  • Comments: Even though there were not a lot of first timers, it was a good race to start in. Easy courses and a with-the-tide swim to make you feel fast! (Note the swim times include a 400 yd waddle/dash over a dock, through a parking lot, across the main road and winding through the T zone).

  • Comments: The volunteers were great and everything was organized from what I could tell. Instructions were clear and locations were well marked. I would have liked some mile markers on the bike though.

  • Comments: We had about 90 people from our tri club doing this race so it is always one of my favorites, the weather was perfect for racing and we had a lot of podium finishers.

  • Comments: The bike and run courses were not marked at all with mile markers, and the swim had only a couple of buoys, so it was hard to tell where I was along the way. It was a good race overall, but not worth the 7.5 hour drive, except for going with Reno and seeing Rebecca.

  • Comments: I love this race! The point to point swim and the flat bike and run, plus knowing my way around is nice. The bike is a bit rough and the crowd cuts both ways. Some times its great, adding energy, sometimes its just an unmanageable crowd.

  • Comments: Was only 10 seconds slower than last year even though my run was 2 minutes slower. Pretty much made up all that time in transition b/c my swim and bike times were about the same. Glad the season is over so I can concentrate on getting healthy and improving my running.

  • Comments: This was my second triathlon. I thought this was a great race. I will be waiting at the computer Jan. 1 to register for it again. I would tell anyone interested to do the same. This is a quickly sold out race for a reason. There were tons volunteers and the event was very organized.

  • Comments: Will probably do this one again next year...the course is just right and the race was really well organized. The swim leg, though, I have to admit is just a little daunting for a first triathlon. Swim more, Swim more, Swim more!!!

  • Comments: I did not make the cutoff to start running. So, I was bummed, but I learned alot from this race. I am glad that I did it and did not give up. It was a pretty nice event and I did have fun. I will do it again next year after learing some better swimming techniques. I loved the support that everyone gave to me.

  • Comments: Love this race, next year I will make it more of a priority, I'd love to crack the top ten in my age group. Got to meet DMark and Supermommy before the race, that was great. It's always nice to put a face with a name.

  • Comments: The swim is the best part of this race. Its a very crowded race, but I talk to more people at smaller races. Its tough to get there early enough. I will do this race again because of the swim.

  • Comments: Great race to finish off the season. The swim had a strong current, but it worked to this swimmers advantage. The bike course was fast, but rough on Greenville Loop Rd. The run was flat (of course.)

  • Comments: This is a great race...they said it was the largest on the east coast this year...pretty cool. I am now at the point in my training where I think I have maxed out - with the amount of training time I have available. I don't want my time with my wife and son to be affected...so for next year I need to get creative with finding training time...it might be time to pay for some swim instruction or tri training help???
