  • Organised?Yes
  • Events on time?No

  • Lots of volunteers to help?No
  • Plenty of drink stations?No

  • Post race activities? Below average
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: I'm not sure why the tri started 20 minutes late, but it really affected the slower competitors, who had to finish in the hot Georgia sun during a week of near-record temperatures. There were not enough water stations on the run. Pre-race organization was very good. I got my packet the day before, and got to the site early enough on race day to pick a prime spot in the bike area. The last tri I did had LONG lines for everything. Even with the glitches, I enjoyed myself, and I will likely do this tri again next year.

  • Comments: If this is close to home it is a good fit. We went friday to get my packet and asked about parking, they gave us a dicounted rate and a pass for the entire weekend. This year was unseasonably hot so about half way through the bike you could feel it. People who do this tri come in all levels of ability, shape and size.

  • Comments: Ok so I do this race because its close. And I had high hopes this year after talking with directors with brian and others last year. I also heard they added some experienced help. Problem 1: Looooooooooooooooong line to get into the park-we had to pay 10$ to get in. 4 stations letting us in ALL jammed full. We were told we'd get 10$ discount on next years registration. I really dont want to do this rae again with next set of problems. Jim Rainey WHAT!!!???!!! Problem 2: Free for all in transition set up. If this is to teach first timers how about you act like its a REAL race. laminated cards designating transition cant be that expensive. Problem 3: no pre-race packets and loooooong speeches at the start isnt the most professional way to do it. Problem 4: Swim where? lifeguard director confusion doesnt really build confidence. Problem 5: Awards. Last year we waited forever only to have confusion about order, placement, and giving out. This year there was no podium for FIRST TIMERS
