Lake Lanier Islands Triathlon (Emerald Pointe Triathlon) - TriathlonSprint

Probably should have worn the wetsuit. Water wasn't that bad but it took a couple of minutes to get over the initial plunge. Breathing and stroke went out the window for the first third of the race.

First time dealing with a mass start of any type. Think I'll be more aggressive next time.

Very long and steep transit to T-1. Took my time to not expend too much energy. A little disorganized and slow getting into the transition mode. Should have cut the time by at least a minute.

Still doubt that I'll run up the hill to transition next time. I do need to get into a hurry up mode. T-1 always seems to be sluggish for me. Also need get shoes suitable for the running mounts.

Had read on the BT forums that this was a fairly level course....WRONG!!! Still a fair and fun course.

Push a bit harder especially towards the end.

Still don't exhibit a sense of urgency in the transitions. Should have been out in half the time.

Be a little less careful with getting the bike gear off. Throw and go from now on.

Much better than I expected. Took a steady pace throughout.

Need to continue to build on speed.

Just kept walking around the finish area with water. Passed on the free chiropractor adjustments. Joined the food line after about 30 minutes.


Still suffering the effects of a bad chest cold. Very little actual training accomplished due to chest cold and flying schedule.


This was my second ever triathlon. Was shocked to find that I'd finished third in AG. I wasn't fast, others were just slower.

Well run and fun. Fair courses with a bit of a challenge. Swim could easily be a bit longer. I'll be back next year.
