Sadly, instead of prepping for Triple T Saturday, I was in bed all damn day with some sort of effed up stomach thing, and happened to turn on the “Jeep World of Adventure Sports” and lo and behold, the “Newton 24 hours of Triathlon” was on. Pretty cool. Anyone else see this? Coverage was basic as it was a summary piece sort of, but nice to see triathlon on TV. Never saw any ST mention of it through the week.

Ha, ha. Not to be confused with Tapir, the animal:
Jay, so I guess your tapering. Rest up and get better.
BTW: The water warmer up nicely. I surfed then swam at CDM Fri.
Ya, I saw that on the HD network a couple weeks ago, and I started thinking who I wanted on my 3 man team for this year. Really cool how the format really rewards tatics, as well a versitility, as well as dominance in a single sport…
Thanks for posting this after it was over 
.
Good one Bob! Thanks for the laugh! You’ll never forget that freaky animal now, will you? BTW, the tapir apparently has one of the largest penis-to-body size ratios of any animal on earth!
Tapering for the Triple T? I wish. I’m in a frantic last-minute build! Being in Australia didn’t really allow consistent long training. I did manage runs and/or swims most days, but nothing particularly focussed. Today, I rode just over 60 and ran about 4 1/2. After being in bed all day Saturday, the energy level wasn’t where I’d want it, but at least I got in the miles. Arrrggg.
It’s a GREAT race and a ton of fun! I highly recommend getting a team together and racing it. It sure is strange heading out for a little 2.6 mile run at 2 am though lol! It’s kind of crazy because the deer come out in the middle of the night…you’ll be running along and one will just run across the path in front of you, scares the shit out of you!!!
