  • Comments: Like I said earlier, it's a well run local race that attracts a decent number of good athletes from the surrounding areas ( a good number out of the Nashville area). Post race food and beverages are very nice.

  • Comments: This is the 31st year of the race, and they have it dialed in very well. I was very pleased with my time. I was hoping for 1:33, and was thrilled with my time. Fastest time I've had here in 4 attempts. I thought it was a bad swim ( I was wrong), thought it was a good bike (wrong again), and I was much better on the run than expected. I just have to ride more, more, more!

  • Comments: Loved this event. Excellent venue and organization. Perfect spot for a race. Just wished I lived closer so I could swim in the lake. No issues whatsoever.

  • Comments: Only reason I didn't give this a 5, is because the race shirt is so plain. But it is a 30 year triathlon, so it has history, and I guess they are sticking to that.

  • Comments: This is still a great race. Not too big, not too small. Nice lake, rolling hills on the bike and run. The weather was ideal this year, too, and that helped on the run. I remember it being 90 degrees or so the last time I did this.

  • Comments: The race was very well organized. Everyone seemed to have a good time. I would not consider this a "beginner's" race, but the difficulty level is not too tough. The hills do add a challenge to the bike and run.

  • Comments: This was a very well organized race, especially for a smaller race. Good course markings, lots of volunteers. Plenty of aid stations on the run, good post race refreshments The thing that really pissed me off was that I lost my timing chip at some point so I have no official time. When I put my wetsuit on, I double checked it and it was fine. When I got out of the water, I noticed that I didn't beep going over the mat. When I took the wetsuit off, the strap was still there,so I didn't think too much about it. When I finished the run, they took off the strap but there wasn't a chip on it. I would have finished 5 in the age group. That just left a sour taste in my mouth, otherwise,it would have been a great day.

  • Comments: I will say it was very organized. the volunteers all very helpful and the crowd laid back and relaxed. It was a great great place for my first OW swim and true Sprint length since last week was a mini sprint. I cannot wait to go back next year and kick my time out of the water! I am even more determined to get going on my training and just improve. I am glad I am doing all these races b/c it is just getting me used to the whole thing and dealing with all the mental and physical issues now while I am new rather than waiting forever.

  • Comments: This was a well organized great race. These people put together great after race event.(yes I mean the beer and food) It was great that my mom got to come to my race and see what all the hoopla is about and she has now decided to come be my jockstrap im IMAZ!!!!And also racing with my coach. She did great even when she was not going all out. SHe probably could have placed overall if not for her being pregnant. This race really has me more focused on loosing weight now more than ever. I look at my times and knowing that if I drop the weight and continue to train consistently I might be able to be in the top 25% next year!! Atleast I think i can. To be continued.....
