  • Comments: Physically my body did what it could considering the lack of training for a variety of reasons. That doesn't mean I am still not frustrated and disappointed with my results. I had such a good base from last year and it is such a shame that is all gone. I hope I can keep work from completely taking over my life again.

  • Comments: I really liked the Oly distance. I figured I would. I am well suited for events that are 2.5-3 hours long. Sprint wss too short and HIM was just too long for my mental ability. Like I mentioned, this was my 3rd triathlon, first in almost 2 years. My objective was to have a good race and I did. My goal time wise going in was under 3 hours with figuring 2:45 was the best I could do given my cycling ability. Run was definitely slower than I predicted but I think had it been cooler that would have been faster. What I am most impressed with myself about is my pacing ability. I "raced" this entire event with no watch, heart rate monitor or any concept of my pace/mph. I had no idea until they posted the results that I met my A goal time of 2:45.

  • Comments: Really enjoyed the race. Lots of really good racers so it was fun to see where I stacked up. Still plenty of room for improvement. Team Magic does a great job and I love Chattanooga. Like the TT start for the swim. Will be back next year. Excellent venue.

  • Comments: I liked this race and would do it again. I want to get some revenge on that damn hill and honestly want to see my Olympic distance overall time improve. In gender placing I was 366 out of 410... Yikes! An hmmm I finished in the bottom 100. WOW, I feel loved :)

  • Comments: WOW - what an event, post race activities, food/drink/organization, run course support. Most festive race I've been to yet. I was leary about a downtown race but this one is just awesome. Tons of volunteers, organized, they have their stuff together. Just wish my AG started near the front, not back of the field but as they say, someone will start last.

  • Comments: In spite of the mess at the swim start, this was a very well-run race. Superb in fact. And the venue is very pretty. I will consider going back next year despite the drive. There were a lot of very fast people at this race. I'm very pleased with the result, and even more pleased that the race taught me a little more about how to race when it hurts.

  • Comments: Overall what a great experience. I can't wait to try another one! I'll only get in better shape and won't be as worn out by the swim.. I need to figure out why I cramped up so bad and change my race day nutrition to limit that.

  • Comments: Best big race Oly in the SE IMHO. I have not done St. A's, but the non-saltwater swim and river current has to make this a better race.

  • Comments: Later that night I looked up the results and saw that I beat Robin by about 2 minutes. This was astonishing because she was always much better on the bike, which killed me. After analyzing some, it seems my transitions times were about 2 minutes faster overall. Interesting. I also noticed her run was a couple minutes slower, but remembered her saying something about some stomach issues out there. The way I see it, transitions, nutrition, and pacing played a vital role this race. Finally, the things I'm good at (the non-tri-sport things) gave me an obvious advantage. This isn't to say that I don't need to work on things. I still have a lot to improve all around. But it's just nice to see that it's not always how fast you are, or how strong you are. All in all, a good race. I really do like this venue, and the volunteers and spectators make it really enjoyable. Everything was really well organized. This is a new PR for me, but hopefully it will get beaten out by my next Oly

  • Comments: An excellent well organized race overall. A great venue. I'll be doing this one again. If I had a "do over" I would have lined up LAST to start. That way the rain would have started at the beginning of my run.

  • Comments: Excellent race! This was the best race I've been to so far, next to Gulf Coast. There were tons of volunteers and multiple announcers on the mics encouraging racers and giving instructions. I really enjoyed the courses for each leg and the race finish/transition area along the river. I'll definitely be back next year.
