Your schedule for tomorrow

I've heard that some of you have resorted to placing Scat Mats under your Christmas Tree to keep animals away from the tree and presents. I have only one thing to say; don't even think about it! And this spring, please don't put wire fence things around your prize-winning cabbages. They just get in the way.

In real news, tomorrow is the first day of the competition and I expect to see all of you at the pool. Another team registered this morning and more could be waiting till midnight to sneak in before the deadline. We've got work to do people!

You. Pool. Tomorrow.

Who's on our list?

Welcome back my pretties for another fun edition of the National Challenge Competition. We're a day away from the start and there are 56 clubs registered so far. Will we make it to 60 clubs? Are there that many triathletes around the nation willing to find out just how fast a Snowshoe hare really is? Didn't they learn anything last year?

You can see the roster of teams competing for second thru last place at the link over there on the left under my photo. There's a nifty interactive push-pin map that shows the clubs from around the US. And if you scroll down you'll see more pictures of me (I just love it when they do that) as well as the club bio.

I see that San Diego just signed up. Are they trying to be casually late to the party or something? Pleeeease. And Washington D.C. is back. Didn't they learn? And why aren't there any teams from Washington or Oregon. Whatsamatter' guys. Did you melt from all that rain?

Life's busy and sometimes takes a bit of craziness to get a workout done. We certainly proved last New Year's Eve on our frozen lake ride that we had more than anyone else in the nation. They only wished we could have wimped out on a few workouts and stayed in but us Snowshoes are a hardy breed. They'll be wishing again this year.
