  • Comments: Smaller race as far as participants. Nicely organized event. Awards included metals and for the top finishes a nicely hand painted awards plate. Something different,nice touch. Road conditions for bike segment sort of rough, but nothing orgnizers can do about that. Only negative thing about this event.....the bike racks in transition were terrible! I personally saw 3 racks get toppled over and I was told by my transition neighbor that the rack I was on also, fell right after I left T2. Saw a few very expensive bikes go falling to the ground. Too bad. Each time you racked your bike or anyone else did on the same rack the whole thing moved and swayed. Improvements definately needed here. Otherwise, very fun event. Weather was great, nicely organized! Special thanks to Lowell Police Dept. for providing a safe crossing of all necessary busy intersections and crossing! They were very supportive of all athletes! Would probably do this event next year.

  • Comments: This race had a little added bonus for me. Sen. Scott Brown was racing today. I could really care less about the fame factor. A lot of my team mates posed for pictures. I was interested in how good he was, what kind of gear he used, and how he treated people on the whole. He is a very good triathlete, finishing 3rd overall in the sprint. Rides a trek which is good in my book, and was very friendly to everyone. Ok, so now I can say I have taken a beating from a US senator in a triathlon. Never thought that would be something I could say. I guess it is more fun to say I raced with him though ;)
