My favorite sprint race ever!!!! Can't wait!

My goal time is 1:19:00. But after vacationing hard in Hawaii this week, the extra pounds will make that tough. Good luck, Cube, at beating your goal, and everyone have fun!

I got my eye on the big prize (Augusta), Teh Cube... PTC isn't long enough for a good warm up for Augusta, so I'm off to Fall Creek Falls this weekend in Tennessee!

It is hard to train long and race sprints with any speed but we'll see, always a fun day and a great race.

I'm heading down to but not to race. I wanted to see a race and get a good feel as to how they operate before my first one is Sept.

Yes! The Fall Creek Falls Olympic is Sunday. It should be a great venue, and I'm hoping to have a good race despite this cold I caught Sunday....

I'm in.  This is usually a good and well organized race.  I've gotten a little tired of wave starts recently so I'm looking forward to the time trial start.

Falls Creek Falls is a great place.  If you get a chance, you should ride up to Virgin Falls.  It is about 25-30 miles from FCF.  There are a couple of waterfalls that come out of caves and fall into bowls and  disappear.  There is also one that comes over a huge rock that makes a (cave/room).  After the water comes over the rock it goes back under it and disappears.  VERY cool...  I was just up at both of them recently.  They are not nearly as nice now as they are in the spring and fall when there is more rainfall.

Virgin Falls is about a three mile hike in if you take the short route.  The pictures on the websites do not do VF or FCF justice.  You have to see them in person.

I'm in too. Last year this was my best time of the season and I hope to beat it this year by 4 or 5 minutes. A better goal should be to finish before all of the food is gone!

Always a fun race, Kim and her crew do a great job putting this one on. I am hoping to be somewhere in the 1:03-1:05 range. Does anyone know if that algae that was growing in the lake is gone this year?

I'm in!  My second race and I feel slightly more prepared - same goal as haynes, get there before the food is gone!  I am looking to replenish with about 68 cookies.

No weeds this year! The tri club actually paid for a bunch of grass eating fish (carp?), and that, or something else, has stopped the weed.

My wife and I are both doing PTC.   We are not going to have time to scout the course.   Can someone give me an idea of what we are looking at for the bike and run.   Will they let us know when you leave on the swim part before Saturday morning?   Any info at all about the race and course would be much appreciated.   This is the first of 4 races we are doing between now and October4 so this is not my A race but I would like to do well.    (PTC, Calloway Gardens, Tri to Remember and Lanier, then rest.)

Best thing to do is read last years race reports...you will get all the information you need.

Maybe I do not know where to go to find race reports.   I went to the BT race log and pulled up the PTC race.  There was a place where it had 39 comments about the race.  However, most of them were about how people did and how much fun it was.  The only thing about the race itself was that the water was nasty.   Where do I go to get info about other things?

Course maps and general race info can be found at Tri PTC's website at:

http://www.tri-ptc.com/?q=content/race-information

I think this link will get you to the PTC Sprint Tri race reports:

http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/directory/link-detail.asp?linkid=4678

If not, the race name is listed as: "Tri Peachtree City Sprint". You can use the search function to search in the race reports category to find it. Lots of good info in the RRs. Best wishes in your race Saturday.

If you selected the race in your race log, you can click the race link.  It will give you a list all the past race reports.
