Why release it to the public now? Well, it&#8217;s because I signed up for the Newport Beach Triathlon this year, and I&#8217;ll be once again sending a puzzle pack to anyone who donates as part of my associated fundraiser. &#8220;But Alex&#8221;, you say, &#8220;You don&#8217;t enjoy doing triathlons, why are you doing this again?&#8221; Well, same reason as before &#8212; I need an excuse to get in shape. I&#8217;m planning to climb <a href=\"https:\/\/hikingguy.com\/hiking-trails\/los-angeles-hikes\/san-bernardino-peak-hike\/\">San Bernardino Peak<\/a> in June, but how can I stay motivated after that? Why, by signing up for a triathlon in November of course. This one is a little shorter than the Malibu one, so I may not hate it quite as much this time. Anyway, keep your eyes out for the puzzle pack announcement coming soon!<\/p>\n<p><em>Do you like acrostic puzzles? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/crosswordnexus\">Join our Patreon!<\/a><br \/>\nDo you want a place to discuss puzzles? <a href=\"https:\/\/discord.gg\/ep2J3KXcmM\">Join our Discord!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/crosswordnexus.com\/solve?file=\/downloads\/site_puzzles\/Kirby2.jpz\">Enjoy the solve!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PUZZLE LINKS: Online Solver | JPZ Download Here&#8217;s a puzzle we released for the triathlon fundraiser we did in 2023.
