They're both on the same day and I'm leaning towards Mission Man. . I live in Chapel Hill so Mission Man is closer. Any reason why I should hit Buckhorn instead? Who's in for each?

I live near Buckhorn, so I'm in for that one.

Swim is nice, bike is rolling but has one killer hill that will make you use bad words, and run is a nice out and back but it's hot - little shade.

Of course, we would love to have all the Raleigh area peeps head east!

Never done Buckhorn but have done Mission Man twice- love it. Still one of my favorite races. That run has some nasty short hills but it is a very well supported race and a beautiful setting.

So I ended up doing Buckhorn. I'm super lazy about writing race reports, but I'll say that was an honest course that required work the entire time. I'd do it again and glad I made the trip. Thanks!

The boat was being tossed around. Someone noted that there were whitecaps on the waves. Another guy said, “This is going to be challenging.” I began to wonder what he meant by 'challenging'.

All you have to do is say you’re a triathlete and you intimidate the whole world. No matter how much you bench press or what you lift or how many squats you can do.
