  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Great swag, Small and friendly. disappointed by no swim but partly relieved. Wonder how rest of race would have been with the swim. Good staffing at intersections. They could have used more volunteers; aid stations were stocked well, especially on run course, but volunteers were gone on my way back. That was OK. Wish volunteers at mile 7 had told me I was not at the turnaround!!!! Food was not spectacular; chicken breast, pasta, tossed salad. Beer was good, but no soda for kids or non drinkers. No dessert.

  • Comments: Events were delayed due to water conditions and trying to get the kayaks out so we could swim. The route is fairly flat throughout the course with only a 15mile incline at the beginning of each bike loop with an elevation gain of about 500ft, so nothing to bad. The distance is challenging, but the weather is somewhat unpredictable in NY this time of year. Overall, I would recommend this race because of the small business vs big business type feeling you get from other races. Made quite a few friends before, during, and after the course knowing we all conquered this together.
