• Comments: Everyone seemed to be using this as a tune-up race for Raleigh 70.3. The sprint would be a good first race, as the swim was well controlled and plenty for spectators to watch. my only Tri-snob comment is the timing results didn't have T1 and T2, only each segment. Also I think the swim chip map was like 150yds from swim exit uphill. so the times are sort of accurate... but you have to take with a grain of salt.

• Comments: I liked this race. I think the swim was long and it started late but thats OK. Bike was challenging but nothing too bad, and the run was nice, inside the park and quite scenic. Part of me liking the run was that I felt good. I imagine those hills would be horrible on cramping quads!!

• Comments: Couple of things: Work out the park entry fees ahead of time like at FS Half. More efficient packet pickup morning of race. Going to North Raleigh on a Friday afternoon is not convenient. Bring back the pizza or something with carbs and protein. Loved the food truck idea at FS Half. USAT official needs to have her act together and not waste time searching for stuff to talk about. Aside from that I enjoyed racing with everyone and trying to chase them down. Didn't work.

• Comments: FS Series is a class act. Small race, but I can see good things happening to this organization. They're quality. I would not hesitate to do another.

• Comments: Had a good time. Weird to be racing this distance, especially when training to go long. I think this only my 4th o;ympic. A hard course on a cold day.

• Comments: Overall this was a good race. Yes the water is cold but not so much that you can't swim in it. We were deffinately fortunate to get the race in before the storms rolled in. There were multiple tornadoes that came through the Raleigh area later in the afternoon. I used this race as a training block. My "A" race is my 1st HIM in 4 weeks.

• Comments: Lame t-shirt. The event is called Beaverdam because the park is called Beaverdam so the t-shirt should not say Beaver Dam. A DJ was playing throughout the event and that was nice. Changing facilities on site (bonus points!) I like the cow bell someone was ringing towards the end of the run!

• Comments: This was a great race and I had FUN. I would definitely do it again as a season opener. Not very many participants or supporters for this race which was likely a good thing since there were no port-a-pots! We had to stand in line at the changing room building. Also, I did not see many kayaks out in the water and certainly not around the buoys. I noticed people rounding the buoys to the wrong side which would have cut some distance for them.

• Comments: This was a great location but kind of a downer as far as atmosphere. It was very obvious most of the racers were using this as a start of season warm up race, but there were enough participants that weren't in this elite category that deserved more hype. By the time the last racers finished everything was broken down and there wasn't anyone there cheering them on. There wasn't music playing or much of a party feel. I will definitely run this race again next year, but I hope it will become more festive as it grows in participation number. You could tell this was it's first year. Overall it was a very useful race. I was able to do some OWSing, practice my transitions and nutrition, and even had a good run. That helped my confidence a lot. So that is what a good run feels like? :)
