This race was very HOT. Granted you can't control the weather, but the flat roads and lack of shade made things interesting out there. The roads overall were nice and well maintained. Organization was adequate. Water was really warm, wetsuits almost weren't allowed. Overall decent race,

The year that I ran it was one of the coldest on books but the route was fantastic and the event was put on flawlessly from a runners point of view. The course is more hilly than what I am use to but the crowd along the route was amazing and

"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
