Regular 91 | Subject: 2015 season I am researching a 70.3 to do early on June-July. I will be doing Princeton 70.3 in late September. I was considering A/C challenge half, but I didn't hear many good things about the race-especially the run. Any suggestions? I was thinking Musselman or patriot half? I don't want a killer course (Quassy).. Some of the half distance races I've completed include Timberman, Quakerman Barrelman, and Quassy. It should not be an ocean swim and it should be driving distance from NJ--Thanks in advance for your thoughts!! |

Member 231 | Subject: RE: 2015 season I'm doing REV3/Challenge Williamsburg on June 14th. I did the Olympic Aquabike last year and I loved the course and the organization in general. The first year was a disaster (the current in the James River made the swim like an endless pool apparently) but last year was great from what I saw. The river is lovely (I like warm water and don't worry too much about wetsuit legal), the Olympic bike course had just enough rolling to it to keep you interested. The run is 4 laps of the complex where T2 and the finish line is, so if you are not in to laps that could become tedious. Oh, also it is a 2 transition race - you have to set up in separate places! I'm excited for 2015 - this will be my first half!!! Just an idea! Patti |

They did change the bike and the run for 2015, maybe due to the issues you heard about. |

Master 1770 Bedford, MA | Subject: RE: 2015 season Patriot is a great race - I've done it 3x and am planning on doing either Syracuse or Patriot in June (leaning towards Patriot as it's closer to home and won't have to stay in a hotel). The swim is nice, the transition area is spacious and on grass, the bike and run courses are relatively flat with a few climbs. It's definitely not as hilly as Timberman, which I did this year. Check out my race reports for more details if you like. |

Regular 156 | Subject: RE: 2015 season Patriots is a great venue. Have raced the half once and olympic and sprint many times. It's our anniversary weekend and we go every year. Williamsburg is a great town with lots to see and do. The half run is cool with wooded sections anb boardwalks. I highly recommend. |

Family friendly & we stayed a few days after the race for a mini-vacation. I would recommended this race. |

Flat bike and run, but wind and heat are the usual pains for this race. I've done it twice and will likely do it in 15 as well. My wife is doing Princeton... I'm debating it. It'll be here first half, so I may just be there to support and cheer, but then again it might kill be to be at a race and not racing so I don't know. |
