Charleston Sprint #3

Not much changed between SCSupermom's comments except for the bike. 

Race #2 did not have you dismount but it does have you slow down quite a bit and cross over a part of sand and packed dirt.  You could only pass through single file as race volunteers had it coned off and directing traffic.  They say it was b/c the sand was deep on either side and they didn't want anyone going into it or trying to avoid it on a different course and puncture a tire.  I would think they will have the construction completed by the next race.

The course is very flat and fast.  and the pond is a little murky but at least it smells ok.  very shallow in certain areas.  Didn't find it too crowded but then again I stayed away from the inside.

Didn't stay for too long after the race as it started raining by the time we finished.  Just your standard fruit, donuts, bagels, gatorade and water.  Couple of vendors as well but nothing major. 

As a first time race, I really enjoyed it.
