Comments: This is a great race in a great location, sponsored by some very friendly, warm people. The TA/start-finish is based in a nice lake-side park way out in the country. It's a great place for family and friends to relax while waiting on us to return from bike and run legs. The volunteers give race proceeds to the American Cancer Society, and are so nice. The crowd support was nice, with a lot of cheering from locals. Along the bike course, specifically at police-guarded intersections the volunteers cheered us on. During the run, there were many friendly aid-station workers who cheered us along the course. The State Highway Patrol was there in force, and did a great job. It is a small race, which is nice. I recommend it to anyone wanting an NC Oly.
Comments: This was my first North Carolina race and it didn't disappoint. Set-Up, Inc. puts on a quality race, and I'm excited to do some more. It was great to know people (mostly through BT) at the race as well. I got to meet Mike (HookedOnTri) in person which was cool. The weather was absolutely fantastic (I was very worried we were going to have horrible heat and humidity, but it ended up being fantastically mild (by NC standards). All-in-all it was a great time and schedule-allowing, I'll be back again next year to see if I can better that 2nd to last in AG finish!
