"Good news, we've received your check & you are now a confirmed participant for the American Triple-T Ohio! Your conf # is ... !"


Yes, I finally did it and signed up!  I am sooo excited as this race is legendary around local area triathlon circles both for the unique experience and the difficulty of it all...and did I mention, supposedly incredibly HILLY!


"The American Triple-T Ohio is based on a unique 3-day, 4-event, long distance format triathlon with participants competing on 2 person teams or in the solo division. This event is unlike any other triathlon and offers participants intimate camaraderie not often found in traditional triathlons."

They say-

"This is one of the hardest events you will do."
"People claim it is harder than an Ironman."

Guess we shall see!

They also gone on to say-

 "You're in for something special. Shawnee State Park is the proud host of the American Triple-T and looks forward to showcasing their awesome park on May 20 - 22 of 2011 Shawnee State Park is located in the Appalachian foothills near the banks of the Ohio River. Shawnee State Park is nestled in the 63,000 acre Shawnee State Forest, once the hunting grounds of the Shawnee Indians. The region is one of the most picturesque in the state, featuring erosion carved valleys and wooded hills. The rugged beauty of the area has earned it the nickname "The Little Smokies." Solo and Two person teams! The American Triple-T is a unique 3-day, 4-event, Full Distance format triathlon with participants competing on 2 person teams and in the solo division. The American Triple-T is unlike any other triathlon and offers participants intimate camaraderie not often found in traditional triathlons. The field size is limited to just 500."

Oh, I have wanted to do this race for years but have never been able to commit until now!  Not only that, it appears there is a large group of CTC and BAFF team members heading down for it which is sure to add to my fun factor!  

Also I am excited to have an awesome partner as the other half of Team Edwards, the non-related super awesome Tim Edwards! Time to get my butt in gear as this will be the start of a busy triathlon season which again will be ended by a return to REV3 Cedar Point Full!  Woohoo, bring on 2011!
