Tri Training Team Intro

Below is an email I sent to several people on 12/30/09. I heard back from a few of them.

I thought it would be fun to set up an email team of all that are planning on either doing the YWCA Women’s Triathlon with me on my 40th birthday and/or joining me for my next informal and unofficial triathlon. We can share our training progress, tips on training/food/clothing/mental preparation, frustrations and setbacks, etc. Not all of you know each other, so you could get to know the others that have been somehow been inspired by this crazy quest of mine. Maybe we can even do some optional group training activities at some point. What do you think? Are you interested in being part of an email list serv for this? If not, that’s OK, it doesn’t mean I won’t continue to communicate with you about my progress and all that. So, as a hint, this email is going out to those that participated in my previous informal and unofficial triathlon’s including A.K., K.F., J.H., and Joanne, the two of you who have told me you want to do the official one this year with me (that be T.R and L.N.) and the two people who have more recently heard about this aspect of my life and have told me they would like to participate with me the next round (S.M. and D.D). And, we can certainly add others, especially if I forgot someone.

In the meantime, here is a link to my blog with my race report from my 8/2009 informal and unofficial triathlon
