 Swim
Comments: My second OWS!! I just learned to swim in January and I was astonished to be passing people!! A guy in front of me almost drown. Some nice folks held him up and screamed help so the canoe could come in a pull him up. I had to stop and tread water for about 15 sec. Hope he was ok. Slowed us down a little! I was the happiest man on the beach when I came out... I had survived!! What would you do differently?: Train harder and start fatrher forward. I was afraid of being in the "mix" and freaking out. I will not hang back next time.  Transition 1
Comments: I was really slow and I knew it. First tri I just didn't want to forget anything!!! I can probably cut the time in half next time.. Ran part way up the hill, God what a hill!! Will run the whole way next year What would you do differently?: Hurry and ruin up the hill!!  Bike
Comments: Felt good on the bike. I did see quite a few pukeing on the side of the road, glad it was not me. Started slow and built momentum. Finished the last 5 mi in 16.36. What would you do differently?: Go harder from the start. Transition 2
Comments: Just need to be faster. Got an ass chewing from a volunteer. THIS IS THE RUN PORTION SO RUUUUNNN! YOU CAN DO IT!!! I thought I was moving right along I just took a few steps toward the exit and she let me have it. I thought it was great. Really supportive. It got my ass moving!! What would you do differently?: be faster  Run
Comments: My weakest event! I did pretty well. I had a lot left and started slowly, rubber legs. Built speed the whole way and finished strong. What would you do differently?: Push harder for the start Post race
Warm down: walked, shed a tear hugged my kids and wife and forgot all about the "warm down". collected my t-shirt and met some friends. GREAT DAY!!! What limited your ability to perform faster: No previous experience. I did better that I had feared. Overall VERY happy!! Event comments: Loved the race, really well organized. The volunteers were great, really supportive and happy to be there it seemed. I have not stopped smiling and I am now addicted!! Went for a 20 mile ride today at Stone mountain and am already planning next years races. Thanks to everyone that has posted on this site, great info and now I am part of the club!!! Great first time racers race. I was never in doubt about where to go or what to do. Great experience!!! Last updated: 2007-10-10 12:00 AM

First triathlon so I got up at 4:00, actually got out of bed at 4 was awake most of the night. Ate a peanut butter and honey sandwich had some coffee and a bannana. Was excited, but didn't sleep much. Said goodbye to the wife and 4 year old.. yes he was up!!
Took a short run to loosen things up and headed to the beach
