When I returned from my trip to Vegas and Branson last Sunday night, I was depleted. In a five day stretch, I had competed in three races, navigated five different airports and checked in and out of four hotels, all on a diet that revolved mostly** around a jar of peanut butter.
Last Thursday night under the bright lights of Vegas Bec and I placed 5th and 6th at the Super Sprint Grand Prix Triathlon.  This is a new (to the US) format of triathlon racing.  It has been popular in Australia and Europe for awhile and the Aussie race organizer, Mark Lees, has been working hard to bring it to the US.  He set it up in conjunction with the Interbike trade show which was going on in Vegas last week.  Unfortunately, the venue had to be moved across town - fine by me - better pictures with the Wynn and Encore in the background!
