  • Comments: Great race. I did this race to learn to manage my resources for my HIM next month. I ate right and stayed with my run walk to ensure I had enough in the tank to do more. So, I am on track for my HIM in Oct. I am feeling much more confident.

  • Comments: I was a little disappointed with the support available to those of us at the end of the race. The time limit was posted as 4 1/2 hours, but much of the support was gone before that. I finished under 4 hours and when I crossed the finish line the photographer had already left. No finishing photo for my first triathlon. :( My partner finished under 4 1/2 hours, and they had already taken down some of the course signage by the time she was finishing the run. She actually ran longer than she needed to because they had removed the cone that marked the turnaround headed back in from mile 5! I understand that they need to start cleaning up after the designated time limit. But people who finish within the timelimit, but at the back of the pack, ought to get the same support as those that finished at the front. We pay the same registration fees and do the same course. At least leave the course put together until after the official time limit.

  • Comments: This was the first year that I ever ran Tugaloo. It was a great race and even though it was very hilly, I would do it again. The volunteers were great. My times were not real good, but I finished and hopefully next year I will have a great race.

  • Comments: I would like to request portable restroom facilities somewhere on the run course. It was such a pain to try to find somewhere to take care of emergency business and I am sure that I am not the only one to have to deal with this.

  • Comments: My max heart rate during the race was 178 and my average heart rate was 159. Overall, I really, really enjoyed this race. I experienced a huge sense of accomplishment upon completion. I was nervous about this race so facing that fear and finishing it was a great feeling. I am so inspired by the kindness of fellow racers. I heard so many people say "good job", "keep it up"", etc. it is amazing. This sport is made up of a great community of people. I'm honored to be a part of it.

  • Comments: I'm so happy with my performance today. It was a tough course...lots of hills on the bike and run. But I had one of my best races this season. I managed to get 2nd in my age group, which totally shocked me since this was the state championship race with lots of good athletes. Now I know why everyone loves the Tugaloo race. I've heard so many people tell me it's their favorite. It was a very challenging course, but the scenery was great. And the tough course made it even more rewarding once you finished. It was well organized and with good food at the end. GA Multisports once again put on a great race. I will definitely do this race again next year.

  • Comments: I had a lot of fun during race. Smiled lots and thanked volunteers. Posed for pictures and waved arms to get crowd involved. Really enjoy racing and didn't focus on time too much. I'm not in a position to win, so it was a lot more fun to enjoy the experience than to worry about my time. But even so, got a PR for the race! Did not inlude 2:00 minute penalty in my time because it was for safety reasons I got too close on the bike and/or crossed center line.
