Newby-Fraser and Huddle around the Tri Club BBQ...


Tonight's Tri Club BBQ went off without a hitch, with Multisports' Paula Newby-Fraser, Jimmy Riccitello, Paul Huddle, and a couple other pros stopping by to socialize and offer tips to those in attendance. A keg from the Coeur D Alene brewery flowed, and Isaac flipped burgers in the back for a crowd of maybe 60-70. Paul and Paula gave a short talk on race-day prep and execution, then the floor was opened to general questions and funny stories (weed-smoking spectators at IM Hawaii, cheaters hiding in the bushes to grab better swim splits, and wetsuit-stripping volunteers being the first to discover an athlete forgot to don his swimsuit under his wetsuit......). Four of us (Mike, me, Isaac, and Brian H) will be helping out with the camp on Saturday, helping lead out groups on the course. It's scheduled to be a relatively nice day - let's hope for some sun!
