  • Comments: I did the Aquabike in this event which I was 1st overall. It's nice to get on the podium, however I want to get back to running. I've been recovering from a torn calf muscle and it's taking for ever. This is a smaller event, however Endurance Sports Management does a fantastic job putting this together. I will definitely be doing this race in the future. It was also a great race since the Chattanooga Triathlon club showed up in force.

  • Comments: I don't have a lot of experience but I liked the venue and I think the RD does a nice job on this relatively small local race. Everything went according to schedule. The goody bag included a nice tee shirt, a pair of socks and a drawstring bag.

  • Comments: Once again, this was a great race. Beautiful location and course. Everything on time, very organized, lots of volunteers. My only gripe is the lack of mile markers on the course. Post race spread was great, tons of door prizes given away. They said Awards ceremony would start at 11, but it didn't start til 11:50, which was a bit of a downer, but no big deal. This was my 4th year doing this race, I highly recommend it. Just make sure to ride some hills in training.

  • Comments: Going to give it a 4 but I have nothing to compare it to. I hated the long run in wetsuit up to T1. Everything was perfect after that.

  • Comments: Well...we're all standing around waiting for awards and it's announced "if you swam the correct swim course please come to the tent area and sit down.." They ended up giving a 2 min time penalty to the swim cheaters instead of a DQ and they will not use the results for USAT rankings. It was funny listening to people say they weren't sure if they swam the correct course or not. Give me a break!!! They had lots of volunteers on the course and lots of food when we were done. There was 1 biker who crashed and broke his collarbone in 3 places.

  • Comments: Race Day Events did a good job on this race this year. They had a lot of volunteers on the course with plenty of drink stations. They were a little slow getting started but after that everything seemed to go smoothly. I had planned to just run this as a long training day but I got caught up in the moment and couldn't resist the urge to compete. Seeing the times and knowing what I know now, I would have run this race differently. But overall I'm happy with the results, I was 9:30 faster than last year, and it was just my 3rd Olympic distance, and I enjoyed the day...even though it was to hot to race.

  • Comments: Once again, this is a great race - a hard race, but avery good one. They decided the night before to try and move up the race time due to the heat, adn they moved it up 15 minutes. Things went off on schedule. Tons of volunteers, nice post race spread. I will continue to do this race

  • Comments: Race was very well organized, friendly staff. Very nice T shirt, amenities. The setting is great. Nice lake, pretty scenery on the bike, and a mostly shaded run. Will definnitely plan to keep doing this race. The lodge is right at the race site so that is very convenient, too.

  • Comments: For the shape my body was in, it being my first OLY, and swimming that far in OW I think I did really good. My bike speed is coming up, my swimming is more relaxed, just have to work on running this winter.
