Duathlon Competition

I talked to Scott Gibson yesterday and it sounds like he's going to race in all three of the duathlons this year.  Ray Hall is sounding like he'll be racing all three as well.  Scott won the first two years we put on the race at Turkey, but didn't show last year.  Ray finished second two years ago and won last year.  These are the guys to beat.  I hope this inspires some of you to get out and train hard; give them a run for their money ($3200 total prize money for the series).
Ladies, we don't discriminate.  There's $1600 sitting out there waiting for you.  In general, competition in the women's division of our duathlon has been fairly lame.  If you're a female and you have ever been on a mountain bike, get out there.  It's fun.
The economy is kicking our ass this year, so sponsorships are not coming in like we want.  But we're still going to put in a first class race.  The DoubleShot will carry this thing if it has to.  So drink more coffee!

I'm hoping you guys are doing t-shirts (may I suggest dry-fits?) instead of hats this year? The hats were cool, but kind of lame too. I mean, how are we going to advertise the doubleshot with a HAT? Not to mention most of the women riders/runners probably don't wear hats?

We'll probably do more lame stuff this year.
How does a wife-beater sound? You should do the six-hour mountain bike race: http://www.sixrace.com

Wife beaters are cool. I'd definitely wear a beater.

Ok, next complaint: seriously, no blog updates? How are we publicizing these races? I mean, we got the first one coming up right around the corner (kind of) and your last blog post was in April?

Yeah, I'm still thinking about Six in the Sticks. You guys giving shirts for that race?
