Nail down a team event

O.K. so we have batted this around a few times, but never settled on anything.
I know that as long as we just keep talking about it and not actually picking something we won't ever get something nailed down.
We talked about Muddy Buddy, but that is us scattered all over the country.  I'm talking about 1 event with a big chunk of us in attendance.

It's o.k. if we don't get everyone included, because not everyone will be able to make every event because of life, prior committments, finances, travel or whatever.  It could easily be me that doesn't make the team event, and that would be disappointing for me, but still be great for the team.

Team event for 2011  Let's get some serious suggestions, take a vote and whatever the majority want to do, lets plan it.   Many of the big events require early committment and registration.  Events in 2011 may in many cases require registration this year.

So please post your suggestions between now and the end of the month.

I'd like this to be a topic of discussion for our next chat session as well.  Let's get as many people involved as possible.

rev3! i can get u slight discount and u can relay the full 140.6 at cedar point! Sept 2011

why not the white rock marathon in December this year? 

For me, timing and cost, but we should certainly add it to the list.  It might be the event that works for everyone.

I just figured with picking an event next year that would give everyone time to save their pennies, cut out their morning starbucks and be able to make it to the event.

But yeah, let's add it to the list.

well, someone is going to have to travel, and dallas is a pretty easy (and usually cheap)  flight for everyone short of alaskans.  

Another really cheap travel spot is Vegas, not sure of interesting events there.

I know people are going to have to travel, that's why I was pushing it out into next year.
It gives people time to save up for it and get their head wrapped around doing it.
Most of these events will be there no matter what year we pick to do them.
