I have a LOT of #1 favorite triathlons, including of course Luray. But no triathlon I've done has given me so much instant and terrific fellow-racer connection as my weekend in Luray. And it's 500 miles away! I can't make it back there this year, but it's high, high, high on my list for future years. You guys are fantastic.Jef Malletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10813038406728297919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359543817192302396.post-82577948557714252992011-04-10T12:24:11.131-04:002011-04-10T12:24:11.131-04:00You guys are all great -- I'm overwhelmed by t...You guys are all great -- I'm overwhelmed by the support.

I too was dreaming of the jacket and the whole experience till a stress fracture followed by drop foot in Jan/Feb leaves me happy to be running even a little. While I'm glad for the pressure of Boston to be off so I can recover out from under it...well....it SUCKS and you are allowed to be pretty miffed about it and even sulk a bit. Now the real job - getting healthy again!! I hope to see you at Luray!Cort the Sporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10944563723254134678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359543817192302396.post-39058486913848438612011-04-03T22:18:03.330-04:002011-04-03T22:18:03.330-04:00Not a continuation of Boston talk, just a thank yo...Not a continuation of Boston talk, just a thank you for what you do.

The first BQ he justified the expense of traveling to Boston because he had always wanted to qualify for Boston & just wanted to race it once. The second BQ he justified the expense of traveling to Boston because he wanted to run a BQ time at Boston. He is now attempting to BQ again, as the 2BQ race was a disaster. PLEASE take my advice, your BQ counts for 2 years. Go next year when you can run a competive race. Plus, we should be there to watch you race!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
