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
6. The fact each event's first heat (90-years-old +) always got as much attention and applause as the last heat featuring 2008 (and hopefully 2012) Olympians
.
I'll 2nd that. A little fact about Dr. John Taylor, 89, he was one of two 89 year olds. He still does triathlons at his age. How inspirational is that?! I talked to he and Anne Dunivin, the 93 year old. They were born on the same day, May 9th, just a few years apart.
