As the subject suggests, I will be relocating to ATL (from NYC) in mid to late March and I am looking for some guidance on the local swim/bike/run scene.
A little about me before we get started: 32 year old male, Australian, looking to live in the midtown/old fourth ward area, focused on 70.3 and full distance events (with the odd running event sprinkled in).
Masters Swimming: from what I can gather, the two main groups swim out of Georgia Tech and Emory. Does anyone have recent feedback on either group? Are any of you active members of these groups?
Running: are there any good run groups in the downtown area (inside the perimeter?)? Are there any particularly good spots for track workouts in the downtown area?
Riding: are there any group rides I could jump on? What's the good word with regards to outdoor riding in the A (it looks like a lot of freeways from what I can see on google maps)?
Local Bike Stores: any guidance on quality local stores and mechanics would be super helpful.
Aside from the above, any insights any of you could share on the local tri scene would be greatly appreciated.
