OK...the wifey is doing this one. She did it last year also. Fun Tri, all women, sold out again this year. 650 total I think. Great course and a fun day all around for the girls.
Not bad to watch either.

Me! Me! Me!  I'm hoping to crush my previous sprint times. (And it helps that this one is a lot shorter. hehe).

Anybody want to swing by and pick me and my kayak up? LOL! I volunteered and borrowed a kayak from Brian, but the wife told me she is taking the SUV out of town that weekend. Doh!

I can pick you up, but I don't think I can carry your kayak in my vw convertible.  Boo.

I'm in.  This was my second race ever last year and I loved the all women thing!  Since I was not training last year and just "did it", I hope I can beat my time!

From what the wife has said....and viewing from afar....the swim can be a bit of a cluster at the start, what else is new.
The bike is great, slightly downhill.
And the run is very hillly with short rollers thoughout.
Last year they had nice showers running at the finish as it was sponcered by Hansgrove.

nothing like a wet girl at the finish..lol
im bad, so bad....sorry....NOT

I'm doing this one, too!  Looking forward to seeing everyone out there!  And just a heads up to everyone - you should get a parking pass in the mail for Sunday.  It says you will have to have it to park at Dallas Landing, so be on the lookout for it.

Good luck to everyone racing! This is a great race that I've done twice and I'm actually sad I'm not racing. But I know you guys will do awesome!

Did anyone get a timing chip with their packet?  I didn't and just wanted to make sure they weren't supposed to be in there.

Well...
Hope everyone had a fun event. We did!!
The wife and I went up the night before to see friends and check into the hotel.
What a great weekend weather wise. Couldn't have ask for a better morning. No wind, cool for the run, sunny at the finish.
Great crowd and It was good to see some people we knew.
The wife made some great improvements over last years time and upped her bike speed by a full mph and lowered her run pace 45 sec per mile!!! Plus she took off a full min in the swim...way to go honey!!!
Best to all for the rest of the season and looking forward to Peachtree City Tri in a few weeks.
Plus CONGRATS to my teammate Kim Dunker on the win!!
