Hello from Peachtree City!

Welcome Chris. You've definitely come to a great resource for triathlon knowledge. Not sure how long you've been in PTC so I'll just throw out some info. I also live in PTC and if you haven't already, you will find plenty of local resources too. We have an active triathlon club, Tri-PTC (website: http://www.tri-ptc.com/), which organizes a mock sprint triathlon every Wednesday evening at Drake Field at officially 6:30PM (folks start swimming early) through, I think, when the time changes back. The club has resident swim, bike, and run coaches who can provide guidance and organizes occasional events (i.e. clinics, guest speakers, reasons to eat/drink). There are also 2 great bike shops here, Trek and Bicycles Unlimited, who organize multiple weekly group rides of varying distances and paces. You can contact either of them for the current ride schedules. In addition, at least one (maybe more) of the endurance coaching organizations routinely organizes training down here. Endurance Concepts is one and often conducts swim, bike (and I think run) training here. Dan Arnett (Marvarnett) is one of the coaches on this site. Anne Chrzanowski is also one of their coaches, is local, and is the resident swim coach with Tri-PTC. And finally, the folks on this site regularly organize training opportunities. Unfortunately most of them are on the North side but occasionally there is something down this way or out on Silk Sheets. Best wishes in your race and training!

I get my tune-ups at BU and yes Mark swam for Nebraska? and is a swim coach. He helped me get my bilateral breathing down. I swam in their treadmill and it is interesting.  I ended up hiring Kim Bramblett for my tri training and she spent a tough hour with stroke analysis and teaching me drills.  I still hear her voice "yelling" at me to keep my right arm from crossing over -check out  www.multisportperformance.com .  In fact during yesterdays ride(spin class) I was surrounded by 4 people she has trained three of which are doing Augusta next weekend.
