Liberty to Liberty... well, not me, but my husband....

so, one of the reasons i'm having such a problem picking races for this season is my husband's schedule... and lets just say i'm not up do doing some of the races he does.

his next race of the season is liberty to liberty which is a weird sort of race. it starts in manhattan, where everyone swims a mile in the hudson (yes, hudson. yes. ew.). the swim leg is timed, but the timing stops once they get out of the water, because then everyone makes their way to the ferry that will carry them to NJ where they will start the bike - 91 miles, 76 of which is timed. the timed bike leg ends at the foot of the Ben Franklin bridge, and then they can take their time riding through Philadelphia to the art museum, where they finish by doing a 10k along west river drive and ending the race climbing the art museum steps a la' rocky.

i am exceedingly proud of my husband, and even though he's taking this race as more of a good training day for ironman germany, i think he'll do really well. i will be there taking pictures if anyone's interested in seeing them...

good luck to everyone who's racing this weekend!
