Transition was smooth.

Bike course was enjoyable. There were a couple of long hills that were pretty tough, but overall just an average "rolling" type course. I passed alot of people on the bike.

Transition 2

01m 56s

Comments:

Took some extra time to put on socks for the run. Been having some blister problems so I decided to be safe and wear socks.

Run

6.21 miles
08m 44s min/mile

Comments:

It was a very hot, humid day and by the time I got to the run I was over heating. Took alot of water and dumped alot of water on my head. I was hoping for a pace of 8 minutes or less but the heat slowed me down.

One of the best tris in the South! Very well organized, tons of volunteers and plenty of post race food and drink. Do this race, you will enjoy it!!
