Anyone out there from NC or has done the White Lake Half? I am using this as my first HIM and wanted to know what people thought -- flat, fast, swim is short or long, etc... Times seem pretty fast.

I'll be there May 2007!

I have never done it but there is a possiblity I will be there. I remember from going there when I was a kid it is pretty flat. THe lake is super clear. LIke you said the results from years past are super fast.

MaverickUNC · 11-30-2006, 11:32 AM

It's a great first half. Fast, flat. Swim is like 3 feet deep but been cold for the past two years. Bike is fast with a bit of wind on the last few miles. Run is two loops with some tricky parts because it's run on road shoulders. Well supported and fun!

MaverickUNC -- so are you a Tarheel? If so, great game last night (i'm a TH alum and huge College Bball fan!) Do you fo the NCTS?

thebiochem1000 · 12-01-2006, 10:12 AM

Definitely do White Lake. My only complaint was he last 10-15 miles of the bike were on some not so smooth road.

MaverickUNC · 12-01-2006, 11:38 AM

Yup, I'm a Tar Heel. I race a few races in NCTS but with weird summer schedules with Army and family I do most of my racing in NY or none at all... Hope to see you at White Lake!

solidad · 12-01-2006, 01:11 PM

I am definitely doing White Lake. I am primariy going to focus on the NCTS races -- sprints and Olympics. I figure putting my first attempt at a Half at the beginning of the season will give me strong base and then I can migrate to "speed" focus for the remainder of the summer....

chris hughes · 02-03-2007, 11:19 PM

I'll be there...my fist half. I did the Sprint last year...it's out in the country at a FFA camp.

solidad · 02-06-2007, 01:14 PM

It will be my first Half as well
