?Has anyone done or doing the Lake Logan Half Iron in North Carolina?  I'm looking for some details on the course or a race report.  Let me know!

    The olympic here in 2012 was my first triathlon; with the exception of the longer bike course, the rest of the course is the same.  Swim wasn't bad; cold upriver swim to exit by being pulled up onto a dock...transition area was a bit muddy and you have to run through a bit of grass to bike mount.  Stout little up hill coming back to T2.  Out and back run is a slight false flat going out, which made for a smoking fast return.

    Overall, even though it was my first, I really thought the area was very nice and scenic ~ think it was earlier in the year, so it may have been a bit cooler.

    @Steven-I'll be doing the race this year. My first so no real input other than they have made the bike course a full 56 vs the 52 it has been. I hear the water is always around 68 degrees so wetsuit legal even in August.

    Thanks for the input guys, I would usually laugh at the idea of wearing a wet suit in August but 68 degrees is cold! I did find a few race reports out there on last years half. I really don't know much about the course other than what's provided on the elevation profiles and maps.

    Jamie-I'll see you there in August!

    I'll be joining y'all at Lake Logan. This will be my first time there but several friends have spoken very highly of the race. I have been told that, despite it being in the mountains, it is not a hilly course. We'll see.

    Hi,
    I live about :45 from LL. It's a beautiful area. Rolling hills to cycle on with a climb out and back to T2. Like the post before said, the run is kind of a false flat but not too intense. The lake is cold enough for a wetsuit. They take the temp under the bridge which assures it will be wetsuit legal. Your going to love the course. Good training for a hilly IM.
    I'll see you there too!

    Let's make it a point to at least meet and take a photo to post.

    Let's keep in touch!  Happy training!

    I'm just getting into the training for Lake Logan.  I'll start a thread under the Summer HIM forums so we can keep in touch with our training.  Everyone can post how things are going and get a little support when needed.  Much like the IM, GF and OS forums.
