Open Invitation - Hickory Knob Triathlon

I thought I'd put a note here about the triathlon that I'll be doing in October in the USA. I'll be home for visits with churches and Montreat College and have signed up to run the Hickory Knob Sprint Triathlon on October 11th.

I would love to have some people join me! If you've ever wanted to do a triathlon but it's never happened, this is the one! The sprint distance is 750 m swim, 20 km bike, and a 5 km run. The Olympic distance is twice those distances.

Let me know if you'd like to do the triathlon! It would be a LOT of fun to connect up and run it together. It's going to be a great celebration of the fitness gained over this past year. It's going to mark a year for me after the beginning of the weight loss journey. It will be interesting to see what my final weight range is by that time.

Also, if anyone knows of a used bike I could buy let me know. I'd love to have one to use when I'm in the states, I need one for the triathlon, and in a year we plan to be in the states for some further missions training and it would great to have. I'm 6'6" tall, so need a road or possibly mountain bike made for a tall guy.
