Anyone here doing IM 70.3 Augusta. I am and it should be an awesome race. I drove the course the other day…not as hilly as you would expect.

I am between augusta and longhorn… will have to decide. Glad to hear its not as hilly… considering we really don’t have any big hills around where i live.

I’m in for it. There are others here that are doing it. There was talk about meeting in Augusta one weekend and riding the course. Can’t remember who was suggestion it but a few people agreed to it. Probably do an easy Slowtwitch pace of 25-27 mph.

It’ll be my first HIM, I’m pumped about it. Long way away though…

It’s actually illegal here to swim in the Savannah River…

I am also doing the race. Sounds like rolling hills. How was the pavement and was it white line and then grass area or a bike lane? Here I have rough roads, white line and the ditch. It will be a nice change of pace. See you there.

The Pavement was nice…it is mostly on highways. There is one part of the loop where they take you off the highway for a climb, about a couple miles or so but then you descent back down and get back on the highway. The run course is awesome…right through downtown Augusta (2 loops).

Any word on the river in general?? Big, wide and slow or what?? Please elaborate if possible

Thanks…this race has made my “maybe” list…

I’m in. Signed up last night, along with Great Floridian

The river is pretty wide, not as wide as the Ohio for a comparison. The swim is with the current so that should be nice. I’ve never swam in it so I can’t tell you much more than that.

I am in hopefully. I signed up about a month ago but I have developed a stress fracture in my tibia. Hopefully I will be healed in enough time to train for it.
