2016 Alabama Season

You're a busy guy.

I'll be doing Buster Britton, probably the Capital of Dreams oly in July, then I'll finish the season with the Alabama Coastal Tri in September.

Hope to do my first HIM in Chattanooga in May 2017.

Hi there! I will be doing my first ever triathlon next month, the Alabama Coastal Triathlon in Gulf Shores

Same here. Alabama Coastal Tri in Gulf Shores (the sprint) in Sept will be my first tri also. Good luck to you, TriShel!

Good luck to you as well - I am so nervous about the swim! I noticed the 1976 in your user name - I am a 1976'er as well, turned the big 4-0 in January!

Good Luck to you folks at the Alabama Coastal! Hopefully the cooling pattern will continue so you will have great weather! I haven't done an beach swimming yet, so that will definitely be interesting. I'm a little nervous about trying one, thinking the waves could be a major factor, but I guess everyone would be in the same boat (or hopefully NOT in one, lol).
I've finished up my season this past Sunday with the Rocketman in Huntsville. Highly recommend that one! It was a great race! A little hot of course on the run, but a very nice course and venue. My favorite so far of my 9 tri's I've done since I started last year, except for Toughman Georgia at Callaway Gardens in April. That one was gorgeous with most of it being in the Gardens. Wanted to go down this Sunday for the Olympic at the Gardens but being Labor Day weekend, couldn't get a room and it didn't work out.

I'm a little late getting back to the forum. Hope your 2 races so far went well, I've heard the Capital of Dreams is a lot of fun, with a riverboat start I think? Kind of like a mini Escape from Alacatraz lol. I got all my races in except for Renaissance Man, didn't make it to that one. So my season is over. Good luck on the Coastal! If things don't work out the Chatt 70.3 consider the Toughman Georgia in April at Callaway Gardens. It was my first 70.3 and I absolutely loved it. Beautiful course and I lucked out into some perfect weather that weekend.
