Long Course/Teams is still open but the Short Course is closed... if you want though, you are able to sign up for the Long, call the organizer and get put on the Short Course waiting list.... This is exactly what Kate did and she is now a Short Course participant.
This is a fun Tri that we have been doing for the past 3 years... again, got to love the group-get-together.. Not saying we want to break the record we set last year for our Group Size but....
This began as a tradition we wanted to start for the McCarthy Family after Kate's Mom, Ann, passed.. she was a great supporter of Kate starting her first Trail Half Marathon @ Devils Lake, meeting us at turns and leading the pack through finding us as we ran the 13.1mi. I still remember her saying that if she could, she would be out there with us doing the fun run/walks.. I believe she would've been the next half-marathon person wearing a T-shirt that said,
"IF you can read this, you are being PASSED by a PowerWalker!"
The lady was as true of a McCarthy as they come: honest, admirable, and Irish, through and through..
Nothing like doing something together, to better ourselves in our lives, in memory of another.
So with that being said: WHO is in?!
Think about it and get signed up. We will have details to come about the night before again as we get things worked out but know that the more the merrier.. I am teaming up this year in the long course with a Triathlon newbie who has willingly decided she will be the swimmer... and I gladly said, "Yes, you will!"
ALSO: can't help but chime in with how great things are for the summer of vegetables, fruit, and all that is InSeason... check out the blog if you are in the mood for some update, new recipes, and pretty much all that encompasses the summer of Freshness!
Be Happy & Healthy... V
