I went to Hemet for a triathlon. This is a fun one because it is backward - run first, swim last. While I had been worried about racing in the rain (really more worried about crashing in the rain), when I got there, there was frost on the ground. I don't own cold weather running gear anymore and no cold weather cycling stuff.

Let me tell you, an elf hat does a great job keeping your head warm. I wonder how some of the big guys I went by felt being passed by someone in elf shoes. It was another fastest 5K and a great ride. See the antlers and red nose in the pictures. I hung out at the bike rack with my cooler afterwards. People were really surpised to get a beer but they liked it after a good workout. Finally I am starting to here, "Oh, I saw this really funny commercial . . .".
