Just curious how many ST’ers are out there in SC and what races are you doing?
As for me…Clemson Sprint, Lake Murray, Festival of Flowers(I’m the RD), Tri Pee Dee, Greenville Sprint, Hartsville Oly, SC Half, and maybe Hickory Knob. All subject to change because I can’t pull the trigger on a Iron-distance race at the end of the season. Hope some others will chime in…
Count me here. I was hoping to do all of those races, but “life” has hit me with abundance recently. I’m not sure how many I’m actually going to be able to race, but, I AM sure I won’t be in as good a racing condition as the past few years. I’m heading out now for my fourth or fifth bike ride this MONTH. I’ve hit the pool twice, and run a few times. This is worse than my “off season”. Hope to see you at a race, regardless! (Hint, I’ll be the old man on a Titan Flex)
Here in Greenville! Focusing this year on running primarily, but will slip a couple of sprints in if I can. Any SC, STer get to go to the Upstate Triclub meeting last night with George Hincapie! Pretty awesome for a club meeting. What a nice guy. My wife rides his saddle…wait, she has one of his old saddles on her bike. Anyway, very interesting and fun meeting. George pushes 525 watts when he is in shape, he said 7 watts per kilo. Sounded pretty impressive to me.
not quite in SC, asheville, nc actually but i still plan on doing several of those races later in the season! ya’ll should come up here to the mountains to do some training!!
Close. I’m in Charlotte. I’m doing the GA R&Rman in June, the Duke half then either the Duke irondistance or GFT later in the fall. Probably will do some other races in the area over the summer.
ncrunner, be careful what you suggest. I’ve been looking for someone based in the mountains for an early summer “training camp” type week or weekend.
Hey, I am in Columbia at USC. Exam week is taking a bite out of my training, but it will all be over on Tuesday. I’ll be at Lake Murray since its not far from my house, and Festival of Flowers, as well as the Oly’s at Hartville and Hickory Knob. I must say the Set-Up Inc. puts on some nice races.
yeah man come on up…i’m in for the rock-n-roll half as well
.
Me too… Did several of the Pametto State series races last year but am currently deployed and will return in time to focus on IMLP. After that - and body willing - I might try to do either the SC 1/2 or the Hilton Head sprint in the fall just for the T-shirt.
I’m considering the SC 1/2 in early October. Does anyone have any comments on the race overall, the course, and/or the organization of the race?
I am Spartanburg, Gulf Coast, Assault on Mitchell, Eagleman, SC 1/2 (3rd time), GFT. On a lighter note, also July 4th, Hilly Hellacious Hundred, and smattering of others.
I’m in Greenville. The only SC race I’m currently signed up for is the Clemson sprint. Also doing the Philly tri (olympic) in June. Probably some others later in the summer/fall, but it’s my first season so I’m waiting to see how things go. Which are the can’t-miss races (sprint or olympic) in SC?
bananashirt: I was also at the Upstate tri club meeting on Wednesday to hear Hincapie. Very cool, indeed.
