All kidding aside, I would like to sag wagon for you guys, assuming you need it, and again all kidding aside, I am not anywhere near where I need to be to try to ride the thing. I will seriously check with the spousal calendar and clear those dates (I hope). But, and I say this with my most stentorian Orson Welles voice, if I make this trip, Bluegoose better be there too.

BTW, the truck is great fopr sagging. It has a water tight and lockable shell and can cary 3-4 bikes with ease inside all locked up and protected. It is a full crew cab (but buckets in front) so it carries 5 comfrontably, as long as the guy in the middle in back isn't a whiner.

We need the support as riders must provide their own support.

As I tried to put my calendar together for the year nearly every event was met with: "your son has a big meet that weekend". I have given up on any kind of a monthly race out of town. As it stands my calendar looks like this:

March: Lots of training

April 12th: Pear Blossom Run. Medford, OR

May 31: Newport OR Marathon (this depends on how I feel over the next few weeks. If I stay this slow then I'll probably skip this one).

June: Lots of swim meets so no running for me.

July: Redding, CA "Run through the trees" series. A weekly 4-5 miler @ 7pm. Tends to be hot as hell with temps often at or above 100.

August: Swim meets for the kids. Season ends in early Aug. so perhaps I can find something to run in this month.

Sept: Open

Oct: Open

Nov: Redding Turkey Trot T-Giving day.

Dec: Open

I did it 2 years ago. One of the hardest things I have ever done. The mile swim wasn't bad but then riding over to the stadium and then running up every stairway in between sections was rough. I think I was climbing stairs for close to an hour. Then hop on a bike and do the rest. It was brutal.

I think I finished around 8th or 10th. Behind bronco, but in front of all the players. I would like to to it again sometime, but I don't think my brother would want to participate. He is looking for something easy.

Ogden Marathon in May
Provo River half marathon in August
Either St. George or Top of Utah Marathon in the fall.
