Taking a break from the nervous preps for the New Gig, I went to the St Louis Tri Club meeting the other night.
St Louisans, be proud: your own Sarah Haskins graduated from Parkway South and is now a pro ITU triathlete, ranked #2 in the US and #16 in the world. She spoke at the club meeting at the great Maplewood Bicycle. She was really cool and answered our questions way longer than the alloted time.
Factoid: Drafting on the bikes is illegal in triathlons, but it is impossible to enforce, and causes a lot of controversy. The ITU tri's reverse the problem and encourage drafting, making it a very different, bike-oriented event. ITU came out of the Olympics; the courses often have several "laps" to make the race more spectator friendly.

ps. The title is an allusion to a "cool" song by a Canadian artist. 1000 free CC points for anyone who nails it! Stay tuned for a new campaign on how to cash in your CC points! At CC, we provide "your portal to the Internet" and now "the CC point club".
CC dot com just appears to be all about me, but it's really all about you enjoying things about me.

It's actually Tom Cochrane and Red Rider, but you're close!
It's really all about you enjoying things about me? Cap'n, you're killing me!! [smile]
Googly Bear gets 1000 CC Readership Reward Points for getting the first correct answer. This is, in part, due to an error in the question (which asked for which "artist").
Colleen gets 1250 CC Readership Reward Points for providing a cooler, "more correct" answer.
Stacey gets 500 CC Readership Reward Points for appreciating the best line I've written in some time.
Thanks for reading, and you're most welcome for the energy and effort I am putting into this!
Sarah Haskins is amazing, I actually saw her run in high school (I only graduated a year after her, and was on the track team, though never any good). It is so cool to see how she is doing now! Thanks for the info!
