So, this is a time killer for me, as I am sitting around waiting for the Lonestar Half Ironman tomorrow.  Actually, I am doubling up this time, coach and athlete.  I am racing the half ironman that goes off an hour after the midshipman start their 1/4Man (nearly an Olympic distance race, with a short swim).  In two weeks we have Nationals, so this is a great prep race.  The mids can come down here and have a pretty laid back race scenario at a very, very well run race.  Keith Jordan with Endorfun Sports puts on races that are some of the best around.  He puts on two official 70.3 races, but there is not much difference in how each race is run, very classy.

As I posted some pretty silly pics of some really classy mids, I believe these guys get it.  These guys are just a club level team at a school full of Division I programs.  Most of the team is composed of former Div I athletes from basketball to swimming.  They are totally embracing the triathlon lifestyle.  Laid back, having fun, making jokes, but all the while getting ready to throw-down on race day.

Hopefully, I will have more pictures and great results to post soon.

Good to go?
