  • Comments: My first OWS in 3 years went about as one would expect for a 3 year gap between races. Plenty of room for improvement. Bike was disappointing as well. I have much to learn.

  • Comments: Good course, especially for 1st timers. I was shocked to see that no EMS was on site and there was a crash on the bike and no ambulance was called. At least one EMS should be at all races...Setupevents need to fill in those major pot holes at 9.3 mile on the bike course. Other than that, good race.

  • Comments: One of the best sprints in South Carolina, organized by a great company, Setup Events. I rated it a 4 because Augusta 70.3 is still the most enjoyable race I have ever done.

  • Comments: Few volunteers - I suppose because it was cold and rainy. The turnaround cone on the run course had no course marshal - the runners coming back told me that they thought it was probably the cone. Based on the distance I ran, that seems right. I don't really blame the race organizers for that; it was probably a struggle to get enough volunteers on a morning like that.

  • Comments: As this was my first tri I don't have much to compare to but from what I've seen and heard from other sprints and compared to a local 5k with the same participation it is what I expected.

  • Comments: In the end my run and bike where enough to overcome my bad swim and secure the age group win. The fact that this was a local race with tons of friends and my wife and son there to cheer me on made it very special. And winning was somewhat a validation of the recent sponsorship deal. What a relief! This race was also a validation of my goal to race competitively at the Elite/Open level. If I can swim like I do in training, shave another minute or two off my bike split, and get the 5k time down below 19, I’ll be ready to toe the line with the best of the best. I’ve got more work to do to get there, but this year’s time is almost 5 minutes less than my time last year, which is a good indication that I’m on the way there.

  • Comments: Setup does a great job putting on these races. Everything runs smoothly. Moes grill had the food which was good, and there was plenty of drinks. This race seems to have a lot of families attend and is a fun one to do. I will definitely do it again next year if I'm able.

  • Comments: First my prayers go out to the lady who had some troubles on the run course. I don't know what happened but I hope she is OK. This was my best race yet. I'm so jacked up about my run. I also met a goal of getting above 50% overall. I was top 49% My girlfriend and I also got to meet Pam and her husband. After the race. Turned out we were sitting right beside each other. Moe's did a great job with the food.

  • Comments: If I sound a little down it's because I am. I really wanted to do well at this race and I let myself down and embarassed myself by not preparing properly before the race started. I hate to keep referencing St.A's but we were focused for that race. There was the social aspect but we all focused on our performance and it showed. Here it was just different. BTers Mike Wilson and Donna Wade had great race times here. I think Donna had 2nd in her AG. She's a solid performer and competitor and anyone in the upstate lucky enough to train with her will be better for it. Right now I need to step back, refocus my training and diet and see what the rest of my race schedule will be. I will have a busy fall schedule but we'll see about the rest of this summer.
