 Swim
Comments: During this swim I felt strong and fast. Despite the water vegetation to deal with this was my best feeling swim of my triathlon career. That said, I was shocked to see my time over ten minutes. I thought for sure I broke that time. But putting that aside, my most comfortable race swim ever. What would you do differently?: Thinking back to my being disappointed with my time, my navigation kinda sucked. I'll bet that is where I put some time on. So I would have sighted better.  Transition 1
Comments: Hell Yeah! I feel like I finally have T1 down. Nothing could have been faster. Running with my bike on my shoulder definitely is the way for me to go. Plus bike shoes already on the pedals helps. What would you do differently?: The only thing I can think of is to run a bit faster out of the water and with my bike.  Bike
Comments: I hate to say it again, but I was shocked to see I wasn't higher ranked in bike time. I felt strong the whole way, and pushed as hard as I could on wet pavement. So ultimately I'm pretty happy. So happy, in fact, that I'd also put this bike leg as my best of the year with how it felt during the race. What would you do differently?: Nothing...I would have fallen down otherwise. Transition 2
Comments: For me this was poetry in motion. About six riders clogged the timing mat in front of me, but otherwise this T2 is my best ever. Racking bike, helmet off, shoes on (Thanks, Yanks), and grabbing my visor with race belt clipped to it went great. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Run
Comments: My worst of the three disciplines. And yet, here I go again, I never felt out of breath, and kept a good cadence... a GREAT run for me! I don't know what else to say except that my wife said this was the best I've looked running in all the races she's watched. And her opinion means everything to me. What would you do differently?: Practice bricks more. Post race
Warm down: Sitting with my family and eating pizza. What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing but training. Event comments: I hope no one read this thinking I'm full of myself. I'm not. This race was just the most comfortable and fastest I've done to date, and I felt like a real triathlete today. It's that simple. Quick shout out to Tri-PTC for putting on such an AWESOME race. Everything was run absolutely perfectly and top notch. I'll be looking forward to doing both events there next year. So for anyone reading this involved with the race set up, "Thank You"!

Stayed at the Peachtree Wyndam, got up at 5:30. Had an energy bar and cup of coffee while getting ready. Once at Drake Field, I got body marked, clipped my shoes into my bike, and found my transition spot. Once again I luck out with my transition location. Not only am I at the end of the rack getting a bit more room, but I'm close to Bike Exit, and behind me is the fence. It was perfect. I ran a quick warm up, stretched, sipped some water, and chatted with some nice racers around me.
Previously mentioned run, and a quick dip in the lake to get used to the cold water and wet my goggles. Then I just waited my turn in the crowd to start.
