  • Comments: GA Multisports did a great job. Moving the race from the heat of June to late April made for much better times. Everything was very well done.

  • Comments: Race was produced by GA Multisports, so it was very well run. I enjoyed it except for the part where I blew up on the run. I'd definitely like to redeem myself next year.

  • Comments: For some reason, it felt like they went through the motions on the race. The food tent was not good. They need to re-think their approach. Also, I think they should shift the finish line to the slight incline and not the side shoot.

  • Comments: I really wanted to break 3 hours and I wasn't able to do it. The warm swim got my body temp up more than I anticipated and although I did well on the bike I overheated on the run. Good lessons learned but I am still pretty disappointed in not reaching my time goal.

  • Comments: Ga MS generally does a good job. The soaker tent was a brilliant idea. The food was poor and sitting in the sun getting warm. I was a little disappointed but they did offer the basics. The bike course is just asking to be crushed. With a flat run, it should be crushed. The results posting was over 24 hours after the race. All the other races post same day. It is a minor knock, but I am putting it out there.

  • Comments: Another good race put on by GAMS, another year West Point has chewed me up and spit me out. 3rd year in a row doing this race, 3 sub par race performances. Oh well, there's alway next year. or not. Only negative comments about the race organization, on my way back in on the run, i heard more than a few people mention they ran out of water at the first water station. that is a huge no-no! I heard they did that in Macon too. Inexcusable!! If you are going to put on races in the middle of Georgia in May and June, the least you can do in ensure there is enough water and ice to last the whole event. Also, another minor complaint...the shirt color! Seriously? a sand colored shirt. like i need more reminders of how hot this race was. stick with blues, greens and whites!

  • Comments: Again, Jim put together a very nice, well organized race. If it weren't so well set up I may not have gotten everything squared away after arriving so late. Thanks to all the volunteers! They're the best!

  • Comments: Great course and location. Volunteers from Atlanta Tri Club were super friendly. Keep in mind parking is about 1/2 mile to transition so plan on making 1 trip.

  • Comments: It was a good race. I know that a lot of the comments come off negative, but my expectations were off going into it. I've done okay with the few sprints I've done, and didn't know what I was getting into with these distances. Race was put together well and it seemed to be a good course. Good experience and learned a lot. Great people. Give me a year, I should be back with a few more miles under my belt!

  • Comments: Good GA multisport event - still wish that they would invest in just a couple more swim buoys. It always seems that regardless of the distance, there are the same number of buoys. Well done as usual though.

  • Comments: Dropping this race to an Average rating. It's a good one that I will do again, but the swim course inconsistancies from year to year is inexcuseable. I don't care if the course is long, just as long as it's the same. Otherwise, GA Multisports still is a very well run organization. They always put on a good event.
