  • Comments: Solid race. Good enough organization. Nice volunteers. But clearly a local race, not quite ready for prime time. I would have appreciated more fluid availability on the bike. The run course was marked strangely in some spots (arrows pointing in both directions over each other, running through rubble, cross-overs, etc.). The transition area was completely dark until five minutes before it closed (maybe they could rent a light or two). Even with all of those small inconveniences, it was still a fun race, a beautiful day and an awesome learning experience.

  • Comments: This RD has a lot of improving to do, this is not a cheap race and is tough logistically, but should be run a lot better. weather did not help, but it seemed like there was a lack of a plan "b". I will not nitpick details, it is not worth it.

  • Comments: Montauk is a beautiful town with georgeous views and natural scenery. It's a magical place, really. I do believe the Race Organization needs to improve in many areas though. For one, packet pick-up is the night before only. Which meeans for many Long Islanders, we need to drive the 1.5 hours plus out to Montauk (3 hours+ round trip) the night before, and then do it all over again 4 AM the next day. This year was even worse because when Charlie and I drove out to pick up our packets, due to the rain!, their computers weren't working and we were unable to pick up our packets. This is really ridiculous. The Race Organizers knew all week that it was supposed to rain on Saturday, and it rained all Race Day last year. They also need to have a Plan B for the rain when it comes to transition. The transition area was an ABSOLUTE MUD PIT. It was downright dangerous. Another area that needs improvement is the Water Stop on the Bike Course. There is count 'em ONE water stop on the bike.
