Race rating (4)

Comments: Great race that we were able to tie into a trip to Hilton Head to visit Brad's mom and step dad. They've made some good improvements from when we did the race a few years ago. The course gets boring, but as I told Sissy, it's a course for the spectators as they can see the athletes about 6 times during the race. Overall, a great race that I'm sure we'll do again!

Comments: very good race. small, but very well run and great conditions. it had a few issues when we did it several years ago (transition area, bathrooms, etc.), but they fixed all of the problems and put on a great race.

Comments: This was my first triathlon and my goal was to break 1:20 so I am happy with the results. overall great location, on the beach at Hilton Head Island. I live here but the Holiday Inn on the beach has a great room discount ($60) for the weekend for the racers. I would imagine that is a great way to spend a cheap weekend on Hilton Head Island. The course has 20 sheriff deputies and 25 volunteers so there is someone every 100 meters. I found he course good but my friend crashed his bike pretty bad and needed emergency services but there were none on hand and they had to call 911. After the race there is the awards ceremony and food/drinks provided everyone seemed to gather after and talk. Out of the 170 racers I saw only about 3 people who looked like they were there to win it. Everyone else looked like the average Joe, one guy had a 1960’s road bike with one of those generator lights attached to the wheel. I thought that was pretty cool because he gave it a good try even on that
