Great host town!! Chattanooga puts on an amazing race weekend. Everyone was great! The swim is super fast and I was 15% faster than my normal swim due to the current. The bike course is beautiful, but a bit hilly for this Florida boy. Nevertheless, it was a lot of fun. The run is a 2-loop course. Good course support. Nice run. It can and has been very hot on past race days but this day was absolutely beautiful weather. Could not have asked for a better day. I’ll race it again!

Many hotels, easy walk to start, downriver swim, mostly flat. All logistics were well organized and the temps were perfect. Great to sit by the river at the end and think about what we all did.
