I have committed to a race in Maryland Oct 12th. The race is called the Brierman Half Light. I found the race because my neighbor said he needed a half prior to Clearwater. I really wanted 1 more tri this season. So I agreed to go along.
The distances are .85 mile swim, 40 mile bike, and 9.5 mile run. It is close to the first long course race I did in Medford Mass in '99. The course looks hilly, so it should be a challenge. It is also near the Appellation trail and the fall foliage should be awesome.
I have switched the bike over to a road setup and will only add the aero bars for the race. I will maintain the relaxed position for better climbing.
I have also done a lot of work on my Nishiki. It is riding really well and the morning commute has been a Joy.
Speaking of the commute, I was interviewed for the 9am show on WCPN (Clevelands NPR) about bike awareness. The segment will air tommorrow(9-19)
On the new frame search. I am leaning toward a Leader. Price is amazing, feedback is positive. The frame should be stiff and light with an aggresive position. This frame should do it and start me under budget.
Any how thats all I have right now. Be well.

I like those distances.....
in fact, if the swim were about 1.6 miles..coupled with a not so super far bike and then the 9 miles run..that would be perfect...that way, my stronger swim would give me a little space...and the bike is not super super long where everyone would blow by me....and i would just survive the run...
nice new header....how did you do the stipple thingy
