Barbs Half Ironman, Vineman Aquabike, and Full Vineman welcome the cool weather

In years past, the weekend of the Full Vineman, Vineman Aquabike, and Barb's Half Ironman can be insanely hot. We're talking 100 degrees as you trot along the half and full marathon course at 3pm in the afternoon. It is brutal! This weekend all us racers are lucky because the high is supposed to be 80 degrees in Windsor, how awesome is that? Call Al Gore!

As many of you know, the Vineman course is one of Zoomzer's favorites. Swimming in the Russian River, biking through Sonoma County winereies, and running the country roads just can't be beat... assuming the mercury stays down. We also love this event because it is held on a Saturday, not a Sunday like most half and full ironmans, which allows you a full day to recover before returning to work. Gotta love that!

If you're in Windsor/Santa Rosa tomorrow, August 1, 2009, stop by the transition and finsih venue at Windsor High School. It's a moving and inspiration expereince to watch people finish an Ironman, we always get a kick out of it. See you tomorrow!
