Let's be positive here folks as this was a superb meet. Here's my TT list of likes (in stream of consciousness, not necessarily priority)
Too many inspirational / motivational people and swims to count
Meeting many (but not nearly enough) forumites & bloggers
Mark Gill announcing -- keep the guy on the microphone as much as possible (Paul Smith, think caffeine drip and catheter setup:))
The dry side facility -- smoothie stand, spectator seating, the view of both courses, the scoreboard, the reaction times on the scoreboard
Ga Tech Hotel -- exceeded expectations
Ga Tech Trolleys and easy access to the pool
Starbucks across the street from the Ga Tech hotel (gull, FYI)
Location / easy airport access
Indoor facility -- I love to train outdoors and race indoors
The super-friendly support staff / volunteers running things with efficiency and southern charm
1. The efficient registration process.
2. The location of the gold parking lot.
3. The free shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the locker rooms.
4. The awards - nice ribbon and design.
5. The blocks.
6. Plenty of deck space to sit and move around.
7. Too many positive and encouraging people to count!
8. Easy to go back and forth between the hotel and the pool.
9. The hard work by the volunteers.
10. The level of competition.
A few have complained about the fried chicken, but I LIKED the fried chicken in the hospitality room. No worse than donuts or pizza. I'd rather eat fried chicken than some frou-frou salad with tofu. Kudos to somebody for thinking to put at least one traditional southern dish in the hospitality room.
