MajorTOM is in his third season of racing short distance triathlons (Sprint and Olympic). This year he boasts the highest ratio of training time to racing time having only done race reporting in 2007 for the TOM's at Eagleman 70.3, and will be doing only one day of race racing on August 18 at the Timberman short-course in Gilford, NH. This will be MajorTOMs third go at the Timberman sprint distance and he hopes for a PR and, for the first time, to not run into a kayak during the swim. Succumbing to peer pressure and the jeers of TOM-a-Lot, MajorTOM will be setting his sights on some 70.3 racing next year (Eagleman and Timberman), with maybe a marathon thrown in for good measure.
