My Training program is getting ready to peak here soon.
I’d like to say hi to any Slow Twitchers that are planning to do the Duke.
Anyone?
paco, I’ve been out of most training for the past two months for reasons unavoidable. I began trying to get back in to shape with the intentions of participating in the Duke Iron event, but today I’ve retorn an apparently not-fully-torn plantaris tendon. So, I can’t run. I can ride, but if I can’t run, I don’t even want to swim. Looks like I’m going to be biking only for the next month or two. Sorry I’m going to miss it this year. Last year’s swim injury aside, it was a great event…which reminds me: don’t go too far out to the right at the swim start…there is a stake out there that I thought marked the end of the submerged boat ramp…I was wrong. The concrete wall extends out past that stake for at least 20 more feet.
Have a great race! (If you’ve never done the course before, be sure to bring some climbing gears with you.)
paco: I am going to do the duke half. I am probably going to go out to cheer you guys on…
I wish I was, I want to do this race quite badly as my brother lives down there and I want to show him what a manly is like (unlike golf 
) Stupid friends chose that weekend to get married.
I hope that race will be around next year. Good luck!

Well, I was hoping to meet some of you cats…
Titan, thanks for the tip, …get better soon.
I just put on a climbing cassette, looks like it will be a change from the Virginia Coast (f-l-a-t)
Paco,
I’ll be there. Really looking foward to it.
Paco - I am in - my first Ironman - looking forward to it. Just did my last tune up race this weekend ready to wrap up this training and get going.
see you there
I’m in. Signed up last weekend. I was going back and forth between Duke and the GFT, but I decided to go with Duke. Looking forward to it – I think.

I’ll be down there too … on a 4-man relay (T4C). Am doing the swim/bike legs … although I talked to one of my runners last night and he may bail due to having to coach his kids’ football team and run a church small group on Friday night in V.B. Will keep an eye out for Messrs. Harris, Sandula, and Preston, and Team Hendryx.
