Saturday was one of the prettiest days we have had in Wilmington which made the athletes happy that were racing in the big BEACH2BATTLESHIP Triathlon.  If you were outside yesterday in the Wilmington area, it was inevitable that you would see someone participating in the race.  The race started with a 2.4 mile swim in Banks Channel at Wrightsville Beach.  After that came a 112 mile bike ride from Wrightsville Beach to White Lake and back to the Battleship.  The last leg was a 26 mile run that started and ended at the Battleship.  These athletes are incredible to have the stamina needed for this type of race.  There were athletes competing from all over the world and Wilmington residents could be seen cheering them on.  The first place men’s winner is from Denmark and the first place woman is from Winston Salem, NC.  To learn more about this topic or Wilmington Real Estate contact me at 910-431-9395 or visit my website at www.livingbythecoast.com.

Today we had a “Poker Run” luncheon in Cross Creek.  Seven agents teamed up to showcase their listings in this wonderful Hampstead neighborhood.  It was a beautiful, sunny and mild day which made a perfect day for agents to tour homes they may not know about.  Cross Creek is located off of Hwy 210 West in Hampstead making it convenient to Hampstead, Wilmington, Topsail Beach and Jacksonville, NC.  Cross Creek is also just minutes to I-40 and I-140.  To learn more about Cross Creek or Hampstead Real Estate contact me at 910-431-9395 or visit my website at www.livingbythecoast.com.
