Charleston Sprint Tri Series thread

I've done the race ten times. Once after a rainstorm it smelled pretty funky in one corner (near the start line) of the pond, but other than that, it's been perfectly fine.

It was gorgeous out there today! Well, except for the wind out on Folly Rd. But not having to deal with any heat or humidity really made the run feel fantastic.

So, did anyone else lay their bike down out there? I did. :-o No injuries except for a tiny abrasion on my hand. I braked for a dropped bottle, skidded the back tire and just put it right down on the shoulder coming out of the park. There was no one around, and I was back up and out of there as fast as possible. I figure the adrenaline boost helped make up for any lost time!

Came close, I hit a puddle that was almost all road paint and it kicked out my rear tire...  I was able to stay upright but ended up causing another cyclist to go into the grass, luckily he was ok and got back on.  I appologized profusely and he took it in stride, I felt like an a$$ though.

I agree conditions for the run were awesome, PR'd my 5k and Sprint distance time.

Wow, fantastic! Congratulations!

Definitely do it if it's allowed!! That's not cheating, that's just good strategy.

I'll be there Sunday, too.

I have been so focused on the run and totally slacking on the bike. I just hope that the roads are dry this time.

I will be there this Sunday 8/12/12. This is my first Tri...so I am pretty pumped. Not so much about the swim...have not really trained for the swim. Should be fun! See ya'll there.
