Okay so here is a race that I personally signed up for a couple years ago, paid the money and everything, just didn’t show up for it.

I always regretted this, because I had trained so hard for it, but didn’t train right; I had complete burn out a month before the race and didn’t show.

So when I got the email that 2009 reregistration was open, I was completely tempted to try again! I’m still undecided and uncommitted to the idea, but the field is limited to only 400 participates so don’t your all go signing up yet!

What- American triple T Multi day event!

Where- Shawnee State Park Ohio

When- May 22-24 2009

Why- If you are a endurance junkie and love triathlons this is your idea of heaven! Four triathlons over a three day period. That’s right on the second day you will do a triathlon in the morning and then do it again in the evening!
