  • Comments: This is one of the old, venerable races in the region and while I have always wanted to do it, but it comes so late in my season (which is greatly dictated by the school year) I have never been able to fit it on my calendar. Even though it was not really a target race for me I am very glad to have made it this year, and will try and do it again next year - aside from the long swim with all of the hills on both the bike and the run it really is a course that suits my abilities.

  • Comments: I have always been pleased with the GA Multisports races I have done. This was no exception. The race was well run and the support was great. This was my first OLY and despite being severely undertrained this year, I really enjoyed this distance. I look forward to doing Tugaloo again and more GA Multisports events.

  • Comments: Even with a longer swim I was able to PR this course over last year's time. 2:29:18 vs 2:29:55 Bike split was up: Official 21.4 vs 21.2 (my computer showed 21.7) Run split was down: 7:05 vs 7:17 last year. Over-all, still a solid race with great competition showing up to Tugaloo. Well orgainzed, and good amount of volunteer support.

  • Comments: Event started late because the ambulance was late. Not the event's fault. A great race and a must do each year. Very challenging with the hills but wonderful atmosphere.

  • Comments: This still remains one of my perennial favorites in the SE. It's tough and the venue makes you know that. I enjoy seeing a lot of friends here and GA Multisports has upp'ed the game with a better race day vibe. Also, my tri club, Atlanta Tri Club (www.atlantatriclub.com), had 30 members race today!!! And man are they fast and getting faster. We need more slow members so I can feel a sense of accomplishment. :) I'm very proud of them and what they've done this season. So many good stories to tell there. All-in-all, I was happy for the wake-up call personally and glad that I decided to attend this year's race. It was the best weather I've ever seen here and the field is definitely getting tougher.

  • Comments: This is a great race! Fast group, and everyone seem to know what they were doing. Very solid overall, and a great race to test yourself (course wise and against other racers). The volunteers were wonderful, and very helpful. Plenty of aid stations, and support throughout the day. It is definitely a race everyone in GA should put on their schedule.

  • Comments: Excellent race. Great shout out to Henry Forrest at the beginning by the race director. Tugaloo was his last race attended last year. I will be back, but not next year.. I'll be in Madison.

  • Comments: This was a well organized and fun (afterward at least) race. It was a tough course, but everyone faced the same hills. Would definitely do it again, but may or may not depending on if I get into IM Moo 2010!

  • Comments: I didn't like the stupid $3 fee for the park. That's really the last thing I want to have to think about at 3am when I'm leaving for a race. Good volunteers. Saw lots of NAMC peeps - thanks for all your support! I didn't really care for the loops upon loops around the park. Other than that, good race, good people. I managed to have a great time out there even given my pain. :-)

  • Comments: I do these races for fun. I care very little for the time other than it shows that I am getting in better shape. I got good news today. Last year my doctor wanted me to take Lipitor for high cholesterol. Mine was 236. I told him no, that I wanted to lower it with diet and exercise. I got results today that says it is now 177. THAT and having an enjoyable time is why I exercise and I race to give me incentive to exercise and have an enjoyable time. I am not so concerned with having a better race time than a lot of people that I do not know. I would like to be one of the happiest people at the race though.
