Alison Aiken, just weeks after rocking the triathlon world with her stunning performance at Bristol, New Hampshire's Mooseman 70.3 Half-Ironman has announced her entry in an upcoming 2011 half-ironman. Many onlookers expected her to retire after the Mooseman, but -- despite an injury -- she proved that she is at the top of her game. "So many great memories," she says of Mooseman. Sources close to the sport expect nothing less than another outstanding performance from Aiken.In a related story, Mark Aiken has also decided to race the squash event. This move has experts more than a little befuddled. Although his slapshot has improved in recent months, the other Aiken has done little to prove that he is capable of competing -- or even finishing -- an endurance event this grueling. "He must have been tricked -- or conned," said one anonymous triathlon specialist. Said another, "Maybe he's delusional."
The field is shaping up to be phenomenal -- Marty, Kristin, Lauren, world champ Maria, and many more will be there. An exciting event to say the least.

I'm hoping for some commentary on these momentous newsworthy notes from the canine population of the Aiken establishment - guys?
Steve, let me assure you that the Aiken canines are alive and well -- and behaving like angels! If Mark is slacking in the dog-reporting department, do check out my blog: askoscardog.blogspot.com. I will keep you constantly abreast of Aiken dog developments -- and the reading is, in my opinion, quite a bit more scintillating than Mark's blog.
