::  2005 was spent in Atlanta, GA during my 2nd and 3rd semesters of grad school at Georgia Tech.  This includes the very hot and humid summer when I worked at Red Lobster while doing clinical rotations and got back into Ironman training.  I raced for the Georgia Tech Cycling Team in the spring, and was back to triathlons in the summer and fall.  I ended up getting on the podium for the first (and second!) time in an Ironman, double-dipping at Wisconsin as collegiate champion and 3rd in my age group.  I finished off the season with a 12:08 ironman PR and a 5:15 at the MiamiMan Half IM, which would remain my fastest until I started working with Brett Sutton and teamTBB in 2007...  ::
