"Challenging but awesome race.

- Packet - more goodies than most races.
- Swim - Even though it's far north it's still the Hudson. In 2013 we believe the course was short.
- Bike - Challenging hills but great course. Enough aid stations.
- Run - Challenging hills again but amazing crowd support. BEAUTIFUL

Rugged maniac was great! The only thing I have to complain about was where the pile to toss my shoes in was (way out of the way) and the parking but because we arrived late, I was able to appreciate how easy the check in was! And GREAT beer at the

Lack of stations. Danger on course/roads. Not well organized. It can be fun when people dress for the Irish holiday, even though it is not a great course.
