  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Lots of people cheated on the swim by missing the first turn buoy and were never made to go back. Too bad because this was a qualifying event for nationals. The event details stated that there would be gels on the run - no gels. Post event food was not great - I was expecting Outback since that's what was served in previous years. But the race course was pretty good and the competition was excellent. Lots of fast racers in this event.

  • Comments: I'm fairly happy with my performace in the race this weekend. I wish my run time was better. In the end I qualified for nationals and I definitely learned some things about nutrition, hydration and racing in the mid-Carolina summer heat

  • Comments: I'll do it again next year. Other then the swim directly into the rising sun, the lake is a great swim and the full distance cannot be seen from shore so it is less intimidating. Well marked, roads a little rough for long stretches. Nice rolling bike ride, no serious hills. I liked the lay out of the run because mile ~3.5 to 5 is a rolling straightaway and you can see the turn for the last mile into the park where it's mostly downhill and shaded.

  • Comments: The race was well organized, plenty of volunteers, lots of water tables on the run and good post-race food. The condition of the roads is beyond their control but something to take in to account for anyone who might be thinking about this race or the SC HIM.

  • Comments: I think I need to start competing to have fun and not for time. I am reaching the conclusion that I will probably never be competitive on the bike or in the water, so I may as well just have a fun and forget about time.

  • Comments: Please have more visible buoys in the water. NEED A LOT MORE PORTALETS!!!!!!!. That would be nice for the upcoming SC Half. Better food at the end of the race.

  • Comments: Good race - it's very well run EXCEPT they need more buoys. I've noticed this at several of their races now, they need about 1 more in each direction.

  • Comments: They needed more lifeguards and the extra sighting buoys would have been nice, but other than that no complaints. It was pretty dang hot, but I tolerated it ok. LOVED meeting DeCracker! Sooper nice guy- hope to hange out with him more at the SC Half. Wanted to get a picture with him and Barqhead (who finished 2nd in our AG after having to swim extra to get around a missed buoy!) We need to have a plan next time for meeting up!

  • Comments: Great time, and met some good guys from my hometown. I met both of my goals for this race. 1. No stopping or back stroking on the swim or run. 2. Under 3 hours (modified after the bike to under 2:45) I am progressing faster than expected and might be able to complete a 1/2 Ironman this year
