  • 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
