Who Can Resist?

The international distance triathlon consists of a 1.5 kilometer swim, 40 kilometer bike and a 10 kilometer run. The sprint distance triathlon consists of a 500 meter swim, 40 kilometer bike, and a 5 kilometer run.

All events take place in and around scenic Comlara County Park near Hudson, IL. These events are sponsored by the Bloomington-Normal Area Sports Commission and coordinated by Tri-Mom Events, LLC and the Tri-Shark Triathlon Club, Inc.

New Spirit 4 Aussie Rescue will also be there with a booth to help spread awareness of the Australian Shepherd and just how great of a companion they are to train for a triathlon. Also how they can give great kisses!

*** International race start at 7:00AM sharp. ***

Sprint race starts at 7:30AM sharp.

Not to start any wars between Cubs and Cards, but it looks like this pack of Aussies are all about the Cardinals!

Zoey, What Eyes

David Thurman — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 14:06:01 +0000

We have another beautiful blue merle Aussie in the program, she isn’t quite ready to adopt but will be soon, her name is Zoey, and she has the most striking blue eyes you have ever seen. She is a 4 year old female that has lost some teeth because of a fight she had with a u-Haul truck, the truck lost BTW, and she is a very energized lady. She will be a handful if you don’t understand the breed, but those that do, will find her to be what we want in an Aussie.
