Okay so this is really going to be one of the last races of the season, and it would be a good practice for everybody, and for those who want to enter the world of Tri's. Jeff, Mo, Brian, Blake yall are included in this. Anyways they will have three distances
Half Ironman 1.2mi swim,56mi bike, 13.1mi run
Olympic 1.5k(.93mi) swim, 40k(24mi) bike, 10k(6.2mi) run
Sprint .5mi swim, 12mi bike, 3.1 mi run
This is going to be an awesome race, enduro sports is hosting it their are lots of sponsors and lots of support if it is anything like lonestar. So come out and race this event. It is the weekend of Oct 5-7 with the sprint olympic on saturday and half on sunday. It is Austin, TX

Then just do the sprint and then you will fall somewhere between the stars and the dirt.

Nope, but I can bike 24 miles and probably run 5-6 miles afterwards. But again, this is all if I dont drown during the swim to begin with. Therefore I would need a thick a$$ wetsuit with a crazy amount of buoyancy to keep me afloat while I paddle to the shore.
