  • Comments: Very nice course, I think beginners can benefit (as I did since it was only my 2nd triathlon with limited preparation for the swim) from the swim portion. At the beginning of the swim, you aren't packed together like sardines scrambling down a buoy line.

  • Comments: Its a mile away how bad would it have to get to be bad. I run in a tutu and tiara for the Annalise 5K in two weeks. Little girl that died of brain cancer. For that race we all dress in tutus and princesses and have a great time.

  • Comments: I love doing this race. It is the right combination of large field, but not too big; everything is organized, and there is also a combination of competitive and "just finish" racers.

  • Comments: Lots of great volunteers. Props to the bike marshals especially for sitting out on the course in the early-morning rain before the event actually got going.

  • Comments: Y did a good job coming in. Stood with Shirley and cheer her in with Mike and Kara. Go over to see how Laurie M did . She is like I should of known it was you. Her kids loved the guy in the tutu. Got some eats and wrangle a picnic table. We got room and guy sits down ask me if I wore it the whole race. I let him know I don't wear it in the swim since the drag is a little much. get some times and head to TA to collect bike and head home. good bye tutu till next week.

  • Comments: They run this race well. Its in its 11th year, so they better. It was Y's 4th tri this year and she is loving and enjoying it a lot. I better start pick it up. Glad Ken was able to race. Mike thanks for getting the whole family. The girls do a great job cheering. Kara congrates on your first Oly. Cheri better start turning up a little. I need to start using the glide I drag to the race as I have chaffing where it doesn't belong.

  • Comments: No direction for racers as far as where refreshments were. You walk right toward a big tent where there are many people and food is visible, then realize that is just for Wegmans. Maybe I'll get a part-time job there. Huge line for peon food and we didn't wait in it.

  • Comments: Great race that his getting bigger every year. Next thing for them is divide that sprint and oly onto different days. They moved transition which gave us more room, nice. This Y's third tri. She did great. She is a little bummed on her time but she should be proud.

  • Comments: A great local race that due to work conflict I had to miss the last 3 years. I was so glad that I could do this again with them switching weekends. Great way to spend time with friends. Glad to see all of my friends, both on BT and not have successful races. Some AG hardware for some too, congrats Kam!

  • Comments: For me this was a warm up for next w/e Syracuse 70.3. I really enjoyed it, perfect weather, great volunteers and a really easy course made it a perfect practice and confidence booster. The family came out to support the old man, and it was great to see them cheering me on so many times during the race. Once I get this silly HIM/IM thing behind me at Mt Tremblant next August I think I might stick to sprints. The training is manageable with family and work committments and the races are actually enjoyable!

  • Comments: A great race as always. I just got an email from the RD saying that they are trying to figure out how to reduce the wait for the poor sprint athletes who have to wait until after 9 to start. And people who walk the swim need to stay on the outside so those of us actually swimming don't bump into you. I'm thinking I may switch to the Oly for next year!

  • Comments: Swim was horrible, but race was well run overall. Relayers had to wait a LONG time to race, and awards were late in the day (afternoon) which made for a long day.
