Elite 3371 | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Augusta : Official Thread I did this race this year. Considering it again for 2010. It was a great course. Rolling bike course, pancake flat run course. The only downside for me was the long trek to transition before/after the race. I know they had busses, but even that was organized chaos. The down river swim sure is nice though! |

Extreme Veteran 434 Stuart | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Augusta : Official Thread Augusta is agreat course. I plan to be back this year. I left a little time on the run that I want back. The swim is a PR course all the way. I think everyone swam faster than planned. |

Member 20 Lexington, SC | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Augusta : Official Thread I went down a few weeks before this years race to scoped out the course and actually rode the course and really enjoyed it. Since the swim is my achilles heel, I think that the river swim will help. I'm getting pumped!! |

Most likely you will need to get a hotel in Augusta. Bike check in is on Sat- you have to check your bike the day before the race so that makes driving in the morning of a little difficult. Also, the drive from Atlanta can be anywhere from 2-2.5 hours, depending on construction. I wouldn't recommend doing this. |

Since the swim is my achilles heel, I think that the river swim will help. I'm getting pumped!! If the swim is your Achilles heel, you're going to be in love with Augusta. I did the race last year and the swim was unbelievably fast with the current and wetsuits. I just kept smiling, and felt like I was cheating. They managed to space the waves out in a reasonable manner too, so I only got kicked in the face once or twice : ) The bike and the run are fast as well, although be prepared for a few hills on the bike (it's not as pancake flat as you might be led to believe). A lot of the downhill sections are cut short with turns and stops. But best of luck with your training! |

Master 1402 Cumming, Georgia | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Augusta : Official Thread I'm still undecided about doing it 2010. I'll be doing IMCOZ in November and don't know if this would be a good practice to nail down nutrition, pacing, etc. It is hard not to do it when it is in my backyard! |

Expert 1143 Wellington, Florida | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Augusta : Official Thread The wife and I are back for antoher round. Got my NEW ride so looking forward to taking some time off the bike. If I can squeeze a few mins off the run also, i'd like to go somewhere around 5:15. The Marriott is your best bet for Hotel options, makes everything stupid easy. $135 a night? Happy Holidays to everyone and best of luck keeping the lbs off this off-season. (im up 6lb over Augusta already, waa) Heres a pic of the NEW Rocket.

| Veteran 549 | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Augusta : Official Thread I believed it filled up in June last year but they allowed 3000 registrations and I believe this year they have limited it to 2500, but we know that can always change! |

Master 1402 Cumming, Georgia | Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 Augusta : Official Thread meaghanmeyer - 2010-01-21 11:46 AM There are rumors of alligator issues in the river? Any of this true? No need to worry. I can't count the number of times I swam the course and no sign of any alligator. There is plenty of food in the river so there are no starving alligators that I think would be desparate enough to go after a human. Come race day there will be so much activities in the water any that might be there will be gone. Heck I would go swimming in it right now if anyone wants to go Edited by csharp1171 2010-01-21 12:37 PM |
