  • Comments: I have mixed feelings about this race. I know there is no way to stop the effects of a hurricane. The swim was a funky course and we had to swim against the current. We had to run through mud and pine cones to get back to our transition. The road hazzards were mostly an act of nature. I didnt like that the volunteers didnt open the water bottles for the bikers. I hated the path that we started out on. It was a flat tire waiting to happen. I was expecting a flat course and it wasnt. I say that but if you ask some of the people from Virginia they thought it was. It all depends on your idea of flat. Some of the run aid stations were really good and others just had drinks poured and you had to stop and figure out what you wanted. I liked the parts of the run that were in the woods and running on a wooden bridge. I didnt like getting a tick on me!! Thinking about this race now it wasnt as bad as I first thought. Nobody said that a half was supposed to be easy. HOWEVER, this makes me wonder.
