  • Comments: It was a fantastic race. Truly. As my second foray into the world of Triathlon, I am amazed at how friendly everyone is. And I really do love the energy that is in the air at these races. It makes me want to dive in head first to this world of tri. And learn as much as I can. The race organizers did a fantastic job, and as much as I hated taking my bike up the first day, I'm glad I did because I made it to the race a little late Sunday morning and was rushed setting up transition. It would have been worse lugging my bike with me. The race course was laid out well with organizers all along the route cheering us on and directing at every turn. The run course had 2 aid stations, which gave us lots of chances to get fluids. Spectators cheered everyone on, even in the later portions of the race. Personally, this race reminded me a lot of the Georgia Marathon (my second marathon). I had the same feelings of frustration, which turned into motivation. Motivation to train properly

  • Comments: Good race overall- especially for their first time in Atlanta. The expo was kinda small...but maybe it's because I was there for 8 hrs on Saturday. Everything seemed well organized and I'd do this one again. The shirts were pretty cool, but I'd like if it said 'IronGirls Triathlon- Atlanta' or something insead of just saying 'IronGirls' and no race detail.

  • Comments: This was a great race. GA Multisports, RYKA, and IronGirl really did a fantastic job with this race. The volunteers (at least half of them were from North Atlanta Multisport Club) were awesome! The course is not super easy and definitely not super hard, so Lake Lanier is a good venue for a race. The after race finish area at this race was the best I have seen so far. I didn't get to enjoy the food spread they had because I went back to water stop one until that closed down, but it looked like they had some decent food. The tables with the tablecloths and flowers were a great touch, and it looks like they were giving out some neat raffle prizes when I made it back to the area. If the race returns next year, I will definitely put it on my race schedule.

  • Comments: The only issue I have with the race is the traffic on Holiday making it very difficult to pass. Otherwise there were more than enough water stations with excellent volunteers.

  • Comments: Wonderful event organization and traffic control on bike ride! There were lots of volunteers and police to help direct us... never had a doubt in my mind about which way to turn or go next during the entire race! Lake Lanier Islands is a crowed place though and Saturday registration and bike check-in were a bit hectic. I heard from my hubby that it was relatively tough for spectators to find the right place to watch and navigate to/from the swim start. Course was open to traffic, which was frustrating for drivers and spectators. (No issues at all for the participants.) I did not stay for the catered breakfast after the race, but I did check out the buffet... very nice!! Course was not necessarily too hard... I just needed more training before hand. Definately need to work on endurance in some lower traning (heart rate) zones. I had a great time!! Lots of encouragement from other participants and volunteers.

  • Comments: Great race - tons of volunteers and it was great to be out there with a bunch of Iron Girls. Awesome t-shirts, very nice post-race food spread (even if we didn't eat any!), and lots of people giving us encouragement.
