  • Comments: This is a good year end of race - lake is clear and warm. Really like the time trial start - bike course was good, with some rough roads (trick was to ride on the section worn down by the cars) - and the run had tons of shade - Being up in Rockingham County - lots of folks from Virginia had come down for the race. This was my travel race and likely final race for the year

  • Comments: It was my first Triathlon, and loved the pick for the time trial start. I've never swam in a lake and not a fan of crowds. Wish I was a stronger runner, but I'm not. Lots of room to improve.

  • Comments: Would have given it a "5" but they said on the website that this was in Greensboro...it is further than that in Stokesdale, which is kinda far to go for a sprint. Becky loved it from a spectator standpoint- easy to get around and it didn't take me all day to finish! Nice race...I might do it again; would definitely do it again if it were closer! I am a little disappointed in my bike and run times- would have liked to come closer to 22 on the bike and 21 on the run, but thats OK- the course was definitely more along the Triangle course than White Lake! Had a good race overall though...no major errors. Just methodical and fun. 34th out of 229 men, and that includes 8 pros.

  • Comments: Race started about 10 minutes late. Pizza/hot dogs at the end was a nice treat. However,you had to wait in line for 20 minutes to get the food. That was not good.

  • Comments: Really enjoyed this race. Water was clear. Bike was short but challenging (minus the hillbillies that decieded it was a good idea to drive 20mph down the road where cyclists were going 20+mph and having to pass them on double yellows). Everything in thier control was top notch. Would do this race again (but maybe camp the night before). This was a great tuneup for White Lake HIM in two weeks.

  • Comments: 1. The swim is a little long so don't panic if your times are slower than you'd expect for the distance. 2. The first 5 miles of the bike feel like they are all uphill. At least that's what I wrote in both my race reports 3. The first mile of the run is, pretty much, a long gradual uphill. It hurts! BUT, since it's an out-and-back, the last mile is pretty much down hill. Yay! 4. Nice lake but venue was just OK for a 2 hour drive
