  • Comments: i loved this race and had good fun doing it with 10-15 team mates, but what followed sort of ruined it for me. it turns out i won my division, but didn't know for sure because i vanished from the results. it was like my entire day's worth of efforts (train-bike-ferry-train-bike-tri-etc.) was invalidated, to say nothing of being robbed of my first win. evidently because of a race management mistake, i was disqualified. the results company half "re-instated" me after the fact (in the overall results, but not the awards), but it was a "buzz-kill". and the race management simply e-mailed me my overall finish place, a number and no more in the way of explanation or anything.

  • Comments: Very solid race. Lots of fun - despite being on Staten Island (much more difficult to get to than I thought it would be when signing up). Safe course, very well planned. Worst race t-shirt ever. 99% cotton/1% polyester ($80 for a sprint and not even a tech t-shirt), and it's a (pardon my french) wife beater! Oh well. Nicely done, GBR.

  • Comments: This is a good local race, and probably the only real tri in New York City that's mostly local people, as opposed to the NYC Tri, which draws people from all over the US. This is my second year doing this race, and I could see doing it again. It's easy to get to (if you live in Brooklyn and have a car), and reasonably priced. Cons are that there aren't enough drink stations on the run, and that it has, hands-down, the ugliest race t-shirt in America.

  • Comments: I enjoyed this race tremendously. I loved the run back on the Boardwalk. I liked the feeling that you were "just out for a workout" and working out with all the other locals walking and running on the Boardwalk. This is a race that I would do again next year!
