Description
2011 Event date will be announced by December 1, 2010
The specific date and time for online registration for the 2011 event will also be announced on December 1, 2010.
Located on the outskirts of picturesque Smithfield in the Southeast corner of Virginia this race will become one of your early season favorites. A short pool swim and followed by lightning fast bike and run courses this race will be THE race to check your legs and see how your base training has been coming along. If you are a novice and looking to check out the sport, this is a great event. You'll feel safe on the rural bike course and will have a semi-urban run to keep you interested during the 5K of the final leg. With a 10AM start you'll be able to drive in the morning of the event and then stick around for all the post race BBQ you can eat.
This event features our signature Technical T-shirts, post race BBQ feast courtesy of Smokin Joe's BBQ and our favorite announcer Ken Berger keeping us rocking throughout the day!

Updating Your Swim Time
The last day to change your swim time is Friday March 12th. You can do this by logging into your profile, selecting this race registration and updating your swim time. Be sure to enter your time in MM:SS format.
How to submit or change your swim time
Based upon your estimated 100 yard swim time you will be assigned a specific start time. It is in your best interest to submit a time as accurate as possible. Submitting a time that is too fast for you puts you up with swimmers who will be passing you during the swim - not good for you or them. Putting a time that is too slow places you with slower swimmers and forces you to have to pass everyone. The ideal scenario for all participants is to have people submit accurate times - the whole swim flows better.
Note - You should not submit your "all-out effort" time. The time that should be submitted isthe 100-yard "pace" that you can maintain for the entire swim.
