SheTris Triathlon Chapel Hill NC Race Report
Where: North Carolina
When: September 29, 2024
Race length: Sprint Triathlon
Quick Tips:
• Follow the FREE training plan! It works.

The best thing(s) about the race:
• All women
• Super supportive
• Positive support
What was less than ideal: 1. 2 different times were given for a transition clinic, which was very confusing.
2. During the run, some women chose to walk. At one point, 2 walked side by side, blocking the entire path when a running came from the other direction. It was less than ideal to ask them to step aside so I could run through.
3. I am not a vegetarian but as a former vegetarian (and supporter of free-eating-choice!) I was happy to see a veg option. However, it would be nice for the veg option to also be vegan.
4. Photos are hard to find - the link online at the site took me to someone else in a different location's race (same bib number but that was not Chapel Hill nor me). The photo link I was sent only had some finish photos and then also some photos that were not me. I thought I might get a cycling photo but no luck.
5. I think there needs to be a greater effort to advertise. I felt like attendance was low (granted it appeared a lot of participants did not show up). However, I was searching for other area triathlons and this one doesn't even come up. You have to really know what to search for to find it. This should not be the case!!!
What I didn't expect: I expected to see way more supporters. It was a little sad that more people did not come out to support the athletes.
Race organization: It was obvious a lot went into the planning, I appreciate the organization.
Fuel and aid stations: I didn't use it but I appreciated it being there!
Additional info: Great job, hopefully a bigger turn out next year, including supporters!!!
Overall grade: 4 stars
