  • Comments: This race was great. The food, the volunteers, the awards and everything else were Awesome! The Only thing was the finish being held in a diff place from the start and the lack of transport from one to the other. My hub ended up missing the finish and after the awards we all had to walk twoish miles back. bummer.

  • Comments: I have to say the logistics of this race is a definite minus. I am not sure I will do it again - it is especially hard for spectators with small children. The atmosphere amongst the girls though is just so great.

  • Comments: Finished race over a mile from transition area. Too few shuttles to get racers back to transition and cars. We had to walk which took a lot out of us.

  • Comments: This was my first tri and it was great. Only complaint was that the food line was long with people getting food that were not athletes. This needed to be better monitored. Overall a GREAT experience. So much so I've already signed up for my next event.

  • Comments: Of course there is the remote finish but I have to say that although I technically (!?) did meet my goals I was pretty upset at the finish that we were not informed the run was so much longer.

  • Comments: This is a great race and very well organized. The only bad thing I have to say is the shirts were way too small. I ended up standing in line for 40 minutes to trade my small in for a large.

  • Comments: I really like this race, the bike course is fast, but with some small hills. And the run is challenging for me, but not too hard. I'm a bit annoyed that they didn't tell us the run was long, but I'm not sure what I would have done differently anyways. I guess this might be the last year ado this race for a few years, but I'll add it back to the schedule at some point for sure.

  • Comments: Overall, this was one of THE best race experiences I have ever had, including all of my running races. I enjoyed the entire race, start to finish, and felt strong the whole way. I did great with nutrition, pacing and most importantly, had fun. This is a really big jump for me in confidence, because I've had some tough runs in my past few tri races. I just kept wishing for more on this race!

  • Comments: The volunteers were great. Throughtout the race, everything seemed well organized and well staffed. Two big problems that I had with this race are the inaccurate run course. There's no reason they couldn't have removed a block or the fisrt loop in the park to make a little closer to a 5k. And second, the lack of transportation back to the start. It was a little far and I saw no shuttles (except while I was running), and no signs of where to go to get the shuttle, and no volunteers pointing people in the right direction. A 30 minute walk back is not what I want after race. I was very disappointed in Georgia Multisports. Other than those things, and the extremely boring bike route along a major road, it was a pretty good race. Thanks to all the volunteers, including Neal who was sure to write my age in gigantic print. And all the NAMCers who volunteered and cheered for me even though I'm not one of them yet. :-)

  • Comments: Overall, I had fun doing this race. I think it was well organized and I enjoyed racing with many people from NAMC and TNT. Since it was a sprint, I was able to race decently, but I think if it had been a longer tri, I would have suffered.

  • Comments: This wsa my frist tri but I think it was very well organized. Despite my poor run performance I did have a fantastic time. I think had I not had such high expectations for myself on the run I would be raving about this race. I honestly don't think any of it was too hard and I think this is an excellent first triathlon for any newbies. Also, it was great to see so many fit and fabulous women atheletes. Not to mention every single person I came across was kind and encouraging. It isn't often in a race when you pass someone and they cheer you on and yell "awesome" as you go by them. That just goes beyond good sportsmanship and comraderie.

  • Comments: THis was a well organzied race. THere were lots of voluteers, spectators, etc. I liked the food at the end. I do not like the start and finish in different places though, it makes it difficult to watch. Overall, this was a good race.

  • Comments: This race is very well organized and once again GA Multisports did a stellar job. If there were any problems, they weren't obvious to the athletes. The post-race food is probably the best spread of any race I've done. They even had chocolate fondue for dipping fruit. The course is very well marked, the volunteers were awesome and everything went smoothly. I would definitely keep this race on my calendar.

  • Comments: The post race activities were high quality... food was great, t-shirt is nice! The only negative thing to say is that the line for returning chip and t-shirt was too long. The line for food was very close the the t-shirt line and the entire area was very narrow, so it was pretty chaotic. However, overall the race was very well done and I plan to do it again next year! I finished at the very back of my AG. The good news is that there is (almost) nowhere to go but up :) It was definately a day for learning experiences and for that I am thankful and glad that I participated. Most importantly, I learned that triathlon is not a sport for the passive. You have to be physically prepared and mentally engaged. I was not "on my game" for this one, but learned through it. Now, I'm revived for four weeks of training before the Peachtree City Sprint!

  • Comments: This race was really fun. I don't have any basis for comparison since this was my first tri, but I think the race itself was well run and organized but the post-race stuff could have been better. It was weird to finish so far from the transition area and there was not a good area to gather for post-race socialization.
