  • Comments: Cool race and concept having pros and the SEC collegate championships alongside the regular ag oly and HIm races. Point to point course was reasonable and not a logisitcal nightmare like IM 70.3 Providence was as the transitions were only about 2 miles apart. Really nice homey athmosphere and feel to the race. Was announced this race will be the USAT Long Course Championships next year so now I defintiely have to qualify.

  • Comments: Funny how in the pic on the site and the awards are hot air balloon inspired-there we not any hot air balloons. Last year they were grounded due to wind-this year they didnt even show. Only miscommunication was closing Transition times, and stem sticker. GREAT race GREAT volunteers GREAT staff GREAT awards GREAT course markings-billboards and ground tape. (even with course changes the week of the race) GREAT SWAG

  • Comments: There were a lot of last minute changes to the courses. Especially the run course where the whole thing was changed the day before the race. The four lane road which was really busy was not coned off when i got to it but i got to watch the guy pull up in a van and start throwing cones every where as i road by. No one seemed to know the correct start times for the Oly either or what time T1 closed for us. Lack of coordination Rev3's part. the 70.3 seemed to be pretty well run though, and the busy road appeared to be nicely coned off by the time they all got around to there.

  • Comments: I liked this race a lot. Mostly because I feel such a sense of accomplishment (it being my first Olympic therefore my longest race). I liked that they had live finishing times. The tech guy in me was impressed. :)

  • Comments: This was a good race; the course isn't easy, but that's not really why people do this. I definitely had a good time!
