Amanda,

I was born and raised in GA around the ST MTN area way back when. I heard about the ING marathon and took the virtual tour of the course. It looks like it is going to be a lot of fun. I wanted to do it, being the first ever and everything, but it conflicted with a triathlon that I will be competing in this Saturday. Oh well...I will just live vicariously through you. Make sure you post a race report afterwards. We want to hear about how you finished in 1:59:59!!!

Jim

Amanda,

If you think that sounds fun then you should come down to Macon on June 3rd and hang out and watch us do the Rock N Roll Man Half Ironman Triathlon. A handful of my tri club folks are doing this one so it should be fun!!!

It is a 1/2 Ironman so you swim 1.2 miles, bike 56 miles and run a half marathon 13.1 miles. (Total 70.3 miles) In Macon the swim is in a lake and I have heard the bike course has some rolling hills so a little tough but nothing drastic.

Amanda,

Oh trust me...you don't have to swim fast, just fast enough to meet the cutoff time. It's more about just finishing. Once you do that then you can start working on your times.

Yes it is in June so we will be looking for you and give you our bib numbers so you can cheer us on as we pass by. Tell "Wade" to work on that bike because I hear the Macon course is a lot of rollers (hills) and is pretty tough.

We will see you in June!!!
