Monument 10K Spirit Award

Did you know that if your friends and family come to cheer on the TRIgirls and other runners, at the Monument Avenue 10K, that we could earn a donation for Safe Harbor Shelter? Up to $200! We will be competing in the Spirit Contest. We're still working on the details of the location, and will post the info as soon as we have them. In the mean time, mark your calendars (and your family's calendars) for the morning of April 5th. If your not running it, come help us cheer!

Round Two -- Team Evotri Contest

Thank you for all of your support and your votes! With your help, I am excited to say that I made it to Round Two of the Team Evotri contest!

The Richmond area support has been amazing -- especially for someone like me who's a bit shy. It is a little overwhelming even!

*****To vote in the second round, you have to send an email to vote@evotri.com and in addition to "Jonah Holland" in the subject line, you also must write "Round Two" for the vote to be counted. ********

The entire Richmond community (TRIgirls, Richmond TRI Club members, teachers, bloggers, friends and friends of friends) have been so great in supporting me. I am very grateful.

If you have time please go to the Evotri website and watch all 7 videos and vote for the one that you think best answers these questions (hopefully it's mine):
1. How will you benefit the team if you're chosen? What are your personalattributes?
2. How have you, and how do you plan to give back to the endurancesport community? Nothing is too insignificant, list it all.
3. Why tri? Please be as creative as possible in explaining why you are passionate about triathlon and endurance sport?

Standing Ovation

I'm told that TRIgirl40 will be wearing a pink fur-lined skirt for her acceptance speech. Congratulations on your blog's award! We're proud of you!

Courage

"Life shrinks and expands in proportion to one's courage." Anais Nin

You've had it in the back of your mind or perhaps have even said once or twice, "I want to do a triathlon." Or perhaps you are a triathlete who needs a little guidance or a bit of camaraderie. Wherever you are on the triathlon spectrum, we have a place for you. Expand your life and find the courage that lies within you and come out to see what the TRIgirl movement is all about...

Our informational meeting for new and potential TRIgirls is scheduled for Sunday, January 13 at 6 p.m. at Maramarc Fitness.
Come one, come all!!!

Let TRIgirl Training help YOU meet your 2008 fitness goals!

We'll bring the party

Alright, Set-UpEvents. You hold the race and we'll bring the party.

After three hours of palm-sweating, wine drinking, cursing, threats, phone calls, emails and 10 pages of posts on the forum, White Lake, NC will now be the location of the first 1/2 Ironman of the TRIgirl 2008 season.

White Lake, NC, are you really ready for this crew????

There is nothing like that registration confirmation email to get the motivation going. The race off in the distance becomes real, the training becomes purposeful, and the real fun begins!
May 3, 2008 will be a glorious day in the land of Pink.
