  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: One more or so on the bike path would have been wonderful. Obviously I was more sensitive to this issue, as I had no fluids with me during the race, but previous races of this distance and heat had two water stops, which I've come to accept as the standard.

  • Comments: Yes! My first OLY... I was really happy about my nutirition and hydration for my first Oly. I make my goal of <3hrs. I had fun on the swim and bike, but disappointed on the run. Overall, I had a fun time and this was a great race with good support. I plan to put this on my calendar for next year.

  • Comments: I love this race. It was the first race I ever did (3 years ago). I think being part of the USAT Grand Prix series really stepped up the level of competition this year. The winning time was <2h, which is pretty impressive given the long bike course and all of the hills. Overall, a well run race that I would highly recommend.

  • Comments: I was not as careful with my nutrition on this tri and consequently, I paid for my lack of planning. When I got home, I started getting a headache and I knew that it was due to dehydration and I couldn't do anything the rest of the day. I didn't drink enough today. I didn't even finish the 2 bottles of Gu on the bike for some reason. Since I'm a heavy sweater, I need to definitely take this seriously. This first season was all about learning more about the sport and myself in it. I think I have a lot better idea of what to expect and what areas I need to work on for the next season. I am happy with the overall result of the four triathlons I raced this year. Although Tugaloo turned out to be the slowest time, I am okay with that b/c it was also the most challenging course. I had fun doing it. I am looking forward to next year and the improvements I expect to see. Next year will be all about fine-tuning my training and getting serious with the serious stuff like heart rate

  • Comments: Kudos to a better shirt this year. Well, actually that it was a shirt and not some house painters jacket. I like this race because it's hard and at the end of the season so it let's you put all your chips in. All the racers were good sportsmen and I saw very little ego getting in the way of a great race. I am not sure if I'll be back next year because of IM WI but I will definitely come and cheer on the crew. While not a PR at OLY distance I was pretty close on a harder, longer course. Yeah!

  • Comments: Another successful event by GA Multisports ... hope that they can alter the course enough to prevent the problems with the cyclist and runners, but other than that it was a very smoothly done race.

  • Comments: Tugaloo is a really good race. It's a difficult course, but that's what I want in a race. Sometimes easier, sometimes difficult. I sign up for this one knowing what it's all about. I'd like to do it every year, but next year it will probably fall within a week of IM MOO. Chances of me doing it are slim. This is my Oly PR and I could not be happier with how my day turned out.
