70.3 Check ins

Rev3 Knoxville or Mountain Madness, then probably something else in the Fall.

What is the prize? Maybe that will help me decide...

Heck, I would have signed up for the Norseman lottery if I had known I might win a GU pie...!

Oh, well.

Same here - getting ready for IMFL

Rev Williamsburg (23 June) and Goosepond (12 October)

not much talk about goosepond around here this past summer on the board.  if you're looking for an cool low key independent half then this is it.  ~2.5 hour drive from north atlanta in scottsboro, al.  fairly flat bike.  not much flat on the run but nothing to bad.  my fat a$$ ran a 1:53 off the bike but the course was ~.5 short.  rd owned that and promised it will be corrected.  plenty of cold beer to empty into the beer mug awards.  schwag you can use.. socks, arm warmers and a shirt.  race hotel was 69 bucks.  plenty of stuff to keep the three young beer fetchers happy.

later!  

Gulf Coast, Muncie and Augusta

no way jose, clean as can be.  come on over, i'll teach georgia and an auburn grad how to swim! lol!!!

SWEET nothing like a little SEC smack talk to kick off a friday!

Yeah, well Fattyfatfat, Unlike you Texas A&M folks we may not know much about football these days, but I cannot believe you just laid down a swim challenge to an auburn dude. It's kinda what we do here. And don't take that from Phat - I think he has been around long enough that he HAS to have raced that old infamous UGA triathlon at least a time or two. If he is willing to swim in that boiling hot mud hole he will swim anywhere. That said, I do have to admit I thought exactly the same thing when I read "Goose Pond" Triathlon....

I've done it.  

Setup does a great job, the bike is rolling hilly, run is rolling, and it's often hotter than heck.  It's generally held right about the first of June with temps in the nineties and high humidity.   

What are you looking for in a half?  Is this your first?

I have signed up for the Ironman 70.3 California Oceanside.

I may do the Rock 'N Rollman Half or the Rev3 Knoxville.  Still undecided on those at this point.
