How's the tri scene around the Charleston area? Is it popular? Many clubs and/or training groups? Any good shops to visit? I'll be there visiting this time but considering a possible move in the future.

I think there is a club local to there and there are definitely quite a few races in the area.  doesn't seem to be as active as the upstate area though.

there are 3 main groups in the area: goose creek international triathlon club, summerville ymca, and chucktown triathletes. 3 good shops are: trek in mt pleasant, try sports in mt pleasant, and charleston bicylce shop in charleston. best place for bike maintenance is easy rider bikes in mt pleasant.

the scene is pretty good here, we have a scts sprint/half in april and a 5 race sprint traithlon series from may-august.

you can pretty much get shop/group rides on tuesday, thursday, saturday, and sunday.

there are a wide variety of pools at your convience in the area.

Also Kiawah Olympic Triathlon in September. Another bike shop doing excellent work is affordabikes at the corner of King and Cannon downtown. Also 3 different masters swimming groups in the area. The scene seems to be growing down here.

I couldn't believe that my splits kept getting lower! I started to run harder after I passed the "5 km" sign and picked a few people that I wanted to pass.
