Major kudos to Team FTP this past weekend. Dave Bishop and Jessica Van Orden took on the challenge known as Powerman Alabama. This course is certainly not for the weak. The undulating terrain laughs in the face of those ill-prepared for such a race. Both Dave and Jessica are training for early season half ironmans. Dave-Austria 70.3 and Jessica-White Lake.

Dave and Jessica not only race impressively, both athletes qualified for Team USA and Long Course Duathlon World Championships.
