"Great race. Drove up from RI and it was well worth the trip. The race venue was great
as spectators, kids and dogs could watch the triathletes in the transition area. The MC for
the race was great as was the music throughout the day. Bathroom facilities were much
appreciated. Organization of racers and transition area was impressive. The bike racking
system left more room than usual to set up. The Hoyts were inspirational as always. The race
had a great vibe and I am looking forward to next year."
