• Comments: I really liked this race. From a spectator stand point it was done really well, the swim, transitions, and finish were very close to each other. plently of place to park and a playscape for the kids. lots of vendors on race day (would have liked more on Saturday) Great event!

• Comments: As would be expected from the Hartford Marathon folks this was a classy event with some special attention to detail for the women: there was a table (I heard) coming up the beach where you could leave spectacles or anything else you thought you might need for the run up; the TA was also on the asphalt basketball court instead of on the dirt (yes that's 250-300 women and their bikes and their gear and at least 200 washing up bowls!!) all on one b'ball court! The finishers medals were very unique and thoughtful and the post-race expo had folks from REI, Dunkin' Donuts, Whole Foods, Sam Adams (yes, beer at 10 a.m.), Panera, Collinsville Bakery, Farmington PT etc etc. My first posted time was off about 4-5 mins from my time on my watch but when I told them that I started in the third wave that sorted it out. Shouldn't really be my responsibility to time my race and make sure the timing is accurate for an $80 entry fee - this correction lifted me from 12th overall to 3rd. I didn;t take my splits

• Comments: This was a great inaugural event by Hartford Marathon Foundation. I did this race to support the event and to be there to support all the women doing their first race or capping their first season of racing triathlon. So many inspiring stories. We had several women from many AGs place in the race yesterday including the 60/64. Which is just so cool!
