MTB Duathlon
the central valley's first Mountain Bike Duathlon is going to be hosted by Tri-This! Inc. on February 21st at Hensley Lake. There will be beginner (1 mile run, 6 mile MTB, 1 mile run) and advanced (2 mile run, 18 mile MTB, 2 mile run) courses and both will be low-cost. I filled out some of the USA Triathlon sanctioning paperwork today and talked to other event directors to make sure we all work together to make all of our events successes! (Valentines day run on the 13th and MTB race on march 7th)

Almost end of the year!
The end of the year report is languishing because I moved into a house december 4th! The past week I've had no internet at home but now am BACK!
Last tuesday night four students and I rode the 4 miles in the dark and cold (33 degrees) to Fresno State from my new house to go to swim practice for an hour, then rode back! we lost feeling in our hands but it was a lot of fun! This coming tuesday we will do a similar thing except go further and faster at night! (ride to woodward park probably, do some sprint drills up there, and head home.)
We are also in contact with several uniform suppliers (mainly oomphsports.com who donated a bunch of tri tops and shorts a couple of years ago that have been the tri-gear glue that holds our team together:

We need to raise about $100 per kid, and not quite sure how to do that obviously! that's a ton of money for these kids, but I believe that making them pay for the uniforms is a good way also of ensuring their investment - they will keep the uniforms unless they drop out of the team, in which case I will take them back. we'll order some extra shorts probably/keep them pretty generic so it's easy to re-order.
My half ironman training is taking a break because I'm sick again; so I've been lifting weights...
