Lake Lanier Islands Triathlon (Emerald Pointe Tria - TriathlonSprint

Really crowded at the turn bouy. It was such a short distance to the turn that we were still very bunched up. The swim was really crowded, I got the "shit beat out of me!!" as I heard someone say from behind me just before the turn to the beach. I had to agree. it was a tough swim, crowded and A LOT of breast strokers! Par for the course with so many 1st timers! I finished the backside really well.

Swim outside, be in the front.

Pretty good transition, the hill always kills me, but it is the same for everyone. It gets your heart rate up for the bike!

nothing.. not a bad transition

Good bike, I love the course. Only a couple of short hills and a lot of flat/slight downhill. I wish they would do and OLY in the same location.

Train a little more right up to the race. Sometime life gets in the way family, sick kids you all know the drill. I did all I could on the bike and was satisfied with the result. I know I can go faster with more training.

I'll take it.

Great run course. My plantar faciitis had been killing me all year. I have run maybe 20 miles since the May turtle crawl race and that was 2 weeks ago. I am looking forward to an injury free season next year!! I have to get the PF under control. It is just killing my training and ability to put down any competetive times... Considering the circumstances, I am really proud of my run!

Train more, not have plantar faciitis!

Drank some water and got some food. no pizza as it had not come yet.. Who is the older lady at the food table? She is really nasty, I asked my wife if she could get me a slice of pizza as she was already in line. I got a really dirty look and she yelled at me to GET IN LINE!! PS.. there was no pizza left. Got a foot message at the 1st choice tent... Thanks I will be stopping by next week!


My foot and lack of training on the run. I have to say I am VERY happy with my time. I did all I could and felt strong throughout!


Great race for beginners and a benchmark from year to year. I don't know if I will include this on my schedule next year.. The bike drop.. Big minus. I also think it is getting too big. Really crowded on the bike. My buddy got squeezed on a traffic circle on the bike and crashed/broke his collar bone. tough way to end the season. I felt really bad for him. Just too many people not paying attention on the course!!
