  • Comments: I neede a good race to have any chance of moving up, I was 6th going into it and I doubt that this finish helped me at all. Not to be picky, but not sure if I will do this race again, it's not an olympic distance so there is nothing to compare it to, and none of the distances for this race were on, the swim was long, the run was long and the bike was 30 miles instead of 26.

  • Comments: A challanging course. It leans to bikers and runners of course. a good race thoigh. downside, walking from parking in the dark is dangerous. Bikers came by walkers several times in the dark, close calls I thought. SetUp Events should have lighting if folks are walking this far in the dark. Overall volunteers did awesome, a good event!

  • Comments: Curious what the swim times look like. Just checked and leaders were about 3 mins slower than last year. My time was 3 mins slower too. Pity OWS courses are so unreliable in terms of distance. I had a nice swim. I think the course was way long. I didn't like the new bike course with the extra 5 miles. An OLY should be an OLY, not an OLY+. Not sure I will do this race again- too hilly for my liking. I don't have a special need to conquor the rollers. Frankly I would race try to get fast at sprints. I don't really like this distance- the HIM I did was fantastic, and I like sprints. But an OLY seems like a nothing distance. Not long enough that is a real special accomplishment (for me at least), but too long to go flat out. I guess that is the trick to this- learning to do the distance. Mentally it is a tricky distance for me. I can't switch to long-distance mode and I can't be in sprint mode. I am shocked I took 56 mins to run a 10K! I ran a 5K a week ago in 19:30! Guess I should figure out

  • Comments: This is probably one of the most challenging race in the North Carolina Triathlon Series...or at least the most challenging of all of the ones in the series that I have done so far. The hills were constant on both the bike and the run. It was definately one that tested my overall ability. I would definately do this one again but would be more prepared next time!

  • Comments: The run can be questionable...it was damn hilly for a run. i live in a hilly area and practice in hills so, I'm not just whining. BIke was great...the hills int he end really made it challenging.
