Did they do the Jingle Bell run at Heritage Park last year? or is this the first time jingling there? What a great venue and a nice change for the Jingle Bell race.

I'd apply for Speed Theory sponsorship, but don't think my 4:28 Olympic Tri finish time would count as "successful" in their books. It does in mine, though - "finish" before they take away the mats is success :)

The CRR Grand Prix "Soup Races" are the most affordable and funnest!
