Finally - the light at the end of the tunnel

My team kicks ass. Last Friday they got to ZBB (Zero Bug Bounce) two weeks ahead of schedule. Amazing work. And it's a good thing too - the weather flipped the "summer switch" here in Seattle over the weekend. It's about 80 out there right now!

Excellent article about the state of Triathlon

http://xtri.com/article.asp?id=1472 The author meanders a bit -- it turns out the article isn't about what you think it's about after the first page or so but nonetheless it brings up some great issues.
