FYI: The 2013 athlete guide is now on the Ironman 70.3 Augusta site

Sorry to hear about your collarbone... Heal fast...

Let's get ready to rumble!

Augusta weekend is upon us...

If you know me, say hi! I'll be wearing a red/black desoto two piece and have an IM tattoo (whatever!) on my right calf. Race starts at 0830 and I'll be in the first (of five!!) male 35-39 waves.

Hope to see some of you out there!

Good luck to all racing! Haven't checked the forecast but temps seem perfect. .

Good luck everybody!

dOOd went 4:41 after a long training week and no taper...dang!

How'd everyone else do?

5:49 here. We just had a baby 5 weeks ago so I have pretty much been a zombie for over a month now. All felt good until mile 5 of the run. Had to power through after that. Really love that course so it's on the schedule for next year. Now I just need to become a runner.

I didn't know Slayer was racing...

4:32:xx

There's some serious speed 'round these parts, I tell you..

5:29 broken collarbone and all. Didn't feel as bad as I thought it would, but the 6 weeks of severely limited training leading up to the race showed.

5:03. Beat my time from last year by almost 30 minutes.

Great job, man. Way to tough it out.

Wow, some really fast times posted! This was my first HIM and i completed in 6:39:xx. Wanted to make 6 or 6:15 but since this was my first, not going to complain. Things broke down at mile 8 on the run with bad leg cramps. I layed back some on the bike but think i missed my nutrition somewhat which caught up to me on the last half of the run. Regardless, fun race, great course and i have lots of room for improvement next year.

Slayer is a beast!!!!! Congrats to all of you that raced, too!

That race was awesome! The temps were perfect, although the wind seemed to pick up hard midway through the bike. I almost got blown off on two separate occasions.

Lovely day to race!

thanks y'all. i last minute decided to race and had no taper and a massive training week so i was pretty stoked. more importantly it looked like most peeps had a good time and lots of smiles. D00d, hatcher, and many more here rocked it too and Ga Forum was well repped. Onward and upward!!!

PS this race was done on 1 packet of ucan and cups of coke at aid stations 7-12. No more than 250 cals for that 4:32. Ucan avoid sugar until the end too!

Congrat's on your first HIM!
