Edinburgh, UK

Edin-BURG, Edin-BORO, how the hell do you pronounce it? Either way, that's where I'm heading! This visit to Scotland will complete my "Island Trifecta" as I've already been to England and Ireland. This time, I'm bringing along my bike, and this trip isn't all about sight-seeing.

This Saturday, I'm competing in the Duathlon World Championships against the best Duathletes in the "World." We'll be racing 55-kilometers up, down, and around King Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh, which breaks down into a 10k run, 40k bike, and a 5k run. I'll be representing the USofA as one of the ten, 30-34 year old men, and our heat starts at 12:45 local time (5hrs ahead of you New Englander's).

The weather looks quite favorable for this race; overcast skies and a very low chance of rain. My training has been the best ever, and my bike is ready to rock and roll! I'm going to try to post results here by the end of the day on Saturday. So, please check back at the end of the weekend. For more information, and possible "official" results, check out the race website.
