  • Comments: I think this was a good race, but WAY faster than any of us expected. It was supposed to be my first tri last year, but I was scared that the swim was too long. I think that’s funny now!! I would do this race again, but really only if it fit in my schedule nicely…it’s not an automatic repeat. The t-shirts were super lame in my opinion and sometimes that’s half the fun- getting a new t-shirt. Plus, they were out of XL’s when Kraig tried to get his shirt….poor planning. Otherwise, I don’t have many complaints. Good turkey chili at the finish, that was different!

  • Comments: Ya know, I will beat myself up because I thought I could just go out and perform great without having done this before....BUT this was the first one I had done... ever. So, based on my time, I can only go up from here...:). Event was handled great. I think I have been bitten by the tri bug. I did lose a $300 watch though. A garmin 305...anyone see it ...please let me know.

  • Comments: I really enjoyed this race, despite various problems. They had tons of volunteers - who even cleaned up the cups on the 5K course (it was getting kind of messy). The website isn't quite honest on the amount of hills on the run portion, but that's a matter of perspective. It was great. I'm looking forward to next year already. Oh, and they gave us socks in our goody bags. How cool is that?

  • Comments: I loved the course, I certainly enjoy the hills better then a flat course like Parris Island. Will do again next year.

  • Comments: Clemson is a deep fielded race. When I saw my overall finish at the site, I was ok with it because I did drop two minutes from my time last year. I know this is an incredibly competivie field. But when I saw my run time, I was upset. I KNOW I can do better than that. It was a huge opportunity to move up in the rankings if I had just put in an average run performance for myself. But that was all I could do today. I know in my heart that I raced as fast as I could today. My poor body just needs a little rest. So I am pleased with my effort and very happy that I improved my overall time from last year.

  • Comments: I think I like doing triathlons. I have always played sports that I could physically slow or change the way my opponents played to give me an advantage, but this is all on me. The first 2 races I did I finished in the 59% and this one I was 56% so I guess I'm getting better. There were some strong Clydesdales at this race so I'm assuming that the level of most of the racers were a little higher on this one. I looked for but didn't see anybody that post on this web site. Hopefully I'll see some of you at Lake Murray.

  • Comments: Stayed to watch the awards because I needed my coach to carry me back to my poor little car. Realized that if I had raced as a novice (which would have been reasonable considering this was just my 2nd tri- last year I did one tri and one du)I would have come in 2nd place. CRAP. I guess that's why they say hindsight is 20/20. I was pleased to have finished in the top half of women, even if I was in the bottom half of my age group. It's a very competitive age group. After all, Barqhead is in it!! And she's MUCHO FAST!
