  • Comments: Even with all my screw-ups this was still a great race. It was more of a hard training day for me and I really enjoyed it. I think since it was just a training race, I didn't let things get me down.. and I'm glad. Even with the 2 minute penalty, I still beat my push goal time of 1:40 (1:37:45 before penalty). :) This is one of my favorite race venues and I will be back.

  • Comments: Ran into Carol (Running in NC) before the race, she looked like she had a good race. This was a PR race for me by about 7 minutes, most of that is the bike. Go figure, riding more makes you faster:)

  • Comments: Overall time was better than expected. Run was harder than I expected and I was surprised at how bad I felt on it. Is that because I didn't train enough, was just fatigued from rest of race or nutritional issues? Not sure. How much time would a tri bike save me? I'd be very interested because all the bikes passing me were tri bikes. Either way, nice race.

  • Comments: Great race overall. Beautiful course. Be sure to allow plenty of time to get to venue and park. Not too easy to find in dark. Could use more portapotties. Biggest suggestion: more buoys on the swim, especially on fogg or low-vis days!

  • Comments: The race itself, with the organization and venue probably is my favorite of the NCTS series. It is interesting that as I was finishing the bike, the winners were finishing the run. Partly because they started 18 minutes ahead of me and partly because they are way faster than me. Then when I was finishing the run, The last of the bikers were coming into transition area, which kind of felt like the whole circle of life took place at the race.
