  • Comments: I think overall this is my favorite local (to Raleigh) race I have entered. The facility is nice, the bike course is fun (and smoother this year), and the run is challenging. The volunteers here are also very helpful and friendly. Very organized! I hate that the attendance has dwindled, but hopefully it will come back. I plan to be back next year!

  • Comments: This race is great, especially early in the season. I don't understand why it is getting smaller each year. I've done it with 500 and with 115, 250-300 is probably ideal.

  • Comments: I just noticed that I actually finished in an exact tie for 57th overall place. I'm changing my place to 57th! LOL I think this is a fantastic sprint distance event. Sure, the swim is a little shorter than most, but the setup, the roads, and the run on the greenways are all fantastic with just the right amount of hills to make them a challenge. Setup, Inc. did a fantastic job as usual and the volunteers were amazing. I fully intend to do this race repeatedly in the future. It's a shame that the number of racers is down so much, but the number of available races is way up. There were still enough to make it a fun event. When I noticed only 6 racers in my age group, I was determined to push as well as I could. This middle of the pack'er might have managed an award. I did push strong for me, and came up short in 5 of 6 place. I'm not the slightest bit disappointed. Kerr Lake Olympic is coming up in 5 weeks. There my goal will just be to pace myself to finish comfortably and

  • Comments: This was a good race. I enjoyed the length, the difficulty, and the facility. The roads we biked on could use a repave, but other than that it was another well run event by Setup!

  • Comments: The volunteers were extremely helpful and cheerful. Well run race. For me this was a challenging course on the bike and the run, which is what I was looking for. I went into it with a laid back attitude, which helped on the swim portion. I will do this race again - I had a blast! Thank you BT - couldn't have/wouldn't have done it without you!

  • Comments: I love this race! The TT start makes it hard to know how you're doing during the race. It's a great bike course even though a couple hills kick my butt, the run course is nice mostly greenway, and the swim is short. :)

  • Comments: I am really proud of my wife. She did this race for the first time this year (as a matter of fact her first tri). She did really good and now she has the bug as well. She already ordered a wetsuit and wants to get clipless pedals and shoes for her bike. We are doing the Kristi Lake Tri on May 15th.

  • Comments: SETUP EVENTS and the folks at RIVERWOOD did absolutely great! The drivers were kind and watched for bikers. I will definately do this race next year. I missed 3rd place Podium by 50 seconds. That walking I did costs me, but hey, this was only my second Tri. Overall I was pleased with my performance and I met some wonderful people!
