They will be rocking the full iron distance this Sunday at Ironman USA in the usually sleepy town of Lake Placid.
Last year a big group of us decided 2011 was going to be the year we all were going to complete the full iron distance. We selected our races and began training. We cannot even begin to count the amount emails, tweets, phone calls, texts, FBs, kicks to the butts, and pats on the back that have been exchanged among the group. Knowing the hard work, pain, and sacrifice of each member of our group makes this Sunday special.
With that being said I am more nervous for them this weekend then I was for myself during IMTX!
And in traditional blogger fashion they will have the eyes of the interwebz upon them.
Here is a list of who we should be tracking:
#918 Jon (SwiCycloRun) Leonard Campbell – @vrljc
#312 Mandy Farrar (Caratunk Girl) – @caratunkgirl
#2213 Bryan Payne (Training Payne) -- @tri_bry
#1709 Derek (Tri'ing 4 Iron)
#1147 Jason Rodriguez (Tri Tech Blog)
To make it even easier to complete your stalker duties Kevin @Ironmanbythirty went ahead and created direct links from the IronmanLive site so we can all enjoy the one-click follow:

Of the group above every one but Bryan are first timers! They have all put in the long, hard hours of training and will reap the rewards of those efforts on Sunday. I'd like to wish them all good luck, but that is not needed since they are prepared. Instead let's all hope for perfect weather and that they all have a wonderful day!
Go get 'em guys!
