A milestone in TriBaby's triathlon career, the 1996 Half Vineman was an exhilarating experience. The mild (by Vineman standards) weather proved an enormous benison; God only knows what would have happened to me out on that killer run course had the temperatures been more typical!An RSTer made the (justifiable!) crack that he was looking forward to "all nine parts" of my Vineman report, but, alas, I'm afraid he had to settle for a measly four, and here they are. Enjoy!
