where there was no room to pass on either side. Seriously! How hard can it be! I'm surprised there weren't any accidents because of it. Oh well. I emerged unscathed.

  • Comments: Hard to rate this race. The venue itself is awesome but the overlap of the sprint and Oly courses is starting to get dangerous with 1,500 people. I've enjoyed this race the past 3 years but will have to think hard about whether I want to do it in 2010.

  • Comments: I really like this race but I do think they need to spend a bit more time providing guidance to all the newbies, especially as it relates to the bike. I do think it's great that they are out there but they need to explain how to stay right, etc.

  • Comments: Aside from the gobs of bikers and runners along the sprint course, this is a great race, one that I am really looking forward to doing in the future.
