Stumbling through the darkness of the Arizona desert, I see no sign of the Marine I’ve been stalking for the past fourteen hours. Going head to head with a man young enough to be my son, whose body fat is about [...]

Race day coverage will be over at Ironman.com.
Note: according to Squeeky, it is *NOT* pronounced Lou-y Ville. You need to swallow any sound after you get the Lou out, then say “ville” from the back of your throat. [...]

Ironman Arizona

On a dark desert greenway, dull pain in my thigh
Sharp sting of Coppertone, burning my left eye

Yes those are the air raid sirens going off. Actually, those big sirens are what wake up all the folks in Chatham county when there is a nuclear melt down at Sharon Harris. And they are going off because there are only 245 spots left for the Duke Half Triathlon 2008.
Who is joining? [...]
