We're doing the heart rate thing now?

It came with my ambit, so might as well. Useful data. Besides, I only wear the GPS 4-6 times a month, so won't go overboard with it.

I wasn't being judgmental.

you are doing Barkleys? oh gosh. Good luck! Are you planning on teaming up with anyone like Jared did?

From Jon on Sat, Jan 26, 2013 at 18:38:16 from 107.203.52.135

Cam- I'm number 10 on the wait list which means I have a good chance to get in, but not guaranteed. And I'm sure I'll work with people as best I can, though I'm certainly no Jared.

I wish you all the best! Really excited to have someone to check up on and hear about the training and hopefully race. Wow, I can't even imagine it- especially solo. I am in awe by Jared but without Brett I think it would have been a different story...
