  • 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!
