Topic: RE: Nail down a team event
Based on response for membership in the team at this point, a "Big Chunk" of our team would be 3 - 4 members. I know of 4 people in our group who are planning on running Rocky Raccoon next year... That's the MAJORITY of the team.

Topic: RE: Nail down a team event
Scott,
With just a few members at this point, and given the fact that we are all so far spread out throughout the coutry, demographically and financially for a lot of folks, a "Team Event" might be difficult to hammer down. I would say that ANY race a team member races could potentially be a "Team Event" and the hope would be that we could have 1 or 2 or maybe more members race together in it.
If the interest is there, I can look at throwing our own event here in Texas, will get permits, sponsors, etc and make this a "Team Event" and have it be a fundraiser for our group that could be used to fund an annual training camp or something. Just thinking out loud. A Sprint Triathlon, and a 10K or 15K race would be great over a Saturday for the run, and perhaps Sunday for the Triathlon.
THOUGHTS????

Topic: RE: Nail down a team event
So we have some suggestions, but not a lot of discussion about these possible events.
Is there any interest in trying to go further with this?

Topic: RE: Just An FYI....
I joined a new gym. This is huge for me. I was a member at the other for 11 years. Anyway, new place does not have a time limit on cardio. I can run/bike as long as I want to. Also...and this is the biggie...they have a pool and a rock wall. They also have a masters swim coach. So after I pay off the sign up fee, I'm saving for lessons with the master coach. I am determined to learn to be a better swimmer. And I'm taking rock climbing lesson. I'd love to do an adventure race and there is on in NM every year where a small wall is involved....climing and whatever thats called coming down...belay? So...anyway...I'm outta my comfort zone.

I'd consider anything of the marathons. I can't swim so tris would be out for me.
