Vidalia Onion Sprint Triathlon

Hi, All,

 A few notes since I just finished the brick for this one. First, the city is actually Lyons if you are trying to mapquest or google for directions. Address listed on the application is 985 Harden Chapel Rd.

The swim started at the bank, out toward a bouy 25 m, turn left toward the next bouy 25 m, then back to shore 25 m. (You make an inverted triangle from the shore.)

Bike started at the same place, so not a big distance between finish/start. You bike out of the subdivision (Creek Shoals Estates). Turn right on Harden Chapel to Hwy 1. Turn around, pass the entrance to the subdivision, go on to Hwy 56, turn around & re-enter the subdivision. When I passed the subdivision, I thought, good grief this is going to be FOREVER. Then when I got back, I thought, "Wow, we're here already?" So, it wasn't bad at all.

We did not do the run today, but were told that the three miles winds through the cul-de-sacs inside the subdivision.

Hope this helps. BTW, the weather today was more than great, only a few spots of sunshine even peaking through.

Depending on Dr final approval, I plan on doing this race as my final for the season.  I was scheduled to do nationals but a knee issue virtually put me out of training for a month.  I have a best friend from college that is a preacher in vidalia, so I have a place to stay and an added reason to go.  He said the bike is pancake flat and the run is "south Georgia hilly" which will be good for my knee. 

 If I do go, I look forward to sharing in all of the free Sports Beans that I am sure you will be bringing

Fred- Enjoyed meeting you at the race.  You ran a fast one.  I  don't think I could have kept you from passing me on the run with a bionic knee!

I am Senor floater.  I go to an artho for a consult on Friday, so Vidalia was end of season for me.
