BTW, these where the coolest Race Event tech tees I have ever gotten on any tri or running event. Full color prints and awesome material... Couldn't let that pass by. Helluva job on the shirts.

amedal - 2012-04-21 6:52 PM Yeah, that was him. +1 on the race report, bike course was spot on.It was a fun race. I got a slight cut on my foot from a rock coming out of the boat ramp and didn't get to enjoy much of the run, but overall I'm happy. A turf further down on that ramp for next year would be great!Thanks to all staff and volunteers for putting together a great race!!Now time to heal up and get back at it again...

Sorry you got hurt, those rocks were treacherous.  I breast stroked in and climbed that dock like a sea turtle so not to hurt my feet.  But other than that five feet, great race.  Thanks Jason for volunteering.

Duly noted.  I like the sea turtle approach, that is a good idea.  I will definitely keep that in mind!

A must do early season race.  I am only getting 3 hours of sleep the night before but I will be there.  This race is what has kept me motivated on the trainer all winter.

Jason-

Thanks for keeping this thread alive. I've only gone the sprint distance so far and was planning on making Augusta my first 70.3 distance in 2014, until I found out about this race. I am hoping to do the Oly distance in August to get a feel for the course, especially the swim.  

I know this weekend will be the first Half Iron and am hoping some folks will give some feedback as to whether or not this is a good "first-timer" race for someone who is looking to take the step up to the longer distance.

Looking forward to reading some race reports for 4.20 race.

No problem!  Good luck and we will be there cheering, so look for us.

 

It appears my image de-linked, so for anyone curious the water temp is about 67.

Chattahoochee Challenge Half Iron Man 2013

What a great event for up and coming Triathletes!

Medium size event with a personal touch!

The town of Columbus Georgia is beautiful.
Plenty of things to see and do while supporting your Triathlete.

Volunteers and locals were super nice.

I would highly recommend this event!
Thanks for the great experience.

jelly donuts are a good thing!
