  • Comments: Jones Racing picked up the race this year; they did a great job and it was well staffed. I have run this race for several years and it was one that I enjoy. The new bike course is a bot of a technical challenge. Good support from the local neighborhood. Good place to swim. We had to wait for the sun to rise this year; the early start time is a good thing but makes for a long day.

  • Comments: The early start was a double edge sword - usually we have a ton of sun in our faces on the swim and the run is hot. We had a great weather and the heat was not there. The newer bike course is pretty technical. Race use to sell out but no more. Had more vendors in the past too. Still it is local and right in my backyard (the majority of the bike course ride weekly )

  • Comments: The change in the bike course, while not the fault of the organizers, really hurts this race. There are several high speed hairpin turns where you could end up as a hood ornament on a parked car. The road was falling apart in several areas - especially on Spring Street and Depot Street. I did speak to the race director - they weren't happy about the needed changes either, but Town of Davidson did not want the race to run through downtown or across Griffin Street, hence this year's changes.

  • Comments: The parking situation - and the way we race through Davidson - it feels like Davidson really does not want this race - not sure if it is the town or the college. Setup did well with the event.

  • Comments: Big draw and a lot of top athletes. Probably too much for me as a more casual triathlete. Good race overall, but I likely won't do it again.

  • Comments: Very well organized. Great event. Only constructive criticism is not enough of a non-carbonated beverage selection post-race. Had a great race. Despite conditioning, I am beside myself at how much I've improved over just four weeks ago. I just need to train more!!

  • Comments: A very well run event. Now that event is separated into 2 days, Saturday had many strong competitors from outside the Charlotte area. There was a moving tribute to Dick Kelley a past competitor who is dealing with ALS.

  • Comments: One gripe for setupevents I thought of. Grabbed a water running on the run course just to get my mouth saturated and the water was lukewarm/hot! Too much to ask for iced down coolers of water on the course? Minor gripe, everything else was great.

  • Comments: This left me wanting more. I think I could train up for an Olympic distance fairly easily, but I see very few of them scheduled. Seems like they would be more popular since it is a much more appropriate step from a sprint event than a 70.3 and would be a little easier to hold with the shorter distances and times.
