It's all on in China this weekend, IM, 70.3 and F1.

Evidently there was an IM and a 70.3 in China this weekend as well. I hear it was hot and the swim was downstream. That about sums that up.

Personally I was more interested today to get my long run out of the way and get some solid couch time watching a rain soaked F1 China. I missed it last night since I couldn't stay up till 3am watching racing (although in previous years I probably would have).

It was a great race with lots of passing and several "offs". I love races in the rain as much of the technical traits of the cars are all but erased and it is left to driving ability. Interestingly the Red Bull guys are evidently the best rain drivers (Vettle and Webber). Alonso, it seems, totally sucks in the rain. Hamilton was up and down, I am still betting his luck will continue to evolve this season as the McLaren boys get Thieu act together.

I do really enjoy seeing all these old, washed up, has beens kicking ass (I speak of Webber and Button, Vettle is just a kid).

I just wish we had some super technical, rain soaked triathlons every once in a while. It seems like its always a flat out an back course in pristine weather.
