This time it's for Bar-B-Que!!!

Austin, Texas. SXSW Music, Film and Interactive Festival. The Elvis Presley Memorial Combo at Chuy's. The Bats at the Congress Avenue bridge. The family style all you can eat BBQ at the Salt Lick. These are just a few of the memories that I have of previous trips to Austin. Now, its time for another one.

This May 2008 during Memorial day weekend will be the Capital of Texas triathlon. I'll be joining with Team in Training again for to raise money for the leukemia and lymphoma society to train and complete an olympic distance triathlon. For those of you new to this blog, that means I'll be swimming 1500m, biking 40km and running 10km. This is the same distance as the NYC triathlon last year, but this time in Austin.

Since the race is in the spring, we get to train in the winter. I picked up some new cold weather training gear this past weekend to last me through the winter months since our first GTS (group training session) will be this coming Saturday at 8am. Yes, that's right, 8am on a cold (forecast is around 32 degrees) Saturday morning in Central Park. So keep coming back here to read about this next round of training. On the plan for this coming spring/summer is the Capital of Texas Triathlon in Austin, the NYC Triathlon in NYC and possibly at least one half-ironman triathlon. Thanks for reading and remember, if you are willing to donate on my fundraising page to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the I'll do the work of waking up and running on a cold Saturday morning.
