Found a n00b (newbie) site for triathlon information. Hence it interests me quite a bit. You Ironmen and Ironwomen probably won’t need it. It seems to have at least a little info about a lot of different things. http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/default.asp Found it from Carol’s blogroll over at http://www.triathlontrainingblog.com/

So, how was the the Coach Bubba 20K? As for the Rap Master Romp ->Missy Thang, Sandbagger, Lit’l Bit and I can all attest to the fact that Rap Master looked strong today. It was a good day to run. Not such a good day to swim, however. Lit’l Bit had to drag me thru [...]

So I had an idea.  I was thinking of doing something a little unique.  Alex coining Sandbagger and all, I figured I would throw this out to the group to see who is *really* in. Interested?  Involves lots of running (duh) and some hot weather (a lot hotter then what we have been running in) [...]

Alex went on a business trip down to the Big Easy and brought us some radioactive beads. Man was it cold. The 60 degree forecast was correct. 60 Kelvin. We picked up a stray named Val from another running group. The ladies nonchalantly posted a sub 9 minute pace, which I was happy about while [...]
