  • Comments: Looked at my data after the race and I lost more than 3 minutes on the side of the road. That would have put in on the run side by side with the two guys who went 1/2. I was slowly catching them on the bike, and had put a lot of time on the one runner who could easily outrun me when my wheel cover destroyed itself. Oh well, these things happen. I contacted the wheel cover manufacturer and they'll let me buy a replacement since their cover self destructed.

  • Comments: Great race once again this year. There were two water stations you passed through twice on the run, which is unreal for a sprint course. The pool swim was very smooth and non chaotic due to the large lanes and one way traffic. The bike course was nice and rolling on mainly smooth roads with tons of volunteers at every turn. The run course is a bit sketchy with the service road. Overall a great race and i won't hesitate to do it again. This race brings out the elites big time, so you absolutely need to be ready to race your best race of the season here.

  • Comments: This race is a good one each year. Always has a very stiff competition but it is a good bike course that can test you. Top three finishers get a bottle of wine with race logo, always helps start a relaxing evening after the race with that.

  • Comments: Had a great race and a great time! Time to start training again for Dam Tri at the end of September. They didn't change my group even though I had signed up for my age group. They still entered me as a Clyde. Because of this, I got 2nd place out of the Clydes. I don't feel too badly about it since after the huge dinner I had last night, I did go to bed weighing exactly 200lbs. I'll have to contact someone for my next race though. I should be sub 190 by my next race and really shouldn't be racing Clyde.

  • Comments: The morning of the race had a huge thunderstorm that didn't let up until about 1 hour before the race. We set up transition in the rain. The roads were slick but manageable. The setup events team warned everyone about this steep hill with a sharp 90 turn at the bottom and had volunteers yelling slow down but I still watched a guy go full speed into the woods at the bottom of the hill.

  • Comments: Great race. Well run considering there were 700 people, it was raining, lightning, etc. This is the race that convinced my to take up tri's. I thought this one would be fun. It was a blast! Never been on a road bike before this ride. Very different. I just pulled a time of 1hr 30min out of the sky as a finish time and I would have beat that by 12 minutes if I did not have to walk. This also would have put me in about 110th place out of 350 participants without even training. This race showed me I can do this. Just as with Uwharrie, I got home and looked for the next one.

  • Comments: They really managed the rain distraction well. Setup does a great job in my limited opinion. My only criticism would be the poor trail condition. Greenville itself (downtown), turned out to be a very nice surprise.
