On Sunday, March 9th, I finished the Caesar Rodney Half-Marathon in Wilmington, Delaware in 1:43:31.  A decent time on a windy, cold day.  The Race Report is now posted, with photos - click here to read.

For those of you uncertain as to why someone would take the time to bother writing down long and windy stories about triathlon, check out the home page of the Triathletes of the Dead Runners Society, a group of triathletes that spun off from the Dead Runners Society in 1994 so they could stop cluttering the DRS with questions about wetsuits, the usefulness of PAM as a stripping aide, how to ride a bike in a Speedo, and other weird topics like leg-shaving, bonking, bricks, and bicycle gearing.

The main tenet of TRI-DRS list is the Race Report.  While there are few written rules for being a TRI-DRS member, the submission of Race Reports is what gives the list its life.  It's where you get to share your experiences - both good and bad - with people that understand why you do what you do.  It gives you a chance to reflect and perhaps learn from your own mistakes, to share in the endless joy of your own triumphs, and sometimes it can even give you a way to explain to someone that just doesn't understand why you would want to push yourself so far, so often.

Go ahead.  Send this page to your mother.  At least she'd know you're not the only crazy one out there doing these 'athalon' things instead of staying home and giving her grandchildren, or something.
