I’m doing the South Carolina Half this weekend and traveling solo; anyone else going to be down at the race?
My wife and I will be there.
I’ll be there. First half for me. Excited and anxious all at the same time! I am just hoping it is wetsuit legal!
I’ll be there. 4th time doing this race. It has been wetsuit legal every year, so far.
Unfortunately, I am longer doing the half. I had a death in the family and the funeral is on Sat. in Indiana. I won’t make it back for the half. I’m experiencing quite a mix of emotions right now. Sorrow and disappointment to this degree has not been fun. I have asked the director of Setup if he will allow me to apply the entry fees to the Beach to Battleship full next month. I’ve trained super hard for the half which was supposed to be my “A” race. I hate not test myself with a big race after all the blood, sweat, and tears I poured into my training. Oh well…
I’ll be doing the bike leg for a relay. OOOhhh … it’s turned chilly!
I just checked the forecast for race day. Winds from the WNW at 14. I know this area well. If they say 14, it’ll be more like 25. That direction will put it on the nose for the long, open stretch from Saluda which is 15 miles going WNW. That’s the bad news. The good news is that we should be able to just KILL the final 7 miles … slightly downhill and with a dead-on tail.
Of course, it’s awfully far off to be relying on the weather forecast.
