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.)
