  • Comments: The volunteers who help out with the Tri the Parks series are AWESOME! There were so many people out there to help us, and that made this race. Russell was a good first oly. I enjoyed it, and if I can, I'll be doing it next year. And I will put in more hill training beforehand!

  • Comments: Another great Tri the Parks event. Tri Blue Sky does a great job with their race series. The state park, a bit of a far drive from Atlanta, was beautiful. The course is by no means easy, but it is a great, scenic course. The race is an International distance event, but is not what I consider the standard Olympic distance length so is probably a great distance for those trying to move to longer than sprint races. I think I got lucky with the weather this year being overcast, because the bike and run courses could be brutal in hot, sunny conditions.

  • Comments: Great race. As always, well-organized and well run. Transition area was fine, too. As far as nutrition; since this was my first Olympic, this is also the first race where I had to worry about nutrition. I actually was quite happy with my choices. The Powerbar gel every 30 min on the bike kept my energy levels high, and I didn't bonk on the run. Overall, since my goal was to finish under 3 hours, and I actually finished under 2h 30 min, I was pretty pleased. I actually think I liked this race better than the sprints. I will probably try more Olys in the future.
