  • Comments: This could have been the most unlucky day of my entire life. Not the worst...just the most unlucky. Let me start at the night before the race. Figured I'd make a couple changes to my bike. One of these changes was to take off my old speedometer which was held on by a couple zip ties. I was being very careful trying not to scratch the frame, taking the cut really slow. It finally popped off and somehow I sliced the sh!t out out my middle finger. It was a nasty cut, I'm not sure if I should have gotten stitches or not. Took at least half an hour to stop bleeding. Anyhow, on to race day. I woke up at 4:00. On the road (3 hour drive) by 4:30. I should be getting there just as registration opens. At around 5:30, stopped and got gas. I arrived to Beaufort just before 7:00 which is 10 miles from the race sight. At this point I realize that I don't know where my wallet is. I pulled over to look for it. Opened my door and searched the whole car. Nothing. Figured I must have

  • Comments: After a few DQs, I was 23rd OA out of 496 and 3rd in my age group. So I moved up about 40 spots over all and 9 AG spots in a much bigger field. Coolio. I love PI...and it's pretty cool to be getting older but to still be getting significantly faster.

  • Comments: The race was well handled by the organizers, and there were lots of friendly people there. Running over roads that were torn up was a bit rough. The pool and bike course were fantastic.

  • Comments: This is a great race! Set Up Events did a great job organizing, and it is really nice of the Marines to let us do it in that location, which is really cool. My dad was at Parris Island in the 1950s and we got to ride around the base afterwards, so he really enjoyed it too. Now if I can just convince him to do a triathlon ...
