Congratulations to my old friend Mark M., for completing the Silverman triathlon last weekend.
Mark perservered through a multitude of injuries and put in some big miles solo at oh-dark-thirty this fall to get ready, and it sounds like it paid off.
Tough race, 30mph winds, 9,700 feet of climbing on the bike, and 3,600 feet on the marathon.
Just my kind of course, not some boring, sterile-ass trip back and forth like a hamster on a wheel.
Yakked with him tonight while he was driving home from Vegas, the stud even had the energy to take his wife to a show last night.
Kind of sad that Tyler Hamilton has gone from a premier bike racer to doing any kind of event that will let him in.

30 mph
that's some tough stuff
42 degrees and windy in the desert night on the run.
It took him almost 16 hours, quite the epic.
