This weekend my husband is racing in the
Toughman Half Washington Ocean Shores* Triathlon
This event has been growing every year and this year I'm expecting it to be HUGE because they have teamed up with TOUGHMAN and this will be a WOLRD QUALIFIER.
LOL, wouldn't it be funny if Lan qualified for worlds? I'd make him go. Wherever it is.
In the past it wasn't always properly run, one year the half Iron distance runners had NO WATER for 9 miles and it was hot that year. I was pretty upset about that. Its irritating when stupid mistakes like that are made. Other years there have been no volunteers at crucial turns and one guy went 3 miles into town before he figured it out. The event coordinator said it was the athletes fault, he should have known his course.
That being said, I have a lot of friends participating.

Last year Lan got 13th overall in the 70.3, he was about 3rd off the bike but ran slow but he ran the whole way. This year its not his A race so he isn't going to go all out.
But maybe we should rethink this... He isn't going to qualify for anything at the Lake Stevens Triathlon, the competition there will be just too stiff. Here, he has a chance. He's been running well lately but his biking has sucked. We'll see where he ends up.
I get to work all weekend so won't get to enjoy any of his racing.
