Holiday Man is ON!

Hi Fits!

The rumors about the Holiday Man being cancelled were wrong! See email below!

Greetings from the HolidayMan!

Hope this finds all of you healthy and training!  The season is upon us with many races kicking off in the next couple weeks.  We have been working on the web site at   www.ivswimbikerun.com   and still need to add a few details, but registration is up and running for the HolidayMan!  Slight change, we have kicked up the run to match the "Mega" distances of the swim and bike, so you will now own a truly unique distance of 22.0375...!    Ok, that's 700m swim, 17.6 mile bike, and 4 mile run.  Don't think we will be printing up the cool oval 22.0375 stickers any time soon, but it is a cool distance and a truly unique race!  Shoot me a note if you have any questions, but in the mean time, get to the site and get registered!  Looking forward to calling all of you - a HolidayMan!  

Kind Regards,
Darin Jones 
Race Director
