  • 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.

  • Comments: I've always like this race because it's very challenging. Flatlanders need not apply. I was glad to be back after missing last year due to IM Wisconsin. I do believe I am a better triathlete now than in 2006 however the clock doesn't show it so there is more work to do. It was awesome seeing so many of my friends/training pals here. It's amazing how many more people I know in this sport just a few years later. And it's also been great to watch them all excel too. A final note and tip of the cap to race management. Active.com screwed up my registration way back in April and we never noticed it until Friday before the race. I brought all my gear but was not having much hope that I would be able to get into this race. That would've been ok, but I really wanted to race and see where I am training-wise. The folks who run this were very gracious and accomodating and got me in. They even got me a t-shirt at the end of the event although they told me upfront that it wasn't guaranteed.

  • Comments: The race was great. My only complaint was the volume of cars on the road and the narrowness of some of the bike course. Great race though.

  • Comments: The usual high quality GA Multisports event. Tugaloo is a favorite of mine. Hard course, but a great test. This is my season ender :( I feel that after an overall below average Triathlon season, that I am ending on a high note. Can't ask for much more than that.

  • Comments: The race itself was well run as usual. The only thing I would have changed was the red caps that the swimmers were suposed to wear. Through the fog they looked too much like the buoys. If the race was the begining of October it might have been a little cooler which would have been nice.

  • Comments: This was my first Olympic distance and I learned a lot today, but more or less this course really just chewed me up and spit me out. My lack of bike skills is discouraging even though I am still a rookie. The bright side to a race like today is coming out here and getting my ass kicked like that just makes me want to work that much harder. Even though this race got me good I still had a good time and it's fun to see familiar faces from other local events.
