Great races with a personalized feel!

My first experience with the Alpha Win team was the Lake George Tri camp in August 2021, which was fantastic, and in ways I didn't expect. Naturally, I expected to preview the courses and get general race tips, but I also got a lot of individualized feedback on my performance as well as the opportunity to discuss triathlons and training throughout the weekend with other athletes - both new and highly experienced. These led to ongoing conversations with more feedback which helped shape my training and race plans for the 2022 season.

Last season I also raced the Lake George 70.3 and the Saugerties Triathlon (Sprint), and each event was like racing with friends. The Alpha Win team recognized me, and welcomed and encouraged me before and throughout each race. I often struggle to control my race day nerves but these races felt different - they were fun while still being challenging. As soon as I crossed the finish line in Lake George 2021, I made plans to enter for 2022 as my A-race for the season.

I work full-time and have a busy life in addition to my training and racing schedule, so I am thrilled to have so many high-quality races close to home. It allows me to race more, train on the courses, and often enter with my local friends which is always the most fun. I can't say enough good things about Alpha Win - I'm looking forward to another great race season!

I love Alpha Win events

I love Alpha Win events because not only are the events fun and well mapped out, with multiple volunteers and police to assist you (so you are safe and know exactly where you are going) but also because the staff is exceptional! They are so helpful and friendly! I participated in the Alpha Win Tri Camp, the Lake George Triathlon, and the Saugerties Triathlon and definitely plan on participating in the same events and attending more this year! I highly recommend and can't even express my gratitude to all the people that make these events possible!

Thank you for an incredible race experience.

That was my first full Ironman. I would not have wanted the experience any other way. Thank you for your efforts in keeping a small town race and treating everyone there like they were family! It was awesome!
