  • Comments: So before the AG Awards got underway, the MC indicated that like the Pros, the AG Championship awards were based on your series scores, not on how you performed today. Oh my! Dare I hope???? Taking 6th didn't exactly give me much, but there were only 7 finishers when there should've been 14 today. So, 7 guys didn't show and/or finish? Wow, did I have a chance here? Zach kinda wondered where he was too. Well, he didn't have long to wait as he took 3rd. Another HTD member there who took 4th ended up taking 5th in the AG series. Now it comes to my AG..."and in 5th place from Frederick Maryland, DAVE MILLER!" Oh-MY-GOSH!! I am all smiles in disbelief! Nearly all the leg soreness is gone and I bound up on stage to receive my Rev3 5th Place AG Championships Series award package - a BIG MEDAL (pic below), Blue Seventy goggles, $15 coupon for the Rev3 Expo store, 2 packs of Powerbar products, and a nice "Rev3 Winner" pint glass - SSSSSWWWWEEEETTTT! What a way to end the race!! All smiles I think

  • Comments: Rev 3 Knoxville had the Pro Series and AG series Championships, the regular Half rev and Olympic Revs, the Revie kids tri on Saturday, an urban adventure race, little rev kids adventure race, and the glow run and movie night under the stars Friday night for the kids on the big screen (over 800 people for the glow run.) Great time and lots of fun for everyone. Great racing and a tough but fair championship level course and a hybrid distance to help crown the series champs. Tim Don absolutely crushed the run going 5 min miles the whole way.and caught Cam Dye who crushed the bike. Awesome racing!

  • Comments: This is not a course where most of us are going to set a PR. Challenging bike ride. Don't underestimate the run course which can break your spirit. Good experience and will come back in the future but unsure if this will be a yearly event as it is a 11 hour drive one way from my location.
