  • Comments: This was a bucket list race for me. 17 years ago, as a student, I volunteered for the Chattanooga Dam Triathlon and thought this tri thing was pretty cool. Loved the course and everything was well organized.

  • Comments: Always a great race. Team placed 10 in the top 50. This was USAT SE Regional Championship so I got a cool hat as the SE Region champ for my age group. Not my best race but hung in there. Team had a blast Sunday afternoon since we stayed Sunday night.....definitely some people suffering Monday morning after the Sunday festivities.

  • Comments: Featuring both hills and heat, I think this race really plays well to my particular strengths. Therese and Faye put on the best races you will ever do, hands-down. The only thing that would make this race better would be if all the construction on the bike course was finished up.

  • Comments: 2012 I felt like they mailed it in. This year they were back on it! Personally I dont like the baby blue shirts but oh well, theyre still quality. Drop off the night before was nice. Ive also bashed them for not having water available at the expo, having powerade drums and cups this year-awesome! EXPO was great as usual. Medals were pretty sweet this year. Door prizes were a plenty after the race, 0/4 on the QR bike for me. I ALMOST took a podium spot-but third overall was assessed a penalty that bumped him from 3rd back into the AG categories-MINE-and he took first bumping me to 4th-UGH so close! I didn't cramp. I did PR this course. Might be back on the yearly race schedule. (especially if they keep it earlier like this year). Bravo'

  • Comments: Because of the water flow, the swim was canceled. I originally signed up for the Aquabike, however I did the run/swim instead. Overall I felt good about this race, however I did re-aggravate my torn calf muscle. I wanted to run the 10k, however my calf started hurting, so I knew I needed to stop.

  • Comments: Overall I am happy with my results. My first Oly. Even though my run sucked, I made up for it in the swim and bike and still hit my goal. Next time will be better. Team Magic is a great race organizer.

  • Comments: I think in years past Ive rated this race a 5. This year a 4 and slipping fast. First off I was denied a bottle of water by a volunteer during the expo the day before. Apparently those were specifically for the volunteers. I RESPECT the volunteers whole heartedly and would carry a case from the truck to refill the cooler, if needed. but to deny an athlete a bottle of water IN THE ATHLETE TENT-really are they that scarce-RUDE. I am also a SWAG SNOB, mostly BECAUSE OF THIS RACE. I was disappointed by: The cheap swim caps-(AWESOME last year-even for a cap) The POSTCARD we were supposed to attach to our stem-with safety pins or zipties that they ran out of. (sticker last year as part of the tritats kit) The ONE volunteer signing athletes in. One water bottle and one gel The tritat package was smaller-only numbers for arms and leg. (last year was cap sticker, body sticker bike sticker, emergency bike sticker, wristband, team in training sponsor sticker...) The QR bike was a giveaway before,

  • Comments: The race is very very well run. Swim start was much better organized than the last time I did the race (2010). Now if they could clear up the start order (mine was far from the only one screwed up), I'd give them an A+. As I look back over the splits, this was actually a pretty typical Oly for me, even though it didn't feel that way. The swim felt fast b/c I was passing so many people, but in fact it was just average, and as it happens in Olys, a strong bike and run just isn't enough to make up for a mediocre swim. I got '2nd' in AG, but only because the top three masters overall were M40-44. Actually AG placement was 5th.

  • Comments: Ive like this race in the past-it kind of made me a race snob for other races. However, seems ilke they mailed this year in. Argumenative volunteers, weak swag, just felt second hand. Not sure if Ill be back for #4.
