Emerald Pointe Triathlon

I'm not a virgin, but only did a few so I can't wait to hit it again! Enjoy your cherry.....

 The water must be cooling down some.....

I'm on the wait list - hoping to get in for my 2nd tri after doing my first in August.  I will be in 45-49 (this time legitimately since I turn 45 the day before the race).  If I don't make it into the Emerald Point field, I am heading to Douglasville for the "Last Chance".

See you at the last chance if you don't make it to emerald pointe

Coldfire - from your race list, considering you lost your tri-ginity at last year's Emerald Pointe, you've become a full-blown tri-slut.  Good luck on your Half this weekend.  I'm planning on getting up to olympic/international next year, and MAYBE a half the year after.

OK, I guess I will know if I made the EP field about 2 weeks or so beforehand, so I will let you know once I know my fate in a few days.

Could use a little help here!

A friend of mine is registered and doning the race, I am supposed to do it with him.  Because of my work schedule, and other excuses, I have been unable to find time to register and now registration is closed.

IF ANYONE KNOWS OF SOMEONE, OR A WAY TO GET A NUMBER PLEASE HELP ME OUT.

x2 on all of that..

EP is IMO the best, most competative sprint in the area. Even moreso than TRI-PTC. It's end of the season, when most athletes are peaking, or have the recent work, to just kill this race. Be sure to watch out for Dollar on the bike course. He likes to nap somewhere toward the end of mile 1.

Awesome!  I asked my little sister to come down (from CT) and race with me.  She's been doing tris for 6 years.  This is only my first full season.  I'm feeling the pressure to perform and make sure that she has a great time (numerical and enjoyment wise).  I'm delighted to hear this is such a wonderful event.

lol. 

I'll be there as well.  This is my first season and I completed Callaway Gardens first and then Carrollton. 

Do any of your veterans know if Ipods are allowed? I'm not sure how to survive the bike and run without my tunes. I know a lot of people frown upon headphones, especially in road races (I started as a runner), but I get bored without some motivating music. I always listen at a safe volume so I can hear the many, many bikers coming up to pass me in the bike leg.

Looking forward to it.
