Comments:

Bouys were placed way further out than previous years. The consensus was this was more like a 1000 meter swim. Got slightly off course on first leg but easily corrected and rounded first bouy well. Couldnt see second turn bouy due to sunlight in eyes until approach but managed to stay on course quite well.

One of the best sprints in South Carolina, organized by a great company, Setup Events. I rated it a 4 because Augusta 70.3 is still the most enjoyable race I have ever done.

The triathlon made a lot of sense as I could fit the training around early mornings and other times that wouldn't eat too much into my family time. Things never go completely to plan do they?

Both the Lake Triathlon Shoe CX210TRI and the Lake Road Shoe CX225 offer distinct advantages. I tested both shoes and found them to be extremely comfortable, good looking and durable.
