Is anybody else planning to attend this event? It is listed in the "Other" category at SetUp Events. I have done it in the past and it is a pretty good venue. It gets pretty warm for the later people but the 7:00 am start helps. My younger brother is coming into town and this will be his first triathlon. He has dome multiple combat tours in the Middle East and is finally back for a while

I didn't know that it still existed!  I might have planned on it, but too late now.  Good luck to you and your brother!

It's June 16 in downtown Greenville. http://www.setupevents.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=event_detail&eventID=2153

They haven't done a very good job promoting the race. It is not part of the :Go Tri Sports" series nor the Y series. I think it is being done independently by the Y but Set-Up is doing the timing. Based on past experience, Set-Up won't get or stay involved is a race that they don't expect to be a success. I expect this will be another well run event to continue Greenvilles reputation as a cycling and triathlon friendly community. Great race happening today with the USA Pro Cycling event.

It's a good race.  The lanes in the pool are fairly narrow, so passing is hard, but it's over before you even realized it began, so no big deal.  The bike is fun, with a nice hill or two and some slightly technical turns, which I like.  The run is mostly on a good (paved) trail.

Details here:  http://setupevents.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=event_detail&eventID=2153

I'm not sure why it was removed from the SC series, but its removal has clearly eaten into the number of participants.  The race hasn't changed though -- still a pretty fun sprint course.  I'd do it if I wasn't already racing the weekends before and after.
