"Thank you so much again for
affording me the opportunity to
come and enjoy your private
playground! The fact that you've
invented a race that caters to
everyone from beginner to
experienced triathlete is
certainly a true stroke of genius.
The race course was awesome
this year and nice job on the
ramps on the bike portion! Even
though it's only been my second
year, I absolutely love this event
and pray that it will be around for
years to come."

"This was my first year doing the race and
I have to tell you it’s one of the most
challenging races I’ve ever done. I’ve
previously done a couple of sprint and full
tri’s in Western PA and Eastern OH but
this was the coolest experience I’ve ever
had in a race. I even found it more
physically taxing than a marathon. I’ve
never done mountain biking before the
race so I was really concerned but I made
through without an accident. My favorite
part was when I was alone on the running
trail and all I could hear were birds and
the pounding of my feet on the ground. I
told my friends that what makes the race
even harder is the fact that you have to be
so laser focused the whole time to ensure
proper footing or stay on the bike trail. I
was completely wiped out after three
loops and at times I didn’t know how I’d
finish the fourth but I felt great once I got
done. Only real drama was being chased
by a grouse in the woods, ha it would not
get off the trail. Your volunteers were
great as well and your man on the dock
actually pushed me to do the fourth loop. I
plan to be back next year and will be
telling anyone who will listen about the
race."

"Great race this year. This was my 2nd time participating in the
event. Plan to return next year for sure. I have a funny story
from the trail. I was on the run portion and I passed the last
hydration station where I grabbed a cup of Gatorade. I drank it
down and tossed my cup at the side of the trail when all of the
sudden I heard a squawk and rustling behind me. I glanced
back (of course I could not stop running) and there was a crazy
brown bird running behind me and flapping it's wings. It chased
me for several hundred feet before it gave up. A few minutes
later, another runner, Jared, caught up to me and asked, "Did
you see that bird? It stood in the trail and wouldn't let me pass."
For every next lap I would get anxious when I approached that
hydration station! Crazy bird! Thanks again for a top notch
production. I love this event because the people, whether they
are participants or volunteers, are so great. I would not change
a thing about the event. You really treat the participants well!"

"First time doing a triathlon. I have done many different
sports from kickboxing and wrestling to basketball. I am
always up for a challenge. This was awesome, alone in
the woods, testing your own inner drive. I cannot wait to
do it again next year!"
