Thanks for the intel. Was hoping the race would be in the surrounding Lake Jordan area similar to the old Duke 1/2. Like James said Set-Up posted earlier in the year a hypothetical question for a half in the Charlotte area either in the fall or the spring. I am hoping the 70.3 race in Raliegh does not change the plans for a potential Charlotte race. It may be the minority opinion but a Set-Up Half IM would be more attractive to me then a 70.3 point to point race with a downtown finish.
Regarding the heat, yes us NC-ers must be wilting flowers (-: White Lake has been a scorcher, but what makes it more challenging is that the race is early May and we have not had hot days to train to acclimate. In any event the heat is the same for everyone and i have had both good for me and poor for me races there.
There also was talk of a full IM in South Carolina? Is that now dead?
Best,
Rockfish
