I was thinking about either the Sprint Du or the Dirty Du. I just checked my email and Somersault sent one saying that the participation was so low they might have to cancel the Dirty Du. I really wish there were more participants in these races. Calling all "multi-sporters"!!!

I know that dude ... I remember that race well .... running in up to 5 inches of slush, snow, sleet .... blisters galore ... :? What a fun time that was ... :lol: :wink: Ha ha.. that's too funny. I was there too - it was tough! It was only my second 1/2 and I was NOT at all prepared for 2+ hrs of r...

I run with my black lab and I echo everyone's comments. Typically we only run about 6K-8K and I leave him at home for long runs but he has gone up to about 12K. I know, I know, it's so hard because they get so excited when they see you're going for a run. My husband asked the vet once and he said as...

Yeah, that's me! Congrats to everyone that was racing at the Canadian on Sat. I know I had a blast and it sounds like everyone else did too. I really must meet some of you maniacs in person...well, I've met you a-not-so-slow-5!

Congratulations Crash on having such a great time and accomplishing your goal! I was actually there racing in the Sprint Du as well. I wish I had known who you were... I really must get myself to one of these meet and greets! My husband took these pics at the start line and I realized that you, Bob ...

Congratulations on a great run! Enjoy that post race high - you've earned it.

Good luck everybody. Wish I could be there.

I'll be there running the 10K with a group of my co-workers and friends. Looking forward to it.... well not really actually - it's a really hard course I think. Hopefully I'll see you there!

I'll be doing the sprint du. It's my first duathlon and I'm super pumped!

Congrats Joe! That is very impressive for your first one. Not only are you a fast cyclist.. you're a fast runner too! Love the pics - you look really speedy.

You will find that a pool noodle will not be dense enough to help you at all. I would also avoid some of the other suggestion of using plastic or glass to roll on. The foam roller is a very good idea and can be used for a variety of different exercise ranging from simple massage /release to excellen...

Everyone looks awesome in these pics. I've made my best picture my avatar too. Not sure how they actually got one of me running at the NCM 1/2!

Cool. Thanks! I guess you've already got me figured out anyways Jess! Sorry... haven't had time to put up my profile or avatar yet. See you there.

Thanks to everyone for a warm welcome! I put off joining your group for a while for fear I would spend too much time surfing the site but then I realized I was doing it anyways! Thanks as well for all the good wishes for the upcoming NCM. I will try and find your group after the race. This is just w...

Hi Everyone, I have to admit, I've kind of been lurking for a while myself. I'm running the 1/2 at the NCM on Sunday and my bib # is 7292 . It's my 3rd time doing the 1/2 at NCM so I'm hoping for a good one. I'm shooting for 1:59:59 (with some luck!). Good luck to everyone running this weekend. I'll...
