These two young guys, Tyler and Travis, are the only Americans to finish a duathlon ahead of Watson in 2001. They could be the future aces of the sport. They are both fine competitors, let's wish them continued success. But, don't count on Greg getting out of the way too soon. He will make them earn everything they get.

Just read your article on the race this past weekend in Wrentham/Boston. I happen to be a proud sister to Travis! It was great to see the photos and the wonderful comment by KIWINICK. If interested, I've been keeping a modest website for Travis since his tri/du-athlon career began ... you can find it at http://travistrack.tripod.com

It was quite cold. That may have had something to do with it. Also a pretty stiff wind on parts of the bike course.

Eric, do you still do interviews? It might be interesting to hear from these two guys regarding their finishes ahead of Watson last year and their plans for the future.
