I'm already in Alexandria NH, getting ready for the race. Cloudy and about 60 degrees. I doubt the lake temp is going to go higher before Saturday. I don't see sun in the forecast.

I see there are 4 of us racing this weekend. I never seem to be able to locate the other trifuelers. So I figured I'd put up some clues as to what I look like and where to look so maybe you guys can spot me.

First off, we are hoping to have our "Running the Race Against Cancer" Banner set up somewhere for our "Team HQ" (There are 10 of us competing). So if you see people at that banner they will likely know me and where I am. Ask where Matt is.

And here is picture of my ugly mug after the Bassman race.

Best of luck everyone!

Big3-

I will be there at Mooseman; the water temp is probably going to be cold as hell. Anyway what else is new. I can't acess that picture at work; but I will be there I will be in the first wave since I am 32years old. I will be wearing my sleevess suit since my Xterra suit is on back order and they didn't tell me until I ordered it. I have a silver Specialized Allez; until my Cervelo comes in; I wear blue tri shorts and a grey sleevless nike shirt and I usually have a bandana hanging out of my shorts to wipe the sweat.

I will know it is you if you say "the eagle flies before dawn".

" I will know it is you if you say "the eagle flies before dawn". "

I expect "The milkman delivers orange juice" to be your reply. or if you forget that one. "The Fat Man in Newark ate the Square Oreo".

As for water temp. I was hoping to get a swim in today. But I'm working "remotely" and I can't seem to sneak away. Maybe I'll get to jump in after 6PM.

Catch up soon!

Cool; let me know how that water is; these New England races always tell people the water is warmer than it really is..

I decided to ride the west shore of the lake. Rather than swim.
Tough to stay in the aero bars along that road. Winter did a number on it.

I did go to the beach and the lake was like glass. probably 60 degree glass. I didn't have any way to test it though.

Also as a side note, if you need your car washed, there is a bikini car wash for Breast Cancer in Bristol on Saturday.
Funny stuff.
