  • 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.

  • Comments: The finish line is about 1 mile from the start. You had to walk about a half mile from the finish to get to the shuttle. Beautiful little town & park. I'll be back next year.
