  • Comments: This race is well run, a good course & venue, and a wonderful chance to connect with other BTers.Thoroughly enjoyable all the way around.Wish I had been at the finish for each & every Bter..and had taken pictures..Didn't get a chance to spend as much time with each person as I would like..& missed a few people entirely..but so it goes. The support of other racers * jockers ..such a blur at the time- don't get to properly acknowledge just how much is appreciated & enjoyed- so THANK YOU VERY MUCH

  • Comments: This my first Oly and my first season trying to do tri's. It was a good experience and I hope to be able to do more. I could not have done this without the training help from Matrimom. She got me to where I needed to be and coached me along the way. Thanks for the great experience!

  • Comments: This is a good race and it was good to see the NE crew. My mom wasn't feeling well tho. Poor mom. My dad always has a good time at races and I think my uncle had a good time too. Poor guy doesn't get out much. I'm really disappointed I didn't run better. I'm sure it was multifactorial but I wish I could pin it down.

  • Comments: Hey...I met my goals. 1.) finish under 3 hours 2.) 10 min miles for running 3.) drinking on bike and not in TA area. The only goal i didn't meet was not walking during the run. But 3 out of 4 ain't bad for my first international.

  • Comments: This was my first OLY. I finished, I had alot of support, the swim and bike were decent, and most important I had fun. With that said I had a great race. The distance was fine and I'll look forward to my 1st 1/2IM next year in Hawaii with D3.

  • Comments: This is a great event made better by the number of BTers that participate. I will definately do it again although maybe not next year as not sure I'll have the energy after LP and I will be sending my oldest son off to college.

  • Comments: this race is a lot of fun with BT friends. I was hoping to go sub-3 hr - last year my time was 3:02. My swim and bike times this year was alomst the same as last year's , but I knew that I wouldn't beat last year's 58:30 run time. Given the lack of training this year, I'm pleased with my performance. I'll be back next year.

  • Comments: 2nd time doing this course. last year was cold - everyone had to wear a jacket afterward, but was great while racing. This year, it was hot and muggy. I wasn't able to beat my old time, and I wasn't in perfect health. Still a great race, and I had a blast. The best part of the dueling with Joe. Didn't expect I still have the energy to sprint that 0.2 mile.

  • Comments: I love Cranberry. Overall a great race for me this year. Knocked 4:21 off my bike from 2006, 3:46 from my run in 2006 and 8:07 overall. Would have loved to have gone 2:45, but the weather was against me.

  • Comments: I loved everything about this race except the lack of beverages at the finish this year. Nice tee shirt, water bottle, plenty of aid stations, decent post-race food (at least there was some left, unlike Mooseman...). I will be back.

  • Comments: Great race and so fun with so many BTers racing. If you live in the area consider doing this race. BT get togethers before and after the race makes the race so much more fun. On the bike/run it is great to see friendly faces:) Volunteers were great..including Emily who body marked, then directed runners. She was asked to put toliet paper in all the port a potties. I felt horrible for that as I emailed the RD a list of suggestions after Patriot HIM and one was to refill port a potties with toliet paper as they all ran out...and he stuck my daughter with the job...irony?
