"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."
