Live From American Zofingen
Quote | Reply
Welcome to periodic updates from the USA's toughest Duathlon.

Beautiful morning here in New Paltz. NY for the first Spring running of AZ. Current temp is 44 degrees, the sun is out and the racing is going to be hard.

Long course athletes go off in 35 minutes.

Stay tuned for updates and some commentary from your recently injured smack talker Dave Roche.

PS - Tetsuoni says he nor I will not accept any blame for what Roche may say

15 minutes until the start of the long course. Lots of nervous energy and dumb questions.

Chris G says he plans to win it all

Later today KingMurphy's Law will resort back to non king status as he is doing middle course F1 this year.

Who will be the new king and queen. ML was both

Good luck to everybody today. After ~60 miles on the bike yesterday followed by only a 4 mile run, I'm glad I bailed the race -no matter how many ICBs there were going to be!

The story will be how fast can josh ride today and can anyone stay with him

middle course first run update

john hirsch was in first @ about 34:40

Followed closly by KML who wants annother title

In third about a day behind was our very own race director Tetsuoni. Jon and D Roche hugged a bit when they saw each other

Short course athletes are out on the run. The sc started a tad late as one athlete was in the dumper. I won't mention him by name but his son just broke his collarbone.

The sun is starting to warm things up. Not southern cali warm but catskills NY warm

If you've ever wanted to race in an absolutely beautiful location, this is it. I'm sitting in a great rustic pavilion overlooking lush green mountains. It really doesn't get much better.

We are now in the quiet time as just about everyone is out on the bike course. Middle courses should be back in about 30 minutes or so to start run number 2. We'll see then if ML has staked his claim for the crown for the F1.

Speaking of F1 if you are in Western NY next weekend check out one of the fatest and nicest F1's around, The Rochester Spring Classic Duathlon. F1 and Super Sprint options. I think it is in year 8 this year. You'd think I'd know since I'm the RD but after a few hundred races things get blurry, kinda like Tetsuoni after AZ.

Run on trails, bike on rolling country roads. www.yellowjacketracing.com

FYI Ladies - D Roche in boxer briefs is not a pretty picture. But he is going to be a lawyer

Rumor is that Josh Beck is in the lead after a 1:19 first lap on the bike. I'll do the math for you. That equals FAST

Roadhouse may have a new man crush.

D Roche is setting up the trainer. Much like Big Lance last year a bike crash can not stop the man

Other celebrity news (if you count me mentioning ML as a celebrity sighting)

Tara Costa from the biggest loser is here and racing. She was late to the start but she is out on the bike for the middle course right now.

Jillian can't help her out there

Why don't you wander on over to transition 40 feet away and do a live report on the condition of KML's P4...specifically you might mention the presence of any rusted components.
