Peachtree City Tri...whos in??

Red line? I puked twice on the run in Chattanooga (okay, 1 1/2 ... but the 1/2 was only because I didn't have enough on the stomach to make it a full).  Previously I had thought that I needed to do these races in Z4.  I was wrong.  I did the entire Chattanooga race >Z5  ... apparently when you push it too hard, your body rebels

This is an awesome race. Kim Bramblett does a phenominal job and the Peachtree Tri Club is a class act.  The volunteer support from the community is equally as good.  Even though it is a short distance race and therefore will be painful this year (see notes from Chattanooga above).

Be sure to stick around for the awards ceremony.  It is great to see folks you "know" from other races pick up their hardware (something I will not have to worry about!).

Me, too!!!  I think we should add "mimosa drinking" to that list, too!  I'm happy to be in charge of that  

I'm unfortunately out. Stress fractures of tibia after the PTC olympic in June. I will be volunteering for the swim portion with a safety kayak however so at least I'll get to participate in some fashion. Looking forward to a great race. To answer an earlier post, every Wednesday night, the PTC Tri club runs a mock sprint distance tri over the exact bike and run course (you can make the swim whatever you wish since it is OWS in Lake Peachtree). The meet at the PTC library parking lot (called Drake Field) around 6:30 (swimmers typically start a little earlier since 6:30 is roughly when biking begins). If anyone was interested in meeting up for a ride over the course one evening or weekend, contact me. While I am banned from running for a while, i can still (and do) bike. The PTC Tri club website is at: http://www.tri-ptc.com/phpws/ if you were wanted additional info on the weekly mock tri.

 I'm in the same boat.  Oh well live and learn.  Good luck to everyone that is competing!

I'm signed up for Peachtree City.  Last year, my first one doing triathlons, often I waited until the last minute to register.  I missed out on several good races when they were sold out and learned my lesson.

This year I registered early for everything so I didn't have to worry. Unfortunately I have been sick or injured a few times and spent more than $200 on races I did not do in '08!  

I wish they would allow you to transfer or sell your number in triathlons, it would make things alot easier.

Looking forward to Peachtree City,
Justin 

I wish I only spent $200 on races I'm not doing.  

Some of them do let you transfer to another race if you give enough notice.  I think Jim at Multisports let's you switch around among his races.

There was some vegetation at the International distance (Oly + a couple miles extra on the bike = "international" last May; suspect the warm summer sun has helped them grow.

Think of it as an east coast version of PacGrove ... and motivation to get out of the water.
