Greenville Triathlon

well, it's a pool swim, so that's pretty different. The bike course is longer and pretty hilly, but no more so than Clemson. There is a longer climb in the Greenville race, but it's not as steep as the one on Cherry Road.

The run is a 2 loop course partially on pavement and partially up a trial that is essentially a gully. The trail is uphill pretty good, the rest of the course is more flattish than Clemson.

Hope that helps...

Last year I raced as a novice and it started one at the time every 10 seconds. Most of the traffic jams were at the lane changes.

The biggest problem is that people don't put accurate swim times down. Either they sandbag or they are overly optimistic. That causes the biggest amount of problems with folks swimming on top of each other. At one point in the race last year my lane was 3 people wide. It's usually fairly easy to pass if people stay to the right, but that was with folks going off 1 and at time. Don't know how it will work 2 at a time...
