  • Organised?Yes
  • Events on time?No

  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Post race activities? Good
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: The most BEAUTIFUL course I've done yet! The biggest downside to this race (and it is a BIG downside) is the point-to-point factor. Me and my friends spent literally 2.5 hours driving around leaving our shoes at one point, our bike at another, and a car at the end of the race. You have to enlist a crew of friends and family members who aren't involved in the race if you aren't willing to make it a 6 hour affair. I might not do it again...but then again...the course really was stunning.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: The volunteers were awesome! State troopers were at all intersections and were great at directing traffic. I really don't like the transition times being factored into the bike time. Next time I'll move faster in the transitions. Even though I rated this as too hard for my level, I really had a great time! It was so much fun!

  • Comments: This was my first race but everything seemed to run smoothly. The fact that I recieved an award made it that much better. Th money goes to a great a cause and you get to meet the girl who is being benefited fromt he fund raising. Lots of volunteers from the neardby towns making sure teh intersections are clear. The post race events were well organized aswell, lots of food.

  • Comments: This was my first Tri. I completed it under 2 hours (surpassing my goal), took 3rd in my age group (out of only 5), and placed 48 overall (out of 104). I raced it on my mountain bike and my bike computer calculated my average speed at 19.3mph. There are 4 long steep hills on the course. I was pleased with my swim, very pleased with the bike, and disappointed in the run (I went very slow due to cramping). I'm looking forward to getting a road or tri bike and improving my time next year.
