  • Comments: this is a great race too bad turnout is low for it. the 2 most important things to know: 1. if you have kids this is the race for you; they have a playground and swingset, the have a pond with swimming area, and they have a concession stand with bathrooms. the run is amazingly spectator friendly. 2. DO NOT WEAR A TRI SUIT THAT HAS WHITE IN IT, the water is very heavy orange clay (mud bottom), if you swim in this water for more than 5 minutes then your white tri suit will be a brown tri suit. Post race they ran out of water, soda, gatorade, and snacks. Awards were great at this race, they were metal plaques that had race name and date. This was one of the best races in the south carolina tri series! Cool video of the event: http://vimeo.com/105003847

  • Comments: So after resting and cleaning up, I looked at the results page. I never carry a watch with me on a race, so all of the times were news to me. I was shocked to see the results: 1st in age group. I did it!!! I finally placed in an event. The feeling was sublime. I know, I know, its a small race and a sprint, but still, coming from a place where I have no athletic background and injuries galore, its a good feeling to see your work pay off in this way. I love this sport!

  • Comments: Wow...great race. I beat a lot of guys I don't usually beat, and felt super strong. My only qualm: Third. Again. 4-for-4 this season. Actually, if I had bee a couple minutes slower, I would have been out of the Masters OA top three, and would have won my AG.

  • Comments: I had a blast. I love to race. I met another BTr today whose name is Keith. Chatted with him for a while post race. Looking forward to seeing him again at Lake Murray. I am a bit disappointed with my bike because I know it was a really good ride except for the train incident. But that is out of my control and quite a few of us had to deal with it. I was just so grateful to actually participate today. Also pleased with my first OWS of the season cuz I'm not usually a strong open water swimmer.
