Pittsford Triathlon

This is a small friendly triathlon ideal for the beginner and yet challenging enough for the accomplished athlete (more information is in my blog,( https://www.seniortriathlontips.com/post/pittsford-triathlon-review ). The whole process from parking your bike and gear in the transition zone to being marked and getting the ankle bracelet only takes a few minutes. The swim is in a pool and consists of 6 laps, swam in a serpentine manner. The swim is well coordinated and a very efficient process. The bike route is uphill from start to finish! Not really, but it can seem like it since one spends more time grinding up the hills than speeding down the hills. The run is a 3.3 mile run as opposed to 3.1 miles which would be standard for the 5k. The organizers provide a post-race meal which is mostly breakfast wraps, juice or water. Without a doubt the breakfast wraps that contain bacon are the first to be consumed, leaving a largely unwanted abundance of veggie-wraps for the old and the slow participants.
