• Comments: This is a great race and it's only in it's second year. It's organized extremely well. The venue is at a really nice state park - nice family destination. The transition area has plenty of room on a flat, soft grass surface. The swim is in a beautiful, clean lake (Lake James). The bike course is nice, but roads were a little rough. The run course is a gorgeous trail that BEATS YOU SILLY. The post race food (pancakes) were great. The AG and overall awards were nice plaques. The swag was awesome too (technical tee, custom-printed beer glass, water bottle for bike, finisher's medal, Hammer Nutrition samples). Plus the proceeds go to Pathways (crisis center for youth). Good value at $60. The event consisted of only 83 triathletes plus 17 duathletes this year (plus one team). It will definitely grow as it's a high quality race and few other choices this early in the season for an olympic-distance race.

• Comments: I really like this race for the fact that the others I do are big, this had a really good personal feel to it and besides - I got 3rd in my AG so this is the first "hardware" moment for me since I started tri's. Next year - more transition practice, a full wetsuit and my P2C that will be in next week and I will be set. Ofcourse, a new bike is no replacement for bike time. This was a tough race and I got to meet some great people.
