Smackdown! The Challenge

(Previous: The Background http://forum.slowtwitch.com/gforum.cgi?post=508579;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread)

“If you are in come out! Or is the play in the valley to rough?”

So I decided to challenge armytriguy to another race. It wouldn’t be fair play to challenge him to a race in which I may have an advantage (say a race with a swim), so I chose the Lighter Than Air Duathlon at the Naval Air Station in Lakehurst, NJ (http://www.raceforum.com/08/lighter.pdf). This race has more biking (20 miles vs ~18) and less running (~5mi vs 10K) than the Brandywine Duathlon, so it should be more suited to armytriguy’s bike strength. Not to mention being on a military base, which should make him feel right at home.

Armytriguy accepted the challenge, so the race is on for this Sunday. Game on!

Tomorrow: The Tale of the Tape

Gotta go with the Leftist!
