Nation's Triathlon 2009 to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

Well, the time is here again to start the fundraising for this years Nations Triathlon! As I will be trying to better my goal of last year ($5655), I am going to train harder and longer for this event as I will be trying to complete this event in the top 20%. Here we go!

TEXAS INDEPENDENCE RELAY!!!!

Well, we all survived the latest run this weekend... As I am here at work typing this blog with only 9 working fingers. After slamming your finger in a car door and braking the bone, you find that you can run 4 miles faster!

The team: OFF DAILY!!!, was beaten by some 118 other teams... We finished with the time of 32 hours, 22 minutes, and 53 seconds, and had the team pace of 9:34.8 min/miles.

The race started Saturday, March 7th, at 6:44 a.m., after trying to sleep some 4 hours on the junior high gymnasium floor in Gonzales, TX. Then some 33 hours later and 203+ miles of running down the roads of TX, we found ourselves in front of the San Jacinto Monument, eating some Papa John's and drinking a ice cold Heineken.

This is not the last time that you will hear of "OFF DAILY!!!", as we will be competing again...
