Rodney T. Miller Triathlon

im in. But you new that.

Yes, I had a feeling.....

oh hi there team Spin City.

How about telling us more details about the race? Nothing shows up in the races section.

I was in it & enjoyed it! I think the race organizers are making this race better and better each year (I've done the last 3 years). It's great being able to race with some very fast elites! I'm a little biased since Decatur is where I grew up :-) The water's still nasty though. Swimming in the Ohio in IM KY last year was cleaner than swimming in Lake Decatur! Also, I think the post race grub needs an upgrade... Jimmy Johns doesn't taste very good to me these days... at least have some fruit & bagels or something.

Alright it is my hometown so I guess I can chime in.  They are trying to make it a pretty nice tri.  It is getting there and in my opinion in a couple years will be pretty top notch.

3/4th mile swim, 19m bike, 4.5m run.

Swim starts in a small beach front area.  Yes the water is gross but was ridiculously warm this year. They have many many swim helpers in kayaks and lifeguards around to make you feel safe.

The bike is an out and back, first four miles through the city rolling and turns, before hitting 105 and it is completely straight.  Stay aero as long as possible.

The run is basically out 2 miles of the bike course and back.

They had a nice tent this year with flat screen TVs showing the race while it happened to the fans.

The food was poor but that will be able to be worked on

If you are an elite: $1k, $500, $250 payouts.

If you are an age grouper, it is a good tri to do if you can get through the swim.
