  • Comments: To me this is the crown jewel of the SCTS. This race is also very special to me as this is the course that I did my first triathlon on back in 2008 and it was my 1st time to race it since then. I was able to shave 14:03 off my time from then.

  • Comments: Hard to say since this was my first race but I had 2 major complaints. First being parking. Yes there was plenty of it but no there was no organization to it. People were blocking others in and parking all over the place. Wish they had had just a few people out there to help out with this. The other was the post race activities. Granted my girlfriend and I finished towards the end of the pack, but the week before in my 5K I was greeted at the finish line with bananas and oranges and water and after this triathlon I had to actively search out an unmanned kiddie pool where I could grab a soda or water and that's it. They did have pizza but that was not what I wanted just afterwards (I guess everyone else had cooled down already). It wasn't awful and I know there's a lot that goes into this but I just expected a tiny bit more in those 2 categories (especially out of a race 15 years old).

  • Comments: Well I had a great time at my first triathlon, in quite possibly the greatest college town ever. With overall ranks of 100,104,102 in the swim,bike,run and a finish of 119 I know I need to practice transitions a lot more, really killed my placement. Oh well, off to sign up for another race!

  • Comments: I'm giving a 5 because it was a fantastic event. I have nothing to compare it to, but it wasn't lacking anything I would've added. It was very efficient and well-run.

  • Comments: Good to go back to the alma mater. Post race drink supplies were questionable, event staff didn't seem to give the same attention/consideration to those finishing in the BOP third as to those in the front (who paid the same event fee). Breakdown was already in progress as the BOP folks were finishing (not the last 5 in, but like the last 50 people in)

  • Comments: I absolutely LOVE this race! I just can't believe how idiotic I was to not eat properly. I need to focus on what made me successful in my previous races rather than trying to do something more than what I know to work for me. I now have plenty of time to gear up for the SC Half. I'll be learning from this race for a long time!

  • Comments: This was an amazing experience for me. The people were so awesome. I got encouragement from everyone. On the run, some girl high-fived me as she passed on her way to the finish. As I was walking to the car the final two people crossed the finish line with everyone cheering for them. It's just such a great sport when the people who are bringing up the rear get as much applause as the winner! I learned a lot about how hard I can push myself even when my entire body is freaking out telling me to quit because I'm going to drown. Couldn't be happier with this race. I really learned that I do have a lot of mental toughness and i can do anything I set my mind to. I am so hooked on this sport now. I can't wait for the next race :)

  • Comments: The race started about 7 minutes late, but the reason was becuase there was a big rain wave that pasted over and they wanted to see what was gong to happen with it.

  • Comments: This was one of the best days in my life. I set a goal to participate in my first triathlon and to finish in less than 1:30. That seemed very lofty considering my physical condition 6 months ago. I DID IT!! I loved it too. It was killer, but I loved it. Thank you to Katie Malone for guiding me to my first Triathlon. Because I was on the road every week for work, I was not able to take complete advantage of her coaching, but she led by example more than she realizes. I know with dedication I can improve a ton. I plan to keep working at this sport for years to come.

  • Comments: Setup events is the best race company I've ever dealt with. All of their races are great. I would guess that I'll probably be back next year.
