TRIgirl 2008

What an amazing year we had in 2007!! It has been a year of accomplishments for ALL of the TRIgirls. As a team, not only have we welcomed many new triathletes, trained, and raced together but we have made new friends, grown closer with our “old” friends, raised money and goods for those less fortunate, and had some serious party time along with all of the hard work!!

Some of you have become athletes for the first time, others have become athletes again, some have taken their abilities to a new level, and many have set some personal race records! What a year!!!

What we are:

A total of 86 women participated in TRIgirl in 2007
42 TRIgirls did their first triathlon
14 TRIgirls did their first Half-Ironman
9 TRIgirls became Ironman Triathletes
We raised $410 dollars in our Christmas Raffle for Christmas Families
We helped 3 families celebrate Christmas with gifts for children, food and basic items for their households, provided 4 children from Mary Munford’s Special Education program with Christmas gifts and bought four bikes for children from Salem Middle School
We raised $2,000 for Safe Harbor Shelter


BUT, we can’t rest on the laurels of our 2007 success!! It is already time to start thinking and planning for the 2008 season! In that vein, we’d like to thank everyone who participated in the online survey. The information you provided is invaluable in helping us make sure that 2008 is an even greater year than 2007!! If you have any other tips or ideas for the upcoming season, please feel free to contact me any time!!

I am so excited about the coming season and the great ways we’re growing yet still staying a small community. Together we are changing lives and making the world around us a happier and healthier place!!!
