Peregrine Charities Race Report - brrrr...it was a cold one!
I wasn't sure if I was going to make the trip down to Iowa since my sister's due date was the day of the race. However, I decided that since I had raced this race every year since it's start I wanted to go and support the race and the charity. The race director does an amazing job with volunteers, organization, and post race.
I like racing in the heat and it seems like it takes me forever to warm up. I knew that it was going to be a cold morning and to bring my warm weather gear. We had dinner with Hannah and David and David gave me some good advice that if I had any chance to get ahead of people I needed to bike my booty off so be warm on the bike.

Race Coverage - The Duathlete of the Year nominees will be announced later this week. And there is no way that Suzie Finger's name will not be on that list.
Her 2011 du resume has been stellar. She kicked off the season with a 3rd at Gear West behind Michelle Andres and Claire Bootsma, both of whom appear doomed to receive multiple award nominations. She followed that up with a big win at Apple, Minnesota's oldest and most revered run-bike-run. Then the "Real Housewives of Orange County" and Britney-loving athlete who has like a hundred dogs, placed 2nd at Turtleman....
