Hey Josh, I actually know a couple of guys at Yale that are into triahtlons, and
I thought
there was a small club, its probably that they don't get the publicty, a major
problem at
big schools, search for Peter Chui and just tell him I sent you his way,
otherwise I can give
him your email address. Congrats on Lake Placid, I looked was looking at the
course
profiles, and it look quite tough. Maybe see you around...
