Hi and welcome
The triathlon/running season begins this Sunday with Cherry blossom 10 miler at Washington DC. After saying no racing or formal competition in the first 3 month of 2008 only training the time has come to start the engines or in this case legs. This the first of many races this season were 2, ½ iron distance events and the NY city Marathon are the A races (important races of the season). Here you are going to know how my season goes up and downs on training and racing. Or what ever is going on so please welcome to my journey and enjoy.
