2010 RACE PROGRAM
June 2010 Lake George, NY
Dear Racers & Volunteers – The 2010 North Country Triathlon is here! Whether you are racing, volunteering, or cheering we are ready for you. Everyone involved with hosting this race has deep roots in the Hague area of the Adirondack mountains and we love showing off the beauty and challenging terrain of our corner of the world. After all, it gives each of us an excuse to be at Lake George too! Those who first settled these rugged Adirondack Mountains had strength, courage, and determination, the same qualities each of our triathletes bring to this event. As a racer I know well the commitment each person puts forth to prepare for a race as challenging as ours. We thank you for choosing our event and in return we at the NCT commit to providing an event that rewards your training and travel efforts with beautiful scenery, hospitality, and a course that we’d like to race ourselves! We need more than racers to have an event though. The men and women that bring their talent to the NCT by volunteering are the real heart and soul of the event. They will be working to prepare the course and facilities for weeks before the race begins – many of their shifts working at the race will outlast every racer’s time spent on the course. Racers, I have a challenge for you, try to thank every volunteer you see out there. Without their efforts we simply could not make this event happen. Give ‘em a smile and a “Thanks for being here” every chance you get; they deserve it! As the race director for the 2nd year I’ve carefully reviewed the comments from racers and volunteers and we’ve made some changes to this year’s event to maximize the safety of our racers, volunteers, and emergency personnel. Both bike routes have been tweaked, water stop locations optimized, and the post-race party has been moved to the event site to make sure all can share their race stories of the day! Thanks to our incredible network of sponsors and volunteers for another year of support, encouragement, and participation! John Hartley, Race Director

Photo taken at the North Country Triathlon in 2007
In memory of Bill “Bo” O’Leary Very sadly Bo O’Leary passed away this spring. He was the swim part of team “Two White Heads And A Chick” with Sandy Swanson (runner) and Steve White (biking). Recalled as being one of the funniest men ever, Bo’s absence is greatly felt by his teammates and Hague. We all miss him very much.
