I am  not training much right now due to other commitments but I occasionally hit the road in midtown Atlanta.  If you see a white-haired geezer running near Piedmont Park, it might be me.  Be sure to wave.

Name:  Thomas
Age:  54
Hometown:  Oak Ridge, TN
City\Town:  Atlanta/Oak Ridge, TN
Favorite Training Places:  In Atlanta, I run and bike around midtown.  I sometimes swim at Georgia Tech
Triathlons Completed:  Norris Lake Triathlon multiple times  (This is a joke.  I swim, bike and run near Norris Lake in Tennessee frequently.  Sometimes, I do all three things in one day and call it a Norris Lake Triathlon.  I have a perfect record of first place finishes in this event.)  I never actually compete in real triathlons.
Current Goals:  Stay healthy, get back to training
