  • Comments: Really liked this race. Flat with very moderate temperatures. Loved my results as I'd hoped to break 6:30 publicly, 6:00 secretly. It was bittersweet without my wife there to share it. She was pretty bummed on Saturday to miss the race. It would have been her first HIM, too. The bike felt easier than I'd expected. I felt that my training had really prepared me for the race. The split transition was not ideal. Didn't affect my race, but single transition is certainly more convenient. Unfortunately I think TryCharleston is stuck with the dual transition layout due to traffic issues. My wife has scoped out the White Lake Half on May 14th for her to do. Sounds like a similarly flat course. I'm seriously considering joining her in this race as my recovery has gone smoothly so far. Might as well make use of all this training, right?

  • Comments: In the end, I'm pleased with this race. It was never going to be a super race for me -- my training was aimed at the Palmetto Half, not this race. But in my HIMs last year, I was aiming to go sub-5 both times and circumstances ruined that goal each time, so I am thrilled with the result. I finally got the bogeyman of sub-5 out of the way. Now I can worry about something else, like going 4:30. ;-)
