Nathan & I just found out we got into the Wolfman triathlon at the end of this summer. We are so psyched !I heard about the Wolfman right after we had finished our first tri a few years back and have wanted to apply ever since. Held in Langlade, Wisconsin (near Green Bay), this rather small 300 person sprint tri is a bit different than most in that the swim leg is substituted with a 3 mile kayak down the Wolf River, followed by a 13 mile mountain bike and ending with a 3.5 mile trail run. Since space is so limited, they choose the participants based on who gets their application in first. We had ours ready and postmarked Jan 31st and have been anxiously awaiting ever since.
The really cool thing is now we need to get kayaks. Ever since we moved to Madison (which is surrounded by lakes) we have wanted to get our own and now we have the perfect excuse....training!
Although they are not cheap, if you get the right one, they can last you a lifetime. Lucky for us, this weekend there is a HUGE paddlesport exhibition and sale at the Alliant Energy Center here in Madison - Canoecopia ! Put on by a local outfitter, it is a mecca of all things paddle related. Hopefully we will score some good deals and we will soon be spending many a summer afternoon paddling across the calm waters watching the sunset.
