Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

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.

Comments: Great venue. Beautiful transition area, swim course, run course. Bike course OK. Run was tough, but enjoyable and pretty. Awesome potential for this race in just its first year. My first and maybe last time to win my age group (overall winner was the one guy ahead of me in my age group).

Comments: Good fun race... nice in that it wasn't crowded at all and for me, the perfect way to do my first Olympic. Very well organized with lots of great volunteers. I'd do this again and recommend - but run hills before you race this course.
