What is your favorite TN triathlon?  Chattanooga?  Memphis in May?  Rev3?  Local sprint? 


I have only raced Chattanooga, Music City and Rev3, all of which I think are great races.  But for me Rev3 takes the cake.  It actually might lead as my favorite race of all time.   I hope this race and the brand continue to grow in the coming years to be a big deal in the south.


What is your favorite race?

Chattanooga and Music City are fun and challenging... But am definitely with you on the Rev3 race taking the cake! Rev put on a great race and have an awesome timing system. They also had different activities for the family.

Well, the way Chattanooga kicked my BUTT this year, I would say it's not there yet, but is a great course, etc.

I am limited in experience, but I love Cedars of Lebanon, it was my first, maybe that's it...if they could only get that last few miles of pavement fixed...

I've only raced the Team-Magic races the past 2 or 3 years here in Middle TN and have only done the sprint races.  I may move to Oly next year, but I want that elusive podium in sprint first.  We'll see.  But yeah, I enjoy the Team-Magic races, Old Hickory, Music City, Cedars of Lebanon, etc.

Team Magic puts on some great races, Chat was good.. I really like the small sprint in pulaski called the Monster Tri, small event but run great and enjoyable.. plus I placed 3rd there this year so that helps..

rumor is that in 2012, Memphis in May will also have a HIM distance. That race has moved to the Tunica area, so it should be a flat course all around!

I have heard that rumor too.  If it is true, then I think the south is really on the map for early season HIMs--NOLA, Rev3, Gulf Coast, Memphis in May.  That is 4 great races within easy driving distance.  And it is excluding other great races like White Lake, FL 70.3, etc that might be perfect for others.

Heard the same thing from a past race director of Memphis in May. Might not be many hills, but there will be a lot of wind

The Springbrook Sprint, because I've won it twice

Seriously, though, I'm actually a big fan of the Tellico sprint, especially when the run was 4 miles instead of 3. Good competition, convenient location for me, and it's generally a time of the year when I'm really fit.

I can only say that I have done races in the West Tennessee area (and North MS). My favorite has been Memphis in May. Nice atmosphere, big race, lots of excitement. Start 2 Finish puts on good races.

The Rev3 was great.

Anything put on by RaceDayEvents is nice as well.

The Showman Shooter was my favorite this year.  Herb parsons has some pretty cool running trails.

The bike leg kicked my butt, I pushed it pretty hard so the run was tough also.

Anybody know if Rev3 at Knoxville closes out early? I'm thinking of doing this next year.
