  • Comments: Great race...well put on, each year they make subtle improvements as they listen to racers and try to improve on what they can. I didn't like the bike course pre riding it but it suits my strengths as a cyclist. I see potential for very fast bike split for me on this course in the future and races are really all about the bike, right?;)

  • Comments: This is a great race with great volunteers and lots of crowd support. I didn't to it last year, but will try and make it a point to come and at least volunteer if I can't participate in the future. It's always good seeing all my BT friends. I don't understand why everyone needs to join a tri club when we have our own BT club.

  • Comments: Good race, very well managed. Slight delay at start was mitigated by the last swim wave. Police at every intersection and volunteers at every turn. My kids had a great time volunteering and it is clear to me that the RD earnestly cares about the athletes.

  • Comments: I really like this race. Its well organized and there's a lot of fast people at it. My only complaint is it look forever for the awards ceremony. Apparently they had an issue with the timing that they couldn't get resolved. I really just wanted to get out of there. However, I'm very happy with my results and it was a great day.

  • Comments: Love this race... BT dinner the night before, great course, great atmosphere, great volunteers, great organization, gel and heed on the course, and all my favorite people seem to show up. This is what good triathlons are all about. Best of all, my time was 25 minutes faster this year.

  • Comments: First things first. I LOVED this race and will definitely be doing it again next year. I have two small gripes. 1. I'm kind of pissed off that they didn't have the sized t shirt I signed up for. I mean come on, put the schwag bags together ahead of time with the t shirts people ordered instead of putting them together on the fly. Now I have a great T shirt that is too small for me to ever wear. 2. Little bummed at the lack of recovery stuff (protein drinks etc.), after the race. Definitely not a super big deal, but I think we've all come to expect them. I would have brought something of my own if I knew they weren't going to have any sponsors on hand.

  • Comments: This was a great race. I highly recommend it. The swim was difficult to navigate beause it was a big circle around the lake. Beauty of bike ride and run were great. Lots of fun afterwards with lots of gifts for everyone and a free barbacue for runner. Oh yeah you even get a medal for finishing.

  • Comments: This was an interesting race for me. I battled through some diversity pretty well and I am pretty pleased with my results, however, I was expecting to do a little better. The organization of the race, volunteers, food/drink, etc, was all top notch. I'm planning to do this race again next year.

  • Comments: Based on my complete lack of training this year, I'm pleased that I was only 9 minutes off last year's time and I beat my time from two years ago when I had trained all summer. But, it's still disappointing to finish so far back in the field so I really need to get my butt in gear and get back to training. I also need to focus during the off-season on my running, which is by far my weakest discipline.

  • Comments: This is a nice race but mostly I like seeing and racing with my NE BT friends :) I like the patriot venue better. I forgot to give the BT tough cookie award out because it was in my transition stuff to my car and it was in there. I award the BT tough cookie award to Marianne for racing a mere 6 weeks after her bike wreck and PRing to boot.

  • Comments: This one was all about the bike. Just under 17mph is a really good pace for me. I know it's a fast course, but I really felt like I was pushing myself out there and had improved quite a bit since the beginning of the year being happy with 14mph rides. I've still got a long way to go with bike fitness, though, and hope to make friends with my "Angry Badger" this winter. Run was a surprise, but next time it shouldn't be a guessing game about how I'll do because I'll get more time in orthotics which have already given me some hope about improving my running (and decreasing my consistent pain and injury). I'm always less concerned about the swim, but that's certainly why I didn't do as well as I had hoped. Overall, I ended just right - barely made it to the finish, but not crying or spasming or collapsing, but took everything I had to make it there. Great course, and I'm really happy to have had this one as my first Oly. I feel like doing this longer course has given me a much greater

  • Comments: Still my favorite race. Not quite sure why nobody asked if I was ok when I am staggering around for the better part of 1.5 hours with my eyes almost shut from mile 4 to the point I dropped in transition. Must have looked better than I felt. By the time I got home, I had the energey to unpack the car, take care of the cats, run some laundry etc. I feel like I could go for a run in the AM, but a swim is more likely. From my perspective, this is not a negative review, but a record to look back on.
