Last night, our coach, Robbie Bruce, and X3 Endurance put together a little shindig at the former CAO headquarters in Nashville. These triathlete cats are swank! 
Free beer, food, wine, and damn near anything else you may want from a health conscious workout crew, including samples of Huma, which is a Nashville based energy gel patterned after the Tarahumara diet. There were several endurance big wigs in attendance, including Nashville Running Company’s, Lee Wilson and his staff. 
X3 had big white sheets of paper on the walls with 2013 races across the top, which the athletes all signed if they were planning to knock it out. The Fab Five all checked in under the Ironman heading and took a team picture by the fire pit. 
The triathlete contingent in Nashville seems to be alive and well and I look forward to pounding some open water swims in February!

Tomorrow, I will be taking my talents to South 12th Street for the 12 South Winter Warm up 12K. Lots of 12’s in that sentence! I told Jim, who is above with the flowing silver mop, I am shooting for his Huntsville Marathon pace goal of 7:46. We’ll keep you posted on that one. After the run, there is a big time beer festival, which I am evidently partaking in, that starts at 11:00. Wish me luck on both accounts!
