Off to Wisconsin this weekend to race state #41 in Portage. The Silver Lake Triathlon should be spectacular in pristine waters and on rolling country roads. I have already been made to feel like family with the outreach of support from the race director and the press. In fact, I am hopeful for an article in today's Portage Daily Register. I will add the link once it is up. But as a coincidence, the following town and state where I am racing was in this week's news. Toad Suck, Arkansas where I will race the Toad Suck Triathlon was voted "Most Unfortunate Town Name". Read the article here. I remember when I registered wondering why on earth something would be called Toad Suck. Apparently the history is rich and dates way back. I actually like the name and think Toad Suck should be very proud of their history AND their name. It makes for a good blog post. So bring it on... but first things first. Wisconsin this weekend.
