1159 | Subject: Luray Sprint or Culpepper Sprint Anyone here familiar with both? I am trying to decide which one I want to do for my sprint in August - I had planned on doing Goochland, however, my navy reserves drill is that weekend, and its a PITA to try and resked...so I am reevaluating Luray is the first weekend of the month; Culpepper is the middle weekend Schedule wise - I am doing the Colonial Beach Oly next weekend (14th) - so i'll have about 3 weeks before the Luray - and not looking at another Sprint/Oly until end of September (the weekend of the 28th)... would love thoughts? |

New user 55 Pleasant Grove, Utah | Subject: RE: Luray Sprint or Culpepper Sprint The Culpepper Sprint is on the 4th of August (Sunday), not the middle weekend, with the international distance the day before (Saturday). I'll see you in Colonial Beach! I'm also planning on the Culpepper International on the 3rd. I'm a rookie and haven't done either, so I can't offer any advice on that. http://www.trifind.com/va.html?page=1&year=2013&month=8 Edited by CRS 2013-07-06 8:37 AM |

Expert 1384 Charlottesville, Virginia | Subject: RE: Luray Sprint or Culpepper Sprint I've heard really good things about Luray, but have never been able to go myself. I've done both Culpeper distances and like that race alot. Nice bike and challenging run out of transition. My biggest challenge with Culpeper has been the heat a couple of years. You can read my race reports for more details. I'll be bummed to miss it this year. btw, Giant Acorn is a lot of fun and it has that late start. Usually has been perfect weather as well. I preferred the old course to the new one, but still an excellent race and a great way to end the season! Stu |

Stu thanks for the info - i'm debating between Oly/Sprint for Giant Acorn right now - my big race is the B2B HIM end of October - so i'm not sure if a month out is too late for an Oly or not - but i'm looking forward to it - whichever one I go with |

Extreme Veteran 523 Brambleton, VA | Subject: RE: Luray Sprint or Culpepper Sprint UPDATE - Someone mapped the Culpeper OD Bike course on Strava. According to Strava the OD Bike course has 1,288' of gain. The profile also looks hillier (sp?) than anticipated. Should be a load of fun. Edited by swiss tri 2013-07-31 6:27 AM |

Extreme Veteran 523 Brambleton, VA | Subject: RE: Luray Sprint or Culpepper Sprint UPDATE 2 : Another fine person mapped the Luray Course on Strava According to Strava, Luray has 1,281' of elevation gain. Comparing Culpepper and Luray. Luray has fewer, but larger hills. Culpeper - lots of a up and down. I think my deraileur will get one killer work out! |
