LaGreenga helps organize a green triathlon, hilarity ensues

I'm really proud to be part of this event, a USATriathlon-sanctioned race at the Tigua Reservation in September. First, it's really ironic because you'll never find me running a mile, let alone biking and swimming.

But the organizers, including a very sporty superwoman type named Gabriela Gallegos who founded Race El Paso, love that stuff. We just launched the Web site, so check it out, especially the "Race Green" page.

It was important for Race El Paso that the race make an effort to respect the environment. Concretely, that means that we took the Pledge of Sustainability from an organization called Athletes for a Fit Planet and committed to a certain number of green actions, such as 100% online registration, reusable race bags and more. This is a great project and I'm proud to be part of it.

Just as long as I don't have to run it...
