Race Reports for Ironman 70.3 Augusta 2016

Race rating (4)

Comments: No time clocks on race course except for finish line. I didn't wear a watch so had no clue of my times. Was lucky I PRed. Very tight in transition area. Would be nice to spread us out but I don't think that would be possible. Bike course had too many turns causing a lot of lost momentum.

Comments: Overall, this was a great race and Augusta is a great venue! I understand why so many first-timers target this one, with the easy swim and flat run. The bike is challenging, but if you've trained, it's not too bad. The biggest issue is that Augusta can be very hot even in late September. I know that there were many that didn't finish. Generally, I have tried to spread out my Ironman races and not hit the same venue twice, but I do think I'd be happy to take another shot at Augusta. It seemed like a nice town to visit and it was a great host city. Also, with better training (and better weather), this is a PR course.

Comments: Great race all and all. very fast swim, hilly ride and great run with lots of cheering and flat. The only negative I found was the challenge to get back to transition to collect bike and equipment. most roads were closed so we had to walk about a mile to get to transition then back again.
