Bradley ,, you are a hyprocrite,,, caddies feel like that are almost a coach,,, if a football etc,,,coach was asked,,,,,,,, how do you feel about what happened today and said it was my most satisfying win,,, you would think nothing about it,,, and yes yoggi would say it was the greatest game he ever caught,,,;; you just want to caddy for tiger,, the media wants a story, and then they love to criticize because it is easy to write about

Thanks, I will have to look into that more. If I remember correctly they wanted qualifying times lower than 39:00 for my age group which I am not that fast yet.

best advice is to present a qualifying time, like this years time, that will no doubt move you somewhere further up in the pack. Presenting a time immediately get you in the better groups. I would suggest doing a smaller but legitimate race where there are far less obstacles/ppl and train well for that then present the better time to PRR -Atlanta track Club next go round

Amen to that. I have such mixed feelings about the Peachtree, it was my first "race", and it was a really cool experience. But I spent quite a bit of time and effort training just to get a time that's too shameful to even post because either I was moving at baby crawl pace with nowhere to go (first 2+ miles and a few other spots along the course), or zigzaging back and forth across the road trying to avoid running over people. I was in the last group to leave, the starting line.

I'm sure all of these lards will be busy posting on their facebooks and bragging at work Monday morning about "running" the Peachtree.

lots of fat ass walkers

if you need to walk some or all of the 6.2 miles, you should not have entered
