  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: Driving up to Raleigh Friday and doing the expo and packet pick up took a load off of Saturday. One thing was the 35 minute drive from T2 to the swim start and T1. Once the bike was dropped off there was no going back to check it so you had to make sure everything wsa good to go. Other than that it was a great race.The volunteers were great. and there were lots of aid stations. If I never do this race again its only because of the hills.

  • Comments: The IM guys took their game up a notch this year- wonderful support, loads of pre-race info, etc. Thanks Brian Myrick for all your responses to questions- it was great. The spectators and supporters/volunteers were amazing- best I have ever had. It was a really fun race, except for the painful parts, but those translate into memories in time, and thats OK.

  • Comments: The volunteers at this race are AMAZING! I should know, I was one of them Saturday, and raced on Sunday ;). Still, this is not a cyclist-friendly area by motorists, and there will be backlash against the race by the motoring public. Which I hate. It's such a good event! Oh, and did I miss the beer tent? Thought we had one of those last year...
