We're 9 pages up on the bEASTies.  Keep up the good work!

Totally agree!  In fact, I know several physicians that claim they will quit their practice if this entitlement comes to fruition.

I try to practice this rountine since some of the XTERRAs divide the swim into two segments.  They will have you swim the loop, beach run, then swim the loop again.

If the weather stays nice, I'm hoping to get out this week and practice in the ocean.

Got home late from work last night and was about to head out on a ride when my wife reminded me we had a meeting.  I had to cut it short but I did at least get out for a ride. After the meeting I went out for a run and it was wonderful. My time was a little slower then on the track at the Olympic Oval the other day, but it was still decent and the road is a little hilly so I am still happy with the run.  It was a beautiful and peaceful night.  When I got back I didn't want to go inside but it was 11:00 and my wife was waiting for me so I headed in. It would have been a perfect night for getting out the sleeping bag and sleeping under the stars. I probably would have had more sleep.  I woke up after 4 hours and couldn't get back to sleep.  I'm going to get really tired come 2:00 today.

Wow!  That sounds like fun.  So, you have only a vague idea of the route in advance.  Are you disqualified if you miss their route, but still make the checkpoint?

We already have a doctor shortage here in Salt Lake City and I don't see it getting any better.  We had doctors closing their doors before this came into play. 

We had more snow this week.  No OWS for the foreseeable future. 

I would like to do a ride like this sometime.  Its on my bucket list right before "ride across the country. "

Where do you OWS?  Utah Lake?

Keep up the good work twisters! It would be great if we could sweep all areas of the challenge. Things are looking good.

New brakes go on the bike today!  Got a good deal on Magura Marta SLs a while back.  I've just been too lazy to do the install.  I'm sure hoping for less modulation than my current ones!

Utah lake is pretty slimy. Lots of algae floating around.  There are a lot of reservoirs around that people swim in.  I think the most popular for tri training is a small local one that was just built last summer that is on the south end of the Salt Lake valley and Echo reservoir, which it the location of one of the most popular and probably one of the oldest tri's around. Echo is a little farther drive, probably an hour drive for me.

Red, carbon levers, red calipers.

Are you in Ogden?

I read about RAAM a few years ago.  It was the year one of the old timers of the race was hit by a truck and killed. If I remember right, he might be the guy that helped organize it. It would be cool to just qualify for this one.

West Jordan. 

OK, some friends of ours used to live in Draper.

I am surprised that you missed an opportunity to get in a separate post. 

And will you order delivery and have it handed to you while riding?
