Subject: RE: Goosepond Island Half Distance Triathlon in Scottsboro, AlGood to see a thread for this race. (yeahyeah, im late to the party ) Its an awesome one. This is what the sport is about... Smaller sizes, great course, beer drinking afterwards ( and the night before too!!! ) Definitely recommend this one. Borden. Just looked at your blog. Awesome job man and at Florida to. I remember seing you out on the run and then at the awards. I took second in the big boys division, still crushing beers out of the mug! 10-4 about the course. I saw my garmin file when I got back home and thought oh sh+t I cut the course. So I shot Parker an email asking him for a dq. He told me about the snafu, big relief as I felt pretty bad about it. He'll get it fixed this year. the host hotel was great. No issue with the wife and three young ones. Also plenty of things for them to do while I was out pretending to be a triathlete. You can come and go to the park during the race. There is a playground and the host hotel had a pool. So the kiddos were squared away. dinner the night before was at a joint called the docks. Good food, cold beer. It's close to transition. I'm sure the locals have a ton more info, but that's what I got for ya from an out of towner. |
