  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: The run could easily be made amazing by knocking murder hill out and adding the distance to the swamp rabbit trail especially since this is the swamp rabbit triathlon and then finishing the race on the football field inside the football stadium. post race was very disappointing, beverages and food ran out by the time 2/3rds of people had finished the race. awards started 75 minutes late and were not well announced, 85% of people took of rather than sticking around for an award that was a visor. bathrooms were not well advertised inside the football stadium and the aquatic center did not open up more than 30 minutes before the race start, there were no port-a-potties. proaxis did a great job post race teaching people to stretch and helped provide medical treatment when needed.

  • Comments: Good race and a great venue. The race started a few minutes later than announced, and awards were almost 4 hours after I finished. Tons of post race stuff going on though as far as socializing and food/drinks for the athletes.

  • Comments: This is a great race. The course is really nice, and the venue is great. There weren't a ton of volunteers today, but I understood because the weather so pretty crummy. It didn't affect my race at all.

  • Comments: I really like this course and i think it would be the best in the area if it didn't have a pool swim. the bike route is the best of any in the area at this length in my opinion, very challenging with some good hills and long climbs since it is near paris mountain. the run is also very scenic through furman's campus, on the swamp rabbit trail, and 200m track finish.

  • Comments: Good race, unfortunately my times are weird b/c their mats got unplugged, so my transition times are worked into my other times, so I don't really have an accurate idea of how I did on each section. I wish I had done better, but this was really in keeping with my current fitness level, I really went about as hard as I could. I need to get MUCH faster on the bike.

  • Comments: Good first year for the Furman race. Hot weather, which is typical for a July race in SC. Otherwise, SETUP Events puts on a decent race regardless.

  • Comments: Got first in my AG so i can't complain too much. i didn't like the pool start with each person starting single file; there were people starting the bike after the 250m swim as i was finishing it. i guess thats just a pool vs OWS preference i have now after trying both. i wish there were separate splits for the transitions, i would like to see if i improved at all in this area from my last race. knocked off a point on my race rating for this.
