Bring that new hair to Phili!

Hey...nice hair NH HP!

Sorry no good photo yet, but HP 09 wanted to share the good news that she successfully finished the Philadelphia Insurance Triathlon on June 23! It was a fun race but she sure missed the HP ladies, the cowbell, and the positive energy only the Caliente Pantaloons can provide. The course was far and away the 'friendliest' course this HP has ever 'tri-ed', the weather was brilliant and ~2 minutes were shaved off her run, a near miracle in itself.

This HP enthusiastically encourages the trip to She Rox Tri, which is said to be the EXACT same course, except for the swim, which instead of being upstream, is a point to point swim downstream in the Schuylkill River. Yes, it's true that 09 I was openly afraid of all the potential nasties in that river, I'll admit it, but she's still here and without flesh eating bacteria, so it's probably safe. She Rox is an all women's race on Sunday August 5, at 8:00am Check it out! http://www.sheroxtri.com/site3.aspx . Registration is still open and is $109.00/ea prior to July 9. If even 1 other HP is into it 09 is on board so give us a goal and c'mon board!

Oh, and for pre-race fun I'd suggest we look into staying in Media PA, a quick 10 minute drive from the race site and a neat little town with a great brewery for pre-race carbo loading. Of course all thoughts/suggestions are welcome.
