  • Comments: About the same time as last year so I'm a little disappointed in that. But, I did not really start to train until later in the year the previous.

  • 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.

  • Comments: I still would rather do most other races than this, but it's a great chance to meet a bunch of local friends. After the awards, we went to Wild Wing with friends for some wings, beers, race stories, and general unwinding. That was, by far, the best part of the race day!

  • Comments: I still love Clemson - it was my second year doing this race. The reason I gave the "lots of volunteers to help" question a no is because they were letting people through registration ONE PERSON AT A TIME. It was a freaking nightmare at the beginning. Bad on their part. Other than that, there were plenty of volunteers, but not exactly in the right places. Also, they played the national anthem AFTER the junior elites were already rounding the first buoy. That was kind of odd. Just a note that I will definitely do this race next year, if I can. The race shirts were way cool this year! And the course is just - to me - a fun one to start the year with. It felt good to do this race.

  • Comments: I can't comment on the post race activities, because after my cool down run, I left to go to my daughter's dance recital an hour away from the race that started at noon. This course is always challenging. It is short, hilly and mentally a humdinger. I believe I can achieve a 1:10 on this course. That is what I was gunning for. So that is why I am disappointed with my 1:13 even though I placed 2nd in my age group and 21st overall. The female winner, btw, is a professional triathlete from Austria who finished 9th overall at IMAZ this year. This is a deep-fielded race. I am just disappointed that I did not perform to my potential during it.

  • Comments: Not a great performance. I was tired and couldn't count it towards a good result but I was glad I raced it and did learn something along the way.
