Anybody know of a good 1/2 distance in the Southeast in Jun/Jul timeframe?

 Hello all,

I am looking to set up my race schedule and am having a bit of difficulty finding a 1/2 for June or July.  My A-race is IMKY on 8/28.  I was thinking the Knoxville Rev3 Half on 5/15.  However, that might be a bit soon  (since I think/guess/figure that I will start OS in November).

I live in Warner Robins, GA (near Atlanta) and would like to keep the drive to 12 hours or less.  The Kansas 70.3 is 15-hours away.  Do-able, but not first on my list.  Muncie, IN is 11 hours.  Again Do-able, but am hoping for closer.

I am hoping someone knows of non-WTC events that would fit the bill.

Thanks in advance,

Joe Matchette

    Hey Joe, what happened to the Rock n Rollman? Did that one 5 times when I lived in Eastman.

    Dave,

    That was supposed to be my IMLou warm-up. However, they decided to move it to October for '11. AAAAaaarrrggghhhh!

    Theres always Gulf Coast, but its early May also. I'm doing setup inc's White Lake 1/2 1st week of May, then IMLP in July. Doing Nov OS now. Won't race White Lake hard though, just a solid training day. Good luck whatever you decide.

    Was also going to recommend White Lake. Great event, well run, lots of fun, and if you want to make it a big training weekend, you can do the Half on Sat and the Sprint on Sun.

    Dave/Nemo,
    I will have to check White Lake out. I am also thinking about the Triple-T in October. But I am also toying with B2B. But that may be a bit much.....

    FWIW, I am also looking for a good HIM in the Jun/Jul timeframe and according to all of the sites I've seen, Rock 'N RollMan Half is still scheduled for 4 June 2011.

    There is also Setup events who run a number of tris - including half distance races - in the South east

    I am doing Louisville and my tuneup 70.3 will be the Little Smokies Half in Portsmouth, OH on May 22.  It's the 1/2 of the Ohio Triple T weekend.  

    The scheduling is perfect:

    18 weeks of the OS starting November 1

    1 week transition

    12 week race prep to Little Smokies

    2 week rest/transition/vacation

    12 week race prep for Louisville
