    I will be participating in Chatt 70.3 for the 2nd time.  My first was 2015 the inaugural event.  I am doing this one with my just turned 18yo son who will be completing his first 70.3 3days post graduating high school.  I had a little set back in Jan when I had ACDF (anterior cervical discectomy and fusion) surgery so I am racing 4 months almost to the day post surgery.  The Dr. released me May 9 to participate but not race at 100%, which I couldn't do anyway with the training I have had since surgery.  I feel like Colin and I can swim somewhat together and bike together but the run will be all him as I have lost so much threshold running during the 3.5mths of no running.  I will be lucky to make 8:30 pace on race day when my normal is <7.  Look forward to seeing many of you on the course and race weekend.  We are traveling in on Fri evening and staying at the Staybridge ~1mi from the river but will be around on Sat.  I frequent Chattanooga with work so if any of you have questions about it let me know and I will answer best I can.  Chattanooga is a great venue with plenty to do for you and the family and great selection of food as well.

    Great to see so many EN team members at this race! This will be my first 70.3 and I'm looking forward to it, with a good bit of nerves as well.

    Good luck.  I heard the swim was canx and I feel your pain since that happened last week at Gulf Coast.  You still need to execute wisely.

    Congrats to all the EN racers yesterday!

    The swim times for amateurs look blazing fast ... faster than the pros ... did they swim a different course?
  • Sabra GonzalezSabra Gonzalez
    @Paul Curtin - The Pros swam the full course. The officials shortened the course for us age groupers after watching them struggle to swim against the current for the first 300-400m.  So we just jumped off the dock and swam straight downstream.  The current was smoking fast! I finished the swim in 15:43.
