Great event!! It was my first stab at it (with minimal training) and I found the whole event was run very well and with great enthusiasm. –Russ

Nice work putting together the triathlon this weekend. I did the Olympic race and it was a beautiful day. You couldn't have ordered more perfect conditions.—Jim

Thank you for a terrific, well-run event. I had a fabulous time. The entire event was so well run from the announcing at the start (I liked the guy and his comments) of the swim, all the volunteers I saw out on the hilly bike route, to the helpers within the transition area. At the finish, I found my family very easily and we enjoyed sitting in the sun and grabbing a bite to eat. Lunch was very good. Awesome—Margaret

Just wanted to thank you for organizing a great race. This was the first time that I have done the Finger Lakes Tri and I really enjoyed it. The event was really well run. I will certainly spread the word to let people know about the race. –Alice

Thank you . . . I can't remember being part of a better organized multi sport event. The energy was good, too. I don't know how you did it with so many bodies (athletes, volunteers and spectators). I'll remember to register early next year because I think the word is out.- Kelly

Thanks again for a great experience, I am definitely doing it again next year. –Tim

Thank you for a great day - I thoroughly enjoyed myself...Elaine

Overall, awesome job on the event this year.--Peter

For this being my very first triathlon, the organization and friendliness of everyone involved was wonderful. Not once was I nervous or confused or intimidated. As a result, I've psyched myself up for next years' tri (stronger, faster, better!), as well as inspiring my family to train for one as well! Kudos to all race organizers and volunteers. What an amazing experience, and I thank you!—Christine

Thanks again for putting on the race. What a beautiful day!—Patrick

I just wanted to thank you for hosting such a great event. It was my first triathlon and being 16 I was quite nervous, but the volunteers were wonderful and they calmed those nerves right away. Thanks again for such a great time, and cause. I will certainly be back next year!—Christopher

I really enjoyed the race on Sunday. Score-This, race director, race crew and the volunteers all did a great job. You were well organized, on time, and the large turnout made the race a big time venue. The course was challenging but fun, well marked, and just like you described. A great end to a great season of racing. Great post race food too. –Daryl

I would just like to thank you and everyone involved in putting together this years Finger Lakes Triathlon. I have competed in 5 other events this year and I have to say this was one of the best organized races I have done. From the time I arrived to park my car to the time I left I was impressed with how quickly people were checked-in, the amount of spectators cheering for everyone passing by and overall how well everything ran.—Jason

It was another great race -- expertly run. Thanks for a good time.—Susie

I wanted to personally comment on how great I thought the race this past weekend was.  Very well organized. Very well run. Quite a lot of fun.—Matt
