I am not planning on any STREND competitions this summer. I am going
to do a few duathlons/triathlons. Spring STREND is really the best
for me as I tend to weight train in the fall and winter. I'll
probably see what is happening next year.

I can sort of understand the flagging interest in hosting STREND
comps. It certainly is not very economical and seems to only attract
a few of us exercise geeks.
