Great race in 2008!

Congrats on a great race Team Mike!

It was a blast.

I have added a slide show of photos that were sent to me. If you have photos you want to send me I would really appreciate it. I'm putting together a book that I will send to everyone and you can order it if you want. The more photos the better. Please email photos to jendockerty@gmail.com

If you want to download or order prints of any of the photos you see in the slide show visit my flickr site and look for the Triathlon 2008 set of photos. You can also check out photos of the Kids Tri too.

Thanks for the great times everyone looking forward to next year!

Shirts are done.

If you are one of the 10 people that ordered a shirt, it is ready. I will bring the shirts to bookclub on Monday, July 7th. I will also bring the shirts to Korie's house on Friday, July 11th. If you want to get your shirt before the 11th please contact me at jendockerty@gmail.com.

The total cost per shirt came to $22.

They are a brighter orange than last year but I think they still look nice. It was the best I could come up with given the timing.

Hopefully the sizes will work out as I ended up having to adjust the sizes as the shirts themselves are on a very different size scale than last years shirts. I ended up having 10 people want shirts after I had already placed the order for 10 shirts so I do not have any extras. I'm sure we can make it all work.

Sunday, July 6th -- Open Water Swim

Proposed: Open Water swim this Sunday morning, 8:30, at Lake Nokomis (from the beach where the tri will take place in a mere 10 days!). Some triathletes have mentioned wanting to swim and then run around the lake. Water temp as of Monday was 72.5.

Training this weekend?

Is anyone headed out to train this weekend? I'd love to join for the swim part.... gosh this is getting close! (In case no one else is proposing a date / time: either Sat or Sun at 8:30?)
--Erika

Relay, anyone?

I finally admitted to myself (with the help of my PT person) that I can't do the full tri this summer. I'm still going to train (really, run) as much as I can, but between the knees and the arm, it's too much... if it weren't for the biking.... I'm in for next year, for sure. And I am hoping to convince someone to do a relay with me yet! Anyone up for biking? I would do the swim and/or run....

Shirts

I will be placing an order for 2008 Team Mike shirts. Logo is same as last year only it says 2008. Color scheme is the same but the shirt itself is slightly different. The Nike Dri Fit Orange are no longer available in most sizes. At this time I'm ordering 10 shirts which leaves about 4 extra. If you are interested or know of someone who is interested in a shirt let me know. The order has not been placed yet but will be placed today or tomorrow.

Saturday June 21st 8am Sprint Tri Workout/Brunch

Sally & Suzan are planning to swim, bike & run this Saturday at 8am at Lake Nokomis.
Please join us. More importantly, we'll be going out for brunch after this workout.

Sally will be prepping for olympic distance. Suzan will be prepping for the
the Sprint distance.

Anyone want to join us? More importantly, where should we brunch after?
I haven't visited the blog in a while, sorry I missed last weekend's workout.

Group Swim & Bike Sat 14th

Hi guys,

About 4 of us are planning to meet up for a swim at 8am this Saturday the 14th and then going for a bike ride afterwards. Hilary can't bike afterwards but the rest of us will be going out.

Anyone else interested? Meeting up at the beach about 8am.

Sara

Lake swim or bike ride Saturday June 14th?

Anyone want to meet at Lake Nakomis around 8am for a swim and/or a bike ride on Saturday June 14th?

I believe Sara is organizing something for this Saturday the 7th but I am unable to attend this Saturday.

Also I do not have any plans to order new Team Mike shirts for this years Tri as I didn't get any responses. Just thought I would let you know in case you were wondering the status of that.

Did training start already?

Just kidding. First time on the blog, thanks for creating this Suzan.

NEW Team Mike shirts?

Is there any interest in new 2008 Team Mike shirts? Let me know if you are interested, I will gauge interest and if there are enough people interested I will put something together similar to what Erika did last year. Things are slow for me at work so I'm happy to coordinate this task.

If you can't post to the blog you can just email me at jendockerty@gmail.com and let me know your thoughts on the shirts. I'm open to your ideas as well. What did you like or dislike about the shirts last year?

Jen

Ahh! I'm not working out quite like last year!

Anybody else finding it challenging to get your workouts in?

Running

Hello out there!

If anyone has a regular running schedule, will you please let me know if you're up for company? I've been running 9:30/min pace for about 2 miles about 3x a week, but I have a plan to increase! If anyone is doing any road races before the tri, let me know too.

I'm doing Race for the Cure...will you join me or sponsor me? Just $5 will help me meet my fundraising goal. Thanks for considering!
