I did it last year as my second race and I'll probably do it again this year. It's a very well organized race, good stuff in the goody bag, nice post-race food and there are some fast women that do this race. (but I'm not one of them )

Last year's race was my 2nd tri (I took the LaVigne approach and did not train...again).

This year's race will be my (Mistletoe, Acworth, St. A., RYKA, Vineman, Acw...) 6th tri, not counting the GC Bike relay.  And this time I've trained.  Sort of.... 

Driving up.  40 mins from my house.

My wife is doing this one for her second tri ever.

Hello to Greg's better half!!  Or NapkinBoy as I like to call him.  

I'll be at Callaway to cheer you on. My husband is also doing his 1st tri, and just learned to swim.  There's so much about triathlon it's difficult to post it on a forum.  Mostly it's learn as you go, but the key is to always stay calm and focus on your task at hand.  Have a game plan for transition, I.E. get organized about the stuff you'll need, when you'll need it and where you'll put it, and then try to have some fun!  The 1st one is always about learning, taking your time, having fun! 

Definitely come to some of our group workouts posted here and on NAMC forum! We love to torture newbies

Hey Mrs. Cornelius! (sorry, I don't know your first name I'll be at Callaway this weekend too! It was my very first race last year and although I didn't have a great race time it was great fun! I wouldn't worry too much about cycling in a large group of people, most people spread out pretty fast. Even at the Acworth race, which is a decent size race for around here, there were many times when I was by myself on the road.

I hope we can all meet up before the race on Sunday and at Acworth!

It appears that I reached my goal of not dying at Ryka and therefore I went ahead and registered for Acworth... about 24 hours before the foot fracture diagnosis.  The run is not going to be pretty.  I'll try not to trip anyone with my crutches .

Seriously, I am really behaving myself and following doctor's orders with the hope that I can do this.  If I can't participate, I'll volunteer and I'm in for meeting up at some point before/after!

Fun Killer plans on doing this race; although I don't think she has registered yet.

Team Collins might volunteer again.  That was fun at Ryka.

I don't know but we'll find out on Saturday. A bunch of people are meeting at Dallas Landing for an open water swim, you should come!
