Hey Jeff! I just found out that you're planning to stage a 1/2 IM in upstate NY. That's terrific news and the timing for the race is great. Your most recent article here on slowtwitch has created some interest on another message board (trinewbies.com http://www.trinewbies.com/...d=19020&posts=12) and people there (myself included) would love to learn more about the race. Care to elucidate some of the details if available? Hope planning is going well. Keep us posted! Silke
