I just thought I'd post a quick note about the Camp Pendleton "Devil Dog Duathlon" on April 26th. I was thinking of doing this race for fun, so I went to their site and checked out their participant's list. It looks to me like participation this year is extremely light as compared to last year. I think this is primarily due to the fact that they are in the unfortunate position of being the weekend before Wildflower, and a few weeks after both the Cali 1/2 and Big Rock. (The 1/2 IM was earlier this year and landed on the weekend that this race was last year.)
Anyway, I'm think Camp Pendleton hosts some really fun and chill races. The base is very supportive of multisport, and I think we ought to do our best to return the favor. Hopefully this race will fill up. I think it would be a shame if it isn't well supported. Especially because the proceeds go to improve the quality of life for the CP Marines and their families. If you haven't been following the news, Camp Pendleton Marines have been in the thick of things overseas, this may be an opportunity to be supportive and have fun at the same time.
If you haven't done one of these races in the past, you should give it a go. They really are a good time. If you're doing Wildflower, just make it a good brick workout and get a t-shirt for it. (They're shirts are usually among my favorites.)
