  • Comments: I didn't have a good performance, but this was still a good race. Plenty of volunteers and the race was run pretty well. It's a very scenic area and a great choice for a race.

  • Comments: The swim waves were good - nice size waves, not huge. It's nice to able to rack your bike the night before and not have to deal with that part the next day. It's not a flat course. I enjoyed the bike portion - challenging but nice. I wasn't a fan of the run course change at the last minute but you roll with it. The hills on the run killed me (and I run hills often) but that just means I need to train better and race smarter and plan for it. The volunteers were good as they always are at every race and good police presence at intersections. The only issue I saw was when a car tried to turn left across the runners and a few of us cyclists as we came flying down the final hill to the flats before T2. The cyclist next to me braked and started yelling at the driver, I put my head down and pedaled harder after yelling for him to stop.

  • Comments: I really wanted to focuse of staying calm, haveing fun and just getting the race done. My swim pace in a pool is 1:50/100 so my race pace was a dissapointment. Overall I'm happy with my performance as I had a great time and really liked the race.

  • Comments: Overall great race experience. Beautiful venue and some enjoyable courses to go along with it. Loved the race hoodies for a change. As with all races there were a few areas for improvement (having to pay $10 to park, chip scanning race morning got backed up) but I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend this race to anyone interested.

  • Comments: This was my first Olympic and I have fallen in LOVE with the distance. I've known for a while that sprints aren't quite right and assumed that the only other distance I had done, HIMs, were the right one. Nope. I loved the pace and distance of all three disciplines. I'm still stoked for Ironman next year, but think I have found my calling. I know that next time I do this distance I am going to take a HUGE chunk of time off, but am still happy with sub-3:20 considering all that went wrong. My original goal of 3:15 was assuming a much flatter bike and run course.

  • Comments: This really was an outstanding race. I feel so fortunate to have tremendous racing opportunity within driving distance to my home. This race ranks right up there with some of the best ones that I have done. The scenery is beautiful here and Lake George is probably the prettiest lake in the entire country. I highly recommend this race to anyone and I most definitely will be back next year most likely doing the Big George 1/2 Iron race!

  • Comments: I have done 4 races. This was by far the best. It helped that the day was perfect. There were so many mashalls and police that there is no way you could go wrong on the courses. The transition area was good and the food at the end was great (chocolate milk! great). I will try to make it back next year.

  • Comments: This really is a good race (despite my issues with the bike course). I just had no motivation going into the race, knowing I was severly undertrained. I went into this with an "I am participating, not racing" mentality and actually enjoyed myself without the pressure of wanting a certain time, etc.

  • Comments: I couldn't thank all the wonderful volunteers enough. It was my first olympic distance tri and a hard one (especially swim)but I was able to get through with great help from volunteers at aid stations who not only handed me drinks but also ran backwards so I could get them easily without spilling them and a kayaker who reminded me that I was going wrong way and pointed me to the right direction. The sound of drums from the marching band(?) on the uphill of run course was great help also. I never knew the sounds of drum could raise my sprits that well. They also had a nice raffle prizes of which I won K-swiss shoes & Road ID Gift certificate. I'd like to come back next year and do little better.

  • Comments: This is a great race and I was so happy that the weather was MUCH better than last year's! PLUS, I was happy that they held it on Saturday instead of Sunday. The volunteers rocked. They did a GREAT GREAT GREAT job at the intersections. I love that they had raffles at the end. We didn't win anything despite spending a little extra on more tickets, but still, it's a good idea. We wanted those zipp wheels or a wetsuit REALLY bad! =)

  • Comments: I can't say enough about the volunteers on the course. They were awesome! As a BOPer, I am very appreciative of the people who are still out there cheering for the stragglers. The Lake George police did a great job controlling the traffic. I never had to slow down for traffic at an intersection. The course was clearly marked, but if you missed the marks there were volunteers at every turn pointing us in the right direction. The race was very well organized. I wish I could comment on the post-race party, but I had to get home for a volunteer meeting for the Adirondack marathon which took place in my town the next day. I was glad I had volunteered, so I had a chance to pay it forward after the receiving so much support from the volunteers in Lake George.

  • Comments: I would not give this race a 5 because the swim just down right sucked.The fact that there were only 2 buoys at the end point, none to sight on to treck your pace really bothered me. Combined with what I percieved as limited kyaker support, I felt a little nervous. I think they'd do better to have this race a little earlier in the year when the morning isn't so damn cold, also.

  • Comments: I would highly recommend this race!!! It was enough of a challenge to be rewarding, but not so much so that it was obnoxious to push through. Very organized and the swag bags rocked!! Lots of cool goodies!! Lodging was easy to get close to the race which helped a great deal. Nice area, nice people...looking forward to next year!

  • Comments: This was a great race. The volunteers were fantastic and really improved the overall experience, I can't thank them enough, especially for being out there in poor conditions. This race was quite the struggle for me, and hopefully one I can learn from and build on. Despite all the adversity, I was still able to beat my goal time of 2:45:00, of which I could not be prouder.
