Georgia On My Mind

Tuesday, September 30, 2008

TEAM STL is thinking about adding the newly announced Ironman 70.3 Augusta to the 2009 race schedule. Rosenthal has already committed and Cragg is already OUT. The event will take place in the classic southern city of Augusta, Georgia on Sunday, September 27, 2009 (this is 8 weeks out from IM AZ) with a field of 2,000. Ironman 70.3 Augusta will offer athletes the unique opportunity to race in two states, as the cycling portion of this event will take athletes into the great state of South Carolina. Prior to the bike portion, athletes will swim a 1.2 mile point-to-point course in the Savannah River exiting at the Augusta Rowing Club Complex and the Augusta public boat launch. Athletes will then cycle a single-loop 56 mile bike course through the beautiful countryside of South Carolina before returning to the Georgia side of the Savannah River and the city of Augusta, Ga. Finally, athletes will run a two-loop course consisting of 13.1 miles, through the downtown community of Augusta finishing near the Augusta Marriott Hotel and Conference Center.
