The fresh water area was really fun because I saw so many animals I had never seen before and many species of turtles! Other notable aquarium exhibits included the new lemur exhibit, the butterfly garden, the alligator bayou, electric eels (that actually send out tweets!), the adorable otters and penguins and the jellyfish room with mirrors making it appear as if the room went on forever!ĭefinitely one of Chattanooga’s most unique attractions, Rock City is located atop Lookout Mountain, just 6 miles from downtown Chattanooga, Rock City is a true marvel of nature featuring massive rock formations, gardens with over 400 native plant species, and breathtaking views where you can actually see 7 states! One of my personal favorite parts was Lover’s Leap waterfall! To be honest, I used to want to be a marine biologist so I absolutely love aquariums, but the Tennessee Aquarium blew me away! Located in downtown Chattanooga, the aquarium includes two different buildings- one for freshwater animals and one for salt water. All worked great.A town that you might not have heard of, but that you definitely need to add to your bucket list is Chattanooga TN it was voted the best town ever and after visiting I can confirm the truthfulness! There are so many things to see, do, and eat! 1- Tennessee Aquarium – Things to do in Chattanooga TN One thing I also did was carried a ziplock bag on the run filling it with ice so I could put it were I needed it. Some tech gadget fails derailed my some of my target race goals but I enjoyed the race. I followed a lot of them out there today and kept heat under control. IREP Athletics / The Training Plan Source We have a few athletes racing so I did a quick podcast on strategies for Bike and Run Heat Management as it is defiantly going to be toasty! Best of luck to all racing.Īvailable on ITUNES or Stitcher - IREP Triathlon Podcast Overall, it's a great city and great venue for an IM.Īnton84 wrote:Who is in this year? Looks like it's going to be on the toasty side weather-wise second year in a row. I guess that all depends when you're running though.
There's some shade when running along the river, and perhaps a bit on the north side. The hills on the north side of the river are no joke, there's virtually nothing flat over there. It's then flattish for a while, with a steep punchy climb before crossing north over the river. There's a good one almost immediately out of transition that you do only once (you run down it just before finishing). The course profile will show you the hills. They had my bag before I came to a complete stop. Not sure if you plan on using SN on the bike, but it was the fastest and most efficient of all my IMs.
Pretty nice roads once you get out of town (at least for a north Texan). Outside of that, the bike is mostly rollers, hardly anything I'd call a real climb. On the first and last 5-6 miles of the bike, just watch out for road issues - potholes, cracks, lots of manhole covers, a couple of R/R crossings, etc.
Sighting was easy and I had minimal contact. pacing myself on the run with those hills will be challenging.Not much to say about that swim. sounds like the bike is mostly rollers with a steep section at hog jowl rd, is that correct? anything else to concern myself with on the bike? on the run sounds like barton ave is the killer. swim of course should be smooth sailing as all with current.
