hey, if any of you jokers have time betwixt all your "running" and "swimming," i have a student who's doing a research paper on triathlon who could use some help. he is required to conduct a personal interview as part of his research, and i was wondering if anyone would be willing to talk with him; e-mail or IM would be fine. he'd like to talk with someone who's completed a tri; he's hoping to do an ironman one day.
he's a marathoner with over 50 finishes under his belt, so he might be able to give you some pointers, too

let me know if you'd be willing to talk with him, or you can email him yourself: cerwok[at]hotmail[dot]com. his name is steve.
