Hello all you Triathlon fans and participants. Are you ready to rumble? Looks like tomorrow is shaping up to be a terrific day for racing. With highs expected to be near 70 degrees, you can expect the elite heats to be sweating it out and racing hard!
Thanks to everyone for voting. I'm going to have to say that it looks like you may have just picked a trifecta...My money is on Mr. Halpin for the win. This guy never ceases to amaze me. It seems that every time I see him, he's looking more ripped and fit than the last time I saw him. I don't think this boy's physiology knows when to quit! I think that if he gets into a groove that no body's gonna be able to catch him. My next bet will be on Ben Hoffman. Although he'll be trying to defend his Griz title from last year, he will have to run like an escaped convict to beat Brendan. Third goes to Todd Struckman. You guys may not remember, but Dr. Struck man ran a 3hr marathon in Seattle and took top 3 in the Garden City Triathlon last year, WHILE IN MEDICAL SCHOOL! Oops!
I'm not too familiar with the women, but have heard good things about Jen Lubke and Emily VonJentzen. Good luck to all the women and I hope the course record falls on what should be a great day of racing.
And don't forget the Roubaix on Sunday! Open Road is having a Pre-registration Party from 5 til 7pm tomorrow night. Come on over to sign up and have your one (or three) pre-race beers! This is a good time to check out the comp. start talking about how tired you are after racing the Griz and to whet your whistle before going over to the After Griz Party! I hope to see a whole truck load of you sign up for the Roubaix. Also, looks like there will be a fair amount of Spokane boys coming over here in an attempt to steal our thunder...seeing how well we did last week at Frozen Flatlands. Let's be sure to keep the medals (and bragging rights local, y'all)
Just in case there is anyone who wants to watch. A great vantage point will be at the Nine Mile Ranger Station on Nine Mile Rd. Be sure to get there by 10 am as the race will be rushing by about 10:15 am and you won't want to be in the way. Park OFF of the course and set up for some sketchy and very fast cornering on the DIRT. It will definitely be something to see!
See you this weekend "at the races."
Brendan at the 2007 Griz!!!
