Extreme Veteran 1942 In front of computer when typing this. | Subject: Suggestions for early season tris in/around NC Hey all. Thinking about next year. It looks like some things are converging that are going to make July-end of tri season 2010 a little tricky for me, so I was wondering what early-season events people would recommend. I am already planning White Lake (either the sprint or the half) and that tobacco rd half marathon. What else? Races close-ish to the triangle would be best. |

Kinetic half? Is that a nice event? And that Boston thing...how do you get invited (grin). I have until about end June to get everything in, so anything after June is a no-go for me. No Pinehurst (thank goodness! haha). |

Wilmington YMCA Triathlon Ironman 70.3 Augusta Pinehurst Triathlon Oly Beach2Battleship Half or Iron That beaverdam race might be fun! April 10. I think the half marry in Cary is March 21, so the timing on those is pretty good, with White Lake a month later. Everything else is too late for me... |

Master 1240 Knightdale/Raleigh | Subject: RE: Suggestions for early season tris in/around NC There seems to be more races in the 1st half of the season anyway. You can really pack June. I'm not doing all this, but I'm considering a lot of it. The ones I've settled on so far are in bold. Buckhorn is tempting.

165 | Subject: RE: Suggestions for early season tris in/around NC How about that new HIM in Little Washington in April. The venue is quite nice and it certainly will be flat. The swim will be in the river. Not quite a clear as White Lake but the road is alot smoother than the White Lake bike route. |

New user 6 NC | Subject: RE: Suggestions for early season tris in/around NC I am extremely new to triathlons and the Tri Roanoke Valley Sprint Triathlon http://www.triroanokevalley.com/ in Roanoke Rapids (just south of VA on I-95) is the first race I competed in. It is held in early April and in its 2nd year the race had around 100 participants. I am new to tri's, but some of the more experienced competitors praised the course and expressed how challenging it was for a sprint tri. The race is designed by Hawaii Iron Man finishers and they also held pre-race seminars last year to give some of us newbies some good pointers. I definately plan on doing it again in 2010. |

Elite 3395 Raleigh | Subject: RE: Suggestions for early season tris in/around NC A couple of thoughts on peoples poposed schedules: Scottie, I agree with Carol about the end, and beware the NAtions Tri is 2 weeks before Augusta. Do you want to do an Olympic 2 weeks before a 1/2IM? Mark: the Beaver Dam Oly and the Centennial Sprint are the same weekend (I think.) I am running: The Tobacco Marathon 3/21 The Beaver Dam Oly OR the Centennial Sprint in April Gary Kirby in June Maybe BASF Smile Train sprint also in June Triangle Tri Augusta in September and Pinehurst olympic. Bolded stuff is fairly certain, I may shift other and would consider White Lake. I wont return to Mayo Lake as I hated the off road run. Doug |

Expert 987 Durham, North Carolina | Subject: RE: Suggestions for early season tris in/around NC Don't know if you would consider Stokesdale (Just north of Greensboro, NC) close to the Triangle or not, but Setup Events puts on a Sprint race at Belews Lake the end of April. It's a full 750m OWS, wetsuit legal, and 13 or 14 mile Bike and 5K run. Chance to use your wetsuit vs. a lot of early Sprints that are inside pool swims. |
