  • Comments: This is an excellent race. Very well run, nice course, and plenty of volunteers. Although my race didn't go quite as well as planned, I still had a wonderful time. Seeing some of the Finger Lakes area BTer's is always good, and meeting Kelly and Paula from our mentor group really made the weekend special.

  • Comments: You cannot beat racing with our group of friends. Any race that we can all be at (sorry we missed Craig) is worth doing, no matter the venue or distance. Racing with these people is one of the best things about triathlons. The only negatron things I have to comment on: (1) they ran out of pizza (2) the woman who checked me in at packet pick up was mean to me.

  • Comments: overall this is a great race and they put on an excellent race. great volunteers, challenging course and a beautiful venue. Funny athletes meeting, good athlete dinner and creative housing options (dorms). only complaints I had were the lack of approved swimming on saturday. The rough pee gravel section of the bike course and off road sections of the run course make the course fun and challenging - so being the masocist I am, I would not change those.

  • Comments: Overall a great race would like to do it again someday; however, next half will be on a flat course to see if it makes any difference. Maybe Eagleman.

  • Comments: This was a great race! Pros: nice course/location, long sleeved tech shirt, awesome bike gear finishing medals, good post-race food, lots of volunteers and stocked aid stations, getting to race with friends. Cons: can't really think of any. I really liked this race. Looking back to Kinetic in 2007 and Eagleman in 2005 and 2006, this race was drastically different. It actually felt good. I actually ran the run. I raced and didn't just survive the distance. I am really happy with my overall performance and happy the day came together as it did. Since Kinetic was shortened, this was a 1 hour, 7 minute PR compared to Eagleman in 2006. While the mild temps and overcast skies helped, I felt so much stronger than past HIM distance races. It's a nice confidence boost to know I am getting stronger and smarter.

  • Comments: This is THE race that all other races will be compared to!! PHENOMENAL organization. Jeff is a supreme race director. I loved all the emails from him from when I registered until the week of the race. Everything was so thorough...maps, directions, meetings, volunteers at the race. I highly, highly recommend the Musselman!

  • Comments: Hung around for a bit to see the awards ceremony. Missed the podium for the Double Mussel by 1:34. D'oh! Guess that means I'll have to go back next year with a stronger bike leg.
