Random

I am doing 3 mini triathlons in 8 days. Despite the glimmering patina of 'triathlon', these are short events. Yes, one has to be fit; but as an example this morning's gig was 48 minutes.

Doing this, and watching people's reactions with a certain bemusement, is from my father's influence.

Sending hand-written thank-you notes to the event co-ordinator and volunteers is from my mother's influence.

This post occurred to me during the bike leg this morning. I don't know why.

I am very happy with the updates so far for 2009, it is what one expected of CC.
Nice to see we have made the big time.

Hey Michael! James Williams here. It's good to see you did the JCC triathlon again. We moved to OH, and I thought about traveling back specifically for the event, but eventually decided against it.

I checked the results. It looks like you slowed a little this year. Keep up the good work!

I'm definitely coming back for the St. Peters Rec Plex Triathlon on Father's Day. Maybe I'll see you there.

hi James! I was looking for you! Thanks for writing... I hope all is well in Ohio.

re: slow. I know! I was 15 minutes slower in the long from last year; yet only 4 minutes slower in the sprint. I wonder if the event distance changed? Or perhaps I'm just flabtastic ;-)

take care James
