Testimonials

To the Finish Strong Crew,
I just want to thank you for a great first race experience! You all made it go very smoothly, despite the raging weather. I am still stoked about finishing (and a little stiff). I learned a ton during the race and got even more out of the stats that were posted on line.

Sincerely,
Sarah Gardner #64

Great Job on the Race today! It was a great event and was well organized. Your volunteers were outstanding and gave plenty of direction and encouragement. I look forward to future FS events, especially next year’s Challenge. Thanks for a great event.

Best of luck!
Randy

First of all, GREAT event! That was so well run and organized, beautifully staffed with nice volunteers, easy as pie to know what to do and how to do it. Thank you! I’ll be watching for more of your events for sure.

Also, many thanks for the Outback gift certificates, which I received because I am of “advanced” age (I’m your 50 year old). That was a very pleasant surprise and my family is looking forward to sharing them with me. My husband, who watches what I shell out in race fees with just cause, was especially pleased.

I hope you feel gratified by your event, as well you should be. Please pass my words along to your Finish Strong Team.

Best regards,
Mary Whitwell

The race was a blast! The volunteers were so wonderful, the venue was beautiful and I appreciate all your hard work-thank you!

See you soon,

It was our pleasure to help out, and we had a blast doing it, and cheering on the participants. Our son was in it also. But that was not the point. The point was to cheer all of them on and encourage and help wherever needed. We hope you will call on my husband and myself again next year. We got to meet so many at the parking lot before hand while parking them, then was called back to the pavilion to go on the bike route, but was not needed by the time we got there. So we just helped as the bikers were coming in to tell them to slow down and to help route the runners back in the right section and give them all encouragement as them came in and went out. We loved it. Thank you again.

To the Finish Strong Team,
Thanks for putting on a great Triathlon this past weekend. We headed down from Vermont to vacation in the Outer Banks (and get away from the snow that never melts), came across the triathlon during our planning stage and it was a great way to end our week stay. You all put a lot of work into setting things up, coordination of a lot of people and then taking it all down again. So thank you for your efforts and hopefully I'll be back!

Thanks for putting on the kid's triathlon yesterday in Nags Head. My daughters had a ball and want to do more in the sport. Your crew made for a safe, fun event appropriate for the youngsters. I hope there was enough interest for you to continue to host this event in years to come.

Regards

I would like to give a grand thank you to Finish Strong for putting on such a great event. I participated in the Triangle Orthopedic Sprint Triathlon and it was a great event to be a part of. You guys were all over the place asking how people finished with smiling faces a plenty. I have never had preliminary race reports posted so quickly…THAT ROCKS!!! Post-race food was good and plenty. Thanks to you guys for having Whole Foods as a sponsor, I can’t remember the last time I ate so much peanut butter, bread, and delicious apples, etc. after a
race. You guys really did a fantastic job. I am divinely spreading the word and wearing my FS visor every time that I run. I look forward to racing in more of your events.

Thanks…You guys & gals ROCK

FSS team,
Thanks for another great race on Sunday! Your team did a great job at organizing the race and ensuring that everyone had a great experience. This is my second FSS race and I look forward to participating in future races (hopefully Washington ). Thanks again for a great day.

Hi Finish Strong,
I just wanted to say thank you to your wonderful team out at Nelson's Bay. My chip/strap came off in my wet suit removal and I didn't notice it but your crew did on my way out with the bike and said go ahead, don't worry and you know what?
When I came back into the transition area before I stepped on the mat, they had found it in my wet suit mess I guess and replaced it on my ankle and I got all my splits! That is what I call a full service race.

Thanks again,
Julee
