Douglasville Last Chance Triathlon - 2010

So you gonna be race support or gonna run it as well?

You still owe me a rematch from 2 years ago since last year was flooded out.

This is an awesome race and great for both newbies and AG racers. Its at the Boundary Waters Aquatic Center which is a triathlete mecca for training in West Georgia.  The race is a reverse order run, bike, swim...If you blink, you will miss the swim at the end its so short....This race is the way triathlon used to be.....Its a sprint down the grass with everyone else and see who wins.  The run is on a grass trail.  The bike is on the road with some pretty steep hills in the beginning.  No fancy sponsers, lots of mountain bikes, people walking the hills on the bike...the swim is in a pool, back and forth under the lane lines from one end to the other. 
Here is what is truely great about this race...Big happy accomplished smiles of newbies for whom just doing it means something big.  A lot of folks will only do this one little race in their whole lives and brag about the time they did a triathlon as if they won Kona.  You can feel in the crowd that this race is not about Cervelo, heart rates and qualifying...This race is just about the joy and fun of doing a triathlon....I will be there this year...fresh from spending a week long bender in vegas...I may even leave my tri bike at home and ride my hybrid like I did two years ago when I was the newbie....Either way, I will be at the finish with cold beer and snacks because this race really is the end of the season and for a few newbies this ,may be the first day they fell in love with triathlons....

So like what has already been said, it is a casual race and a nice one to get your feet wet.

The reverse order is actually kind-of fun, especially the pool swim at the end because by the time you get to there, the race is spread out so you aren't climbing over others.  Given that it is a 25 yard pool as well, there is comfort in the fact that there are lane lines and walls to grab just in case....

Can someone provide the bike route?  I didn't see it on the website or the flyer.   I checked mapmyride.com but didn't see the route posted there, either.  Thanks!
