10 Mile Confirmation

It's official. This just came in the mail:

I'm #11210. I've got 10 days to convince myself that I CAN hold on to sub-6s for 10 miles. That I CAN put up with the pain for 59:xx. That I CAN survive until the end.

Oh, and here's an important Farm Animal Update: This year, the Cow (Matt) and the Chicken (me) will be back to cheer for the marathon runners, but the pig is being replaced:

Instead, we'll be having a Raccoon (Mike) and a Moose (Borsch) join us!

So marathon runners, look for a jolly group of 4 random animals about a half mile from the finish line.

No runners, you're not hallucinating.

Yes, those are farm animals you see there.

;)

p.s. If you're a "local," consider becoming a fan of the "St. Paul Triathlon Examiner" on Facebook. I'll be posting links to my articles and other things going on in the local tri / du / swimming / biking / running community, and by "liking" this page, this info will just appear in your FB news feed. So CLICK HERE and "like" the St. Paul Triathlon Examiner! Thanks!
