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
I spent a lot of time with forumites over the weekend, so I don't remember who this conversation was actually between, but it was quite funny.
A: Have you met Karen Duggan?
B: No, I have no idea what she looks like. I know what her kids look like, but no idea what she looks like.
I heard that comment! Can't remember who made it either. Fortunately, I was able to spot Karen right away and get a few chats in! :) (Sorry about your finger. Ouch.)
And I did get to meet Gull finally, however briefly.
