When I was in Carolina Tri Saturday, some of those guys said they were doing it.  But I decided to do the one on March 30 cause Josh said he was taking us out to lunch for Eric's birthday.

5 days until the duathlon this weekend. They have less than 100 spots left. Should be a good event. I know a fair number of people will be heading to beach this week-end for the marathon. Hopefully the weather will be nice.

By the way, Peter, how did the 2/20/2 Duathlon go?  Nice event?  Good turn out?  How did you do?  I know I am about to get all the race results for February, but I was wondering how this went for you.

The turnout wasn't too bad considering the weather. It was cold and drizzly followed by a little snow. There were around 180 reg. and around 140 raced. It would have been a great race if the weather was better. I was 2nd in my age group. I ran really easy for the first 2 miles so I could have a decent bike ride and then planned to run hard for the 2nd run. By the time I got off the bike my toes were frozen solid. I switched into my running shoes and ran out of transition with my bike helmet on. I didn't figure it out until about 1/4 of a mile when I realized I had more than my beanie on my head. As I ran back to transition the guy who beat me went by. Rookie mistake on my part. I still got a silver "Man Purse" as an award. I would do the event again but wait until I was sure the weather forecast was good.
