2009 Peachtree City Triathlon
Another race has come and gone. This one holds a special place in my heart because it was my first triathlon back in 2007. I ran this race last year, but didn’t have the opportunity to improve my time because I was injured. Let’s get the important stuff over first: Thanks to Sharon and David …
