Every athlete has his or her specific goals and reasons for racing in whatever event he or she chooses; but overall most would agree that the journey to the finish line is what resonates in most athletes’ minds. Ultra-distance Athlete and Author, Wayne Kurtz

Here is the link for the Excel Spredsheet showing completed event and transition times, we hope to update these every few hours. Click here for the Excel page
Here is the link for the Real Time Results from the timing equipment, this is updated every 5 minutes and shows what lap each athlete is on and their placement. HOWEVER, this will be updated before the race with the correct website address as soon as I get the link from my partner who built the timing software. This will be loaded prior to the race, hopefully by Wednesday. Click here for the Real Time Results

I leave in the morning for Lake Anna State Park and to get ready to set the course up. We have 17 Triples and 26 Doubles at this point racing. One of the Doubles had to drop due to a death of a close freind. Two more athltes (one Double and one Triple) are battling medical issues and tyring to figure out of they can still make the race so we will see what happens come check in time. The weather outlook (those weather guessers) shows we are supposed to have nice weather for the rest of the week. Yeah!!! Lets hope it stays true.

We hope this newly designed website is able to answer your questions and has all the information you need to make the right decision to come race with us and be part of our family. I will be finalizing some content but most of the pages are pretty much complete. Let me know if you have problems or something you would like to see added that would help.
The Virginia Double and Triple IRON Triathlons are right around the corner. I will have a link in this section for the results and for pictures that I hope we can get posted. Not all that we will take over the weekend but a sampling of what is going on.
This will be our largest race to date with 45 athletes racing. 17 are competing in the Triple IRON and 28 in the Double IRON with 8 of those being women, the most ever in a Doulbe or Triple IRON anywhere in the world.
ALSO, the Triple IRON is being filmed. Here is what I was sent about the filming by Chuck Schultz: We will have a full film crew creating a documentary about the Triple Iron Race and 2 of the participants, Kamil Suran and Chuck Schultz. We plan on using 4 HD cameras - 1 on Kamil, 1 on Chuck, 1 on the other athletes and 1 shooting interviews and other "B" roll. Judy Schultz will be directing and we'll have a few others doing production. Anyone not wanting to be shown in this film, which we will be sending to film festivals around the country and probably the world, can opt out and we can edit those people from the film. Anyone wishing to help with this film can join the facebook group, Triple Iron Movie or contact Judy Schultz at jkropsch@comcast.net.
Follow Chuck and Kamil on their training vacation out in Colorado at elevation. They are competing against each other, and the others, in the Triple IRON while being filmed in training as well as the race. Click here for Chuck's Blog Page

Fuel Up, Get Ahead
By Anahad O'Connor/The New York Times/3July2011
The idea - advocated in popular fitness books over the past decade - is that exercising on an empty stomach forces the body to dip into fat stores for fuel instead of the carbohydrates quickly available from a pre-workout meal or snack. While it seems to make sense, research shows that exercising this way doesn't offer any benefit and may even work against you.
