Lard Butt

Talk about 'Get Cracking'...Lard Butt is proud to be 'behind' a Seattle triathlete, Pete Spear, who's in the midst of preparing for Ironman Canada, in Penticton BC on August 29!  We've produced a series of custom, LardButt.com-branded gear for his training and for the race.  Speaking of training, Pete, who is built more like a linebacker than a distance runner, is not messing around:  Today, he did an 8-mile run, tomorrow morning will find him swimming two miles, followed by a 60-mile bike ride on Saturday morning.  Within the next two weeks, his running distances will increase to 14 miles, interspersed with continued 1-2 mile swims along the way.

And it's a good thing: On August 29,  Pete will start his day with a 2.4-mile swim, followed by a 112-mile bike ride, with a 26.2-mile marathon run serving as the finale!   For anyone in the Seattle region, keep your eyes out for a big guy running, biking and swimming in LardButt.com  gear between now and August 29...and encourage him to Get Cracking!

We'll have periodic training updates as the race gets closer.
