  • Comments: Great course and very fun race. Something does need to be done about T1. That's a killer! Way too early to have to go through something like that!. I highly recommend this race to someone that is interested in triathlon.

  • Comments: Very nice venue. It's my first one and I'm from Florida so the hills were a little harder for me than I thought they would be. I would definitely do it again.

  • Comments: GMS generally does a good job. There was no major issue and everything ran as expected. I hate the day before bike check in as I am not sure why it is a requirement. The only thing I can come up with is the park wanted the revenue from the parking and did not want to man the front gate on an early Sunday morning.

  • Comments: This was a great race, and for my first tri it was perfect. The swim was short, which really helped me to be more confident. I wish they would have been a little more accurate with the description of the bicycle course...unless my version of "relatively flat" is very different from other people!

  • Comments: I could not have picked a better race as my first triathlon. It was close to home, and the swim was relatively short, which was good since it is my weakest sport. The uphill run to T1 was an advantage to me, even though my HR spiked somewhat, I gained ground on the competition making up some time for poor swim. Overall goal was to finish under 1:20:00, so very happy with the 1:16:11

  • Comments: This year was a little less organized, perhaps the weather had a part to play. I felt they were less strict on protecting the transition area. After the race they were not checking wrist bands of folks going in and out of the transition area which made me nervous. In fact, my sister went and got my gf's bike out of transition and nobody said a word. Overall though, I like this race a lot and the organizers do a good job.

  • Comments: This was a well organized event with a ton of volunteers and participants. My only recommendation is to have a little more accurate description of the bike and run legs - perhaps removing "relatively flat" would be a good place to start.

  • Comments: I would love to rate post race activities GOOD, and have in past years, but this year I was a little upset about a few things. No pizza-A: its warm, this year we were given lunchmeat cheese and bread. B:salty, and easy to grab and move on, buffet style seemed slow. Also I cheered the last finisher in under 4 hours and since she "took so long" ALL the vendors had already closed up shop and packed everything away-SHE BARELY GOT A WATER! No sandwiches/gatorade/fruit/prunes/crystal light/cookies/muslce milk/mix 1--NOTHING. In the past years of this event the vendors outlast the athletes and give their product away LAST. GAmultisports usually does a good job of door prizes, this year slim picking. But not from lack of stuff. after the awards plenty of items were on the table to be distributed but weren't. Overall I LOVE THIS RACE and will do it next year. I dont need door prizes or alot of post food but dont tease with a table full if your not going to give it away and dont pack up for those

  • Comments: I really enjoyed this race. It was a lot bigger than I thought it would be, but everything still seemed to run very smoothly. My only issue was with the day before bike check...totally unnecessary. After last weekend's bike mechanical issues, it was fun to have a good performance today. I still got beat by Bethany (my faster half!), but she flat out crushed it today! 4th woman overall! I'm so proud of her and I'm still holding my head high because I felt like I gave it an all-out effort today too. We've both come a long way this year. I'm really looking forward to solid training in the off-season and great things in 2010. Also, I'm so glad we found the Atlanta Tri Club and the camaraderie and fun it's brought to training. Never thought if would happen, but this sport has ignited a competitive fire I thought was long gone!

  • Comments: This was my second ever triathlon. Was shocked to find that I'd finished third in AG. I wasn't fast, others were just slower. Well run and fun. Fair courses with a bit of a challenge. Swim could easily be a bit longer. I'll be back next year.

  • Comments: Well run -it was my first Gamultisport and now I get the bias for these races. Volunteers, swag, food, expo all good stuff. The kid also walked away with a new Rudy helmet for being the youngest competitor, and I made off with a T-shirt for being a Clyde! Not to mention about 5 cases of Active water that the active guy did not want to put back in the truck so he was giving it away. The weather was perfect if they can order that up for every race count me in!

  • Comments: Good race, fast course, almost too many people but I never had the issue of people getting in my way. TONS of volunteers and crowd support. Very family friendly event. However, like always, not a lot of post race activities seeing as how as soon as the race ended, a lot of people left the venue. Now to get ready for Hickory Knob in 2 weeks, last race of the season.

  • Comments: Jim puts on a great race. Organized, fun, great t-shirt. Only complaint, bike drop-off on Saturday with race on sunday. Next year, stay in the resort overnight and have the family come watch = problem solved. Lots of first timers which is great to see the enthusiam, excitement and nervousness of the group. FUN
