I had to take extreme measures - last night I entered a Sprint Triathlon in San Marcos, just down the road. It's at Aquarena Springs, until recently a tawdry tourist spot where Ralph the Swimming Pig used to entertain the crowds. This will be my first opportunity to see it since Texas State U took the springs over and has supposedly returned them to something like their natural condition. The bike leg could be nasty, though: the Springs are at the foot of the Balcones Escarpment, which is quite impressive in this area. If any other 65+ members in Central Texas are interested, it's called the Texas State Tri and it's on April 21.
If you're over 70, though, please don't sign up - the only way I'll place is if there are no other contestants in the over 70 age group!!! I'm so stiff that I lose a lot of time at the change-overs - gotta figure out an old-man way to quickly put on bike and running shoes over wet feet!

Question for Burr: What's GOPD??
