Ga Multisports 2009 Schedule - Posted.

Thanks Ron.  As a lot of you know, I have been shamelessly plugging the Turtle Crawl since I did it last year.  I am trying to get NAMSC to make it a club race next year.  It is a great race if you want a PR.  As slow as I am, I did it in 2:48.17.  My next fastest oly has been 3:06.xx.

You swim with the current and there is a lot of it.  My swim time for 1500 meters was 19 minutes including the run from the beach to T1.  I have never done faster than 28 besides that one.  The bike course and the run are completely flat.  Other than that, it is a great weekend getaway on the beach that is fairly close to Atlanta and relatively inexpensive.  It is similar to St. Anthony's, close to the same weekend, same type of atmosphere, much faster course, a lot closer to Atlanta, cool festival, turtle release, and live music.  Oh, and a very cool T-shirt.  I will get off the soap box now.  I hope we have a good crowd there next year. 

I was talking to Jonathan22 about the Turtle Crawl just yesterday and a friend and I are going to do that as our 1st Oly.  He said that you were very complimentary of the race.  Thanks for the inside info..... sounds like a fun weekend.

Neal,

 You've got me sold on Turtle Crawl.  I've set my target as that being my first Oly.  Emerald Pointe was my first Tri this year, and now it's going to be a long hard winter getting ready for Jeckyll Island.  There weren't too many people in that race the last couple years, but I think Georgia Multisports should give you a commission for all the people you've encouraged to do the race so far.  Looking forward to swimming with all those fish (not sharks)!

I am hoping to do the Turtle Crawl as well, but may not since it is on a work weekend for me and requires me to burn vacation.  Also, it is 3 weeks after St. Anthonys which is an A race for me..

I mights also try West Point and Georgia veterans depending on when the tri the parks races are.  I really like that series.
